Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill maintained his stance that the officer who was placed on administrative duties over the handling of his detention over the weekend should be fired.

When asked about it at a press conference on Wednesday, Hill made a motion with his left arm as if to say throw the person out.

"Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. He gotta go man," he said. "Because, in that instance right there, not only did he treat me bad, he also treated my teammates with disrespect. He had some crazy words toward them and they ain’t even do nothing. Like, what did they do to you? They were just walking on the sidewalk. He gotta go man.

"Not too many times ‘Cheetah’ say people gotta go, but you … out. Gone!"

Miami-Dade Police identified the officer who was placed on administrative duties as Danny Torres – a 27-yeaar veteran of the force.

Torres’ lawyers released a statement on Monday calling for his reinstatement.

"While we believe the decision to place our client on leave was premature, we respect Director Daniels' call for a thorough review of the incident involving Mr. Tyreek Hill, a stance we fully support," the lawyers said. "We urge all parties to refrain from making public statements that may misrepresent our client’s actions and mislead the public about Mr. Hill's detainment. 

"We call for our client’s immediate reinstatement, and a complete, thorough, and objective investigation, as Director Daniels has also advocated. Our client will not comment until this investigation is concluded and the facts are fully revealed."

On Wednesday, Hill also admitted he thought he could have acted differently in that moment.

"I could have let down my window in that instant," he said. "But, the thing about me is, I don’t want attention. I don’t want to be like, cameras out, phones on you, in that moment. But at the end of the day, I’m human. I gotta follow rules. I gotta do what everyone else would do.

"Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently."

Voters across party lines in Fox News’ focus group reacted to a moment in Tuesday night’s presidential debate when former President Trump declared that Haitian migrants are "eating the dogs" in an Ohio town – despite pushback from local officials on the claim.

"In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats," Trump said. "They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

When Trump made the claim, approval from all groups – Republicans, independents and Democrats – dipped, with the strongest dips coming from independents and Republicans, while Democratic approval remained low.

The claim was based on a number of online reports that had gone viral in recent days. Springfield has seen a significant increase in the number of Haitian migrants arriving in the town, sparking complaints from a number of local residents.

Among those claims are a number of unsubstantiated reports that migrants have eaten ducks or pets. One claim appears to be based on an incident in Canton, Ohio, where a woman had allegedly eaten a cat – but there was no indication she was Haitian.

In response to a query from Fox News Digital, local officials pushed back against the claims surfacing online.

"In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community," the city said.

But a number of Republicans have continued to push the claims, including pointing to a report of a police call that claimed migrants had stolen geese.

At the debate, Trump’s approval rose again from Republicans and independents after the exchange as he started to talk more broadly about the border crisis, accusing Harris of "destroying this country" and warning that the U.S. "doesn’t have a chance of success" if she is elected.

But it dropped again among Democrats and independents, and rose slightly among Republicans, when Trump was challenged on his claim by the moderators and stood by it.

"The people on television are saying, ‘My dog was taken and used for food,’" he said.
