https://www.huffpost.com/entry/miami-dade-officer-relieved-duty_n_5c8a5198e4b0450ddae7d951A South Florida police officer has been relieved of duty after a video surfaced showing a woman being placed in a headlock and thrown to the ground after she called police about being assaulted with a firearm.
The video posted to social media captures the Miami-Dade officer saying that the woman, identified as Dyma Loving, 26, needs to be corrected, apparently for how she was dealing with the officers. Shes then seen forcefully taken down onto the sidewalk, handcuffed, taken into custody and arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting an officer, according to a police report.
Loving told HuffPost in a telephone interview Thursday that following the Miami incident, she wont be able to see police officers the same.
None of them, she added. Because I literally called [them] for help with my life and thats how [they] treated me. ... [They] beat me up.

Giraldo, identified by the department as a field training officer, has been relieved of duty and the incident is being investigated, Perez said.
So I guess they are OK with this type of training.
