Miami-Dade police officer involved in the Tyreek Hill incident identified | Quickcast
SUMMARY: In Miami, an internal investigation is ongoing regarding the police confrontation with Dolphins player Tyreek Hill, where he was forcibly removed from his car outside Hard Rock Stadium. Miami-Dade police identified Officer Danny Torres, who remains on administrative duties. Meanwhile, Miami Beach police are investigating a shooting incident on the Julia Tuttle Causeway, with a woman hospitalized in critical condition. Additionally, historic events include the first debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, and SpaceX’s successful launch of the Polaris Dawn crew, aiming for record heights and commercial spacewalks.
In today‘s Quickcast:
The Miami-Dade Police Department has identified one of the officers involved in the detainment of Miami Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill.
MDPD said, “Officer Danny Torres, 27-year tenure, remains in administrative duties, as the Internal Affairs investigation is still ongoing. We will provide further information once it becomes available pending the outcome of the investigation.”
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, called for the officers involved to be fired.
“For me, personally, I believe the police officers that did that to Tyreek shouldn’t be in that position — they should be let go,” Rosenhaus told ESPN.
On Monday, the department released bodycam video of the officers detaining Hill.
The video shows a motorcycle police officer dragging Hill, 30, out of his black McLaren sports car by his arm and head and forcing him face-first onto the ground after Hill put up the window of his car during a traffic stop before Sunday’s game. A senior law enforcement source told CBS News Miami that Hill, a five-time All-Pro wide receiver, was stopped for reckless driving.
As the video shows, the altercation between the officers and Hill escalated quickly. The officers cursed at Hill but he did not resist their physical force or strike at them. He told one officer, “Don’t tell me what to do.”
Video shows that two motorcycle officers went after Hill after he appeared to speed past them in his car on the roadway entering Hard Rock Stadium in light traffic. They turned on their lights and pulled Hill over. One knocked on the driver’s window and told him to put it down, which Hill did and handed him his driver’s license.
“Don’t knock on my window like that,” Hill told the officer repeatedly.
“I have to knock to let you know I am here,” the officer told Hill while repeatedly asking why the player didn’t have his seatbelt on.
“Just give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. I am going to be late. Do what you gotta do,” Hill told the officer while putting his darkly tinted window back up.
“Keep your window down,” the officer told him, again tapping on the glass. Hill can still be seen inside.
Hill cracked the window and said, “Don’t tell me what to do.” He put the window back up. The officer again told Hill to put it back down or “I am going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car.”
The officer then demanded Hill open the door. Another officer stepped up and said, “Get out of the car or I will break that … window,” using an obscenity.
The door opened and the second officer reached in and grabbed Hill by the arm and the back of the head as the player said, “I am getting out.”
The second officer forced Hill face-first onto the ground. Three officers pulled Hill’s arms behind his back as Hill yelled into his cell phone, “I am getting arrested, Drew.” He was speaking to the team’s director of security, Drew Brooks, who soon showed up at the scene. Drew Rosenhaus, his agent, also showed up.
The officers handcuffed Hill and one put a knee in the middle of his back. “If we tell you to do something, do it.”
“Take me to jail, brother, do what you gotta do,” Hill replied.
“We are,” an officer said.
“You crazy,” Hill said to the officer.
The officers then pull him to his feet as Hill said, “Why you beating on my window like you are all crazy for?”
The officers stood Hill up and walked him to the sidewalk. One officer told him to sit on the curb. Hill said to the officer he just had surgery on his knee.
An officer then jumped behind him and put a barhold around Hill’s upper chest or neck. He pulled Hill into a seating position.

Gordon churns in Atlantic as Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 slams North Carolina
SUMMARY: Fox 35 News reports on the current tropical conditions as of September 16. Despite forecasts predicting an active season, the number of named storms is below average, while impactful storms have already made landfall in the U.S. Notably, a non-named storm caused significant rainfall in North Carolina. Looking ahead, a potential system in the Western Caribbean could develop between September 24 and 27, with favorable conditions for hurricane formation. Warm Gulf waters and low wind shear may contribute to this possibility. Meteorologist Noah Beren emphasizes the need for close monitoring of upcoming developments in the tropics.
An unnamed system hit the Carolinas hard on Monday, bringing over 20 inches of rain and wind gusts exceeding 70 mph.

Body camera video of suspect in apparent Trump assassination attempt. #news #abcactionnews
SUMMARY: The content consists of a series of instructions, directing someone to take two steps to their right and continue walking straight. It also includes a brief mention of a name, likely โRyanโ or โAtin R. Ryan.โ The instructions seem to guide the person in a specific direction, possibly in a physical space, but lack context about the purpose or setting for these actions. Overall, it’s a straightforward set of directional commands with minimal personal identification.
Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
