*The director of the Miami-Dade Police Department has ordered an investigation after one of his officers was seen in a viral video striking a woman in the face, reports CBS Miami. The officer has been relieved of duty.
Miami filmmaker Billy Corben tweeted a video of the incident Wednesday night at Miami International Airport. An unmasked Black woman gets in the face of an unmasked, male Miami-Dade officer and says, “You acting like you White when you really Black. … What you gonna do?”
The officer then punch/smacks the woman clean in the face, grabs her and pushes her to the ground.
A second officer rushes in, as does the officer whose body cam was recording the incident.
