The Miami Dolphins‘ decision to release star wide receiver Tyreek Hill this week has given one former police officer a chance to settle an old score. And Danny Torres did not let the opportunity pass him by.
Torres—the now-retired Miami-Dade officer who was at the center of the viral 2024 roadside detention of Hill just before the Dolphins’ season opener—took to social media with a pointed jab following the news of Hill’s release.
In a Facebook post, Torres declared he had been “pretty much crucified for doing my job” during the incident and confirmed that he stands by his actions and the comments he made back then.
Now free from the constraints of active duty, Torres made it clear he’s no longer holding back his personal views on the NFL star. He ripped the “Cheetah” over everything from the arrest to his famous inability to pay child support.
“Hmmmmm… I guess it took a bit, but KARMA got you,” Torres wrote. “Now that I am retired, I can tell you how I feel about you. You’re an entitled A**HOLE and an embarrassment to the team and city that kissed your ass.”
“I wish you the best and hope you are able to afford ALL that child support, especially now that you’re unemployed.”
Murder. First degree. Just an absolute shellacking.

Danny Torres Tyreek Hill Feud Reignited: Retired Cop Unleashes Savage ‘Karma’ Rant After Dolphins Cut
I mean, it’s next to impossible to argue the “entitled a-hole” part of Torres’s post. It was pretty evident on the day that Hill was arrested. It became even more apparent as he tried to play the race card afterward and called on the officer to be fired. It’s been apparent ever since, in his actions toward his kids and the women in his life.
The original confrontation with police exploded into national headlines on September 8, 2024, when Hill was pulled over for alleged reckless driving and speeding en route to Hard Rock Stadium. Bodycam footage showed Torres and other officers ordering Hill to keep his window down and exit the vehicle amid escalating tension.
Hill was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and briefly pinned face-down on the pavement before being cited and released in time to play that afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars—where he scored an 80-yard touchdown and celebrated by mimicking the handcuff gesture.
The episode sparked widespread debate over police conduct, potential profiling, and excessive force. But it should have sparked a debate on entitled athletes who don’t comply with law enforcement when they’re stopped for breaking the law.

Hill was not entirely forthcoming with what really happened during the arrest. He insisted he was compliant even when the bodycam footage shows him scolding police officers for tapping on his window.
The president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association issued a statement defending the officer’s actions at the time.
“He was briefly detained for officer safety, after driving in a manner in which he was putting himself and others in great risk of danger,” he said.
“Upon being stopped, Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs,” he continued. “Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground.”
Redirected to the ground is … *chef’s kiss*.
Hill would eventually admit his behavior could have been better and, despite previous claims to the media, acknowledged that he did not cooperate when asked to keep his heavily tinted window down.
Tyreek’s traffic tickets were eventually dismissed.
