"In these videos, black students are met with extremely aggressive policing from officers," said Ruban Roberts, president of the Miami-Dade chapter of the NAACP.
The Miami-Dade chapter of the NAACP is calling for the removal of the Miami Beach police chief and city manager in response to videos showing police interactions with black spring breakers last week.
While she is on the ground, the woman appears to kick the officer as he holds her neck down until backup arrives. "The videos, along with the police officers' body camera footage, captured the hostile crowd, fights, and disorderly actions of numerous spring breakers," Millan said."We are confident that a fair and thorough investigation will result in all officers being cleared of any wrongdoing."
Story continuesRoberts said that during spring break and similar occasions, such as Memorial Day weekend, police will"up the ante" and use excessive force, particularly with black youth. Roberts said the sounds were actually from police guns that fire rubber bullets. Roberts said that after the officer collided with the woman, he turned and pushed her down.
