Herman Hill, the father of Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, was at the team's game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night and was there cheering on his son in every way.
Hill was on the sideline at Hard Rock Stadium wearing a white T-shirt with a two-word message: “Free the Cheetahs” and a photo of his son celebrating last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The wide receiver had his arms behind his back as Jaylen Waddle “unhooked” imaginary handcuffs, mocking police restraints.

Tyreek Hill played in Thursday night's game after a lengthy few days of practice.
Hill was taken into custody Sunday near Hard Rock Stadium after being pulled over for a traffic violation. Body camera footage of the incident shows the tense moments when Miami-Dade Police officers stopped Hill for the traffic violation, removed him from his car, wrestled him to the ground and handcuffed him.
One officer involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duty after being detained.
Hill has since called for the officer to be fired.

The wide receiver spoke about the incident during a press conference on Wednesday, acknowledging he could have handled it differently.
“My life is full of responsibility,” Hill said. “How can I do better? I have police officers in my family right now. We've talked about it. Yes, I acknowledge that I could have done better. I could have opened the window in that moment. But I don't want attention. I don't want to be watched by cameras or cell phones in that moment.”

“But at the end of the day, I'm a human being. I have to follow the rules and do the same things that everyone else does. So does that give them the right to literally beat me up? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back in time and do some things a little differently.”
