Michael Wilbon is now giving his perspective on what he saw and thought about Tyreek Hill being dragged from his car, arrested, and eventually let go before Week One.
ESPN analyst Michael Wilbon spoke out on the incident after Miami-Dade police released a body cam video that shows how a dispute over how far Hill needed to open his window quickly escalated into them pulling the Miami Dolphins receiver from his car by his head.
During Tuesday’s edition of “Pardon the Interruption,” Wilbon made it clear, “I don’t have any questions,” Wilbon said. “I’m old enough, lived long enough, and have driven while Black long enough.”

“The police acted with excessive force,” Wilbon continued. “I don’t need anybody to say allegedly. No, we got the video. Having said that, more than one thing can be true. If Tyreek Hill rolls down his window, he might have diminished the chances of that happening. I say might because when you’re ‘driving while black,’ you don’t have to provoke police to get dragged out of your car. So, he might have gotten dragged out anyway.”
