2
Miami Beach officers suspended after allegations of misconduct in the public
eye
Had enough? Write to the Speaker of the House, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and demand federal
hearings into the police problem in America.
Demand mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike rule on abuse, and a
permanent DOJ office on Police
Misconduct.
MIAMI
BEACH, Fla. — Two Miami Beach police officers have been relieved from duty
pending internal affairs investigations.
The
Miami Herald (http://bit.ly/H4R6Lt ) reports Officer Eric Dominguez was
captured on video driving his squad car on South Beach so quickly that at one
point the vehicle went airborne. The beach was crowded with tourists, and
Dominguez was responding to an "emergency police assist" call.
The
video was later posted on YouTube.
Officer
Michael Veski has also been relieved from duty over allegations he was drinking
beer while riding as a passenger in his squad car. Investigators have not
determined who was driving the vehicle.
The
incidents are the latest to shake the Miami Beach Police Department. Over the
past year, several other officers have been scrutinized and fired for
misconduct.
