Two Miami-Dade cops charged after video catches sergeant slapping a handcuffed teen

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Feb. 26--The home surveillance video was jarring: A Miami-Dade police sergeant suddenly slapping a handcuffed teenager in the face as he is about to be led away to a patrol car.

Prosecutors have now charged the sergeant - and another officer who is suspected of trying to destroy the video surveillance system that captured the slap.

Miami-Dade Sgt. Manuel Regueirowas charged Tuesday with misdemeanor battery, prosecutors announced. Officer Alexander Gonzalez was also charged with a count of third-degree felony tampering with evidence, and misdemeanor petty theft.

"It's infuriating. This is happening at a time when police and community relations are already stressed," Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle told the Miami Herald.

So it's the timing, not the act.
