It has not been long since Tyreek Hill became the center of attention throughout the country. His rather forceful arrest became a national debate based on how law enforcement showed alleged racial bias when it came to handling people.
On Friday, the arrest of former Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler caught his attention, but the Miami Dolphins WR is left with one pressing question about the situation.
After watching how everything is unfolding with the Cutler arrest, the superstar wideout took to his X account.
I don’t see no media outlets talking about what just happened with former QB.

He was pointing to the alleged bias from media outlets for not blowing up the arrest of Jay Cutler for far more serious crimes than what he did. During his time, people from even nonsporting backgrounds were talking about it.

Tyreek Hill was stopped for speeding on his way to Hard Rock Stadium for their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But after the stop, the way the police handled the superstar was what caught the attention of the nation. Forcefully being dragged out of his car and being forced to the ground with a knee in his back were just some of the missteps the officers took.
The 30-year-old later demanded that authorities to fire the officer who used force on him. That and several other comments from analysts and fans led to nationwide race-based debates. It only started to die down after the Miami Dolphins star himself started to dampen it down after visits with Miami-Dade police.

TMZ reported that the Franklin Police Department received a call around 5 pm on Thursday about an accident. When they reached the spot, they found former Chicago Bears quarterback who had rear-ended another vehicle. Officers saw the former Pro Bowler slurring his speech and reeking of alcohol.
After refusing a field sobriety test, officers placed Jay Cutler in handcuffs and searched his vehicle. Officers found a rifle and a loaded handgun. They later took him to a hospital to get a blood sample and booked him for DUI and three other offenses. He even offered $2000 to the driver of the car he hit to stop them from calling the police.
A Tennessee jail has booked the 12-year NFL veteran, who has a court date set for January 2025. The star was once married to actress Kristin Cavallari and has three children with her. This arrest could be detrimental to his battle for the custody of his children.
