The incident occurred before his NFL team’s home opener on Sunday. The video shows a police officer knocking on Hill's window and arguing with him to keep it open. The officer then tells him to get out of the car before another officer comes over, opens the car door and grabs Hill by the back of the head, forcing him face down on the pavement as he puts him in handcuffs with a knee pressed against his back. Officers then pick the still-handcuffed Hill back up and lead him to the sidewalk, where they ask him to sit. Hill asks them to slow down because he 'just had surgery on my knee' as an officer grabs him from behind around the neck and forces him into a seated position on the curb.
