With racial tensions on the rise in the U.S., a white police officer has landed in hot water after he was filmed punching a Black woman at Miami International Airport.

On Wednesday evening, July 1, 2020, the white Police officer for the Miami-Dade Police Department, Antonio Rodriguez, was filmed on another officer’s bodycam punching the black woman at the airport.

“You acting like you white when you really Black…what you want to do?”
