The Miami-Dade Police Department has launched an investigation and announced disciplinary action against a pair of officers after body-camera footage captured an officer striking a Black woman in the face.
Footage of the incident, which was shared on Wednesday on social media, showed a woman talking to a pair of Miami police officers at the Miami International Airport. At one point, the woman approached an officer, standing just inches away from him.

The officers — Anthony Rodriguez and Ricardo Alvarez — were told that the woman, Paris Sharon Anderson, had gone behind an American Airlines rebooking desk and that she was threatening employees.
Anderson, 21, had allegedly begun voicing threats after missing a flight to Chicago and learning that there were no other flights traveling to that destination that day.
Alvarez reportedly walked Anderson, 21, away from the counter after the officers arrived. After Rodriguez asked Anderson to gather her belongings to leave the area, Anderson grew upset, the police report said.
The report said that Anderson "aggressively approached" Rodriguez and hit him on the chin with her head. Rodriguez then "struck Ms. Anderson on her left side of the face with an open hand," the report added.
Officers placed Anderson into custody after Rodriguez struck her.

There's a lot going on here but what's important in this report is the police officers are not identified as Hispanic in the headline or the article. Had the officer been white, the headline would include "White Officer Hit Black Woman"
There's no mention of Hispanic at the original source:
If you headbutt someone, expect a snack.
Open handed? Admirable restraint.
Not seein’ the problem
Smack, not snack. Autocorrect rules again.
In these daze of CV2 it’s best to drive.
Hmmm ...Is that racist?
When you get up in a police officer’s face, you are invading the safe distance between yourself and the officer’s weapon. As a Correctional Officer, when we carried outside the facility, we were told not to allow anyone to get within an arm’s distance of our weapon. She was not within an arm’s distance...she was right in his face, and could have tried to grab his weapon at any time. An officer should be able to use the amount of physical force necessary to remove that threat.
More white hispanics.
You come at a cop, this is one of more pleasant things that can result.
I don’t see a problem here.
I thought you were referring to her own teeth...
Autocorrect is to clarity as fish are to the Sahara.
Charge up to the police, close to NO distance between you, then do your “thang” and try to physically attempt to intimidate the officer. . .no way that’s gonna fly. And this “woman” thing. . .Black women are some of the most explosive and violent people out there. She invaded his personal space (no room for the officer to keep distance), and if he did backup, and you see this all the time, just like a wild animal she would continue encroaching on the officer, violating his personal space needed for safety and making it a situation where she could strike him before he knew what was happening.

execution first, trial later
She took that punch like Ali, but I think it stunned her enough because she folded like an envelope when they closed in for the cuffs.
Mouthy witch came extremely close to his right side. Maybe not the best way for him to have handled it, but it’s certainly not a decision worthy of being a national news story. Marxist millennials and weeping white women might feel differently though.
woman who challenged officer: Cheetos, Lays Potato Chips or Fritos. I never can choose under pressure.
P.S. I'll owe you one. I make a typo and don't notice around once a day. No offense intended.
They only do it because our warped legal system protects them. In a saner time they’d be treated like a rabid dog.
Indeed.
The cop (who never should have been one) didn’t hit her because she got in his face (and certainly not a headbutt).
He hit because he is a bully and couldn’t take a woman saying, “What you gonna do”?
She’s no prize but it didn’t warrant his action. I’d ask all the fellow bullies here if they would have hit her too?
The mob mentality often on display here stinks and does an injustice to conservatives.
In da hood they say whites never fight back or do nuffin. Just take it, pay taxes and work like a son of a gun. whaddup with him?
