"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.

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.
