A Miami-Dade police officer was charged this week for forcefully arresting a woman, and then allegedly making false statements about what happened, in an incident that sparked outrage after video of the incident went viral.
Giraldo was arrested on Thursday and charged with official misconduct, a felony, for allegedly making false statements in official reports. He was also charged with battery. Giraldo said he made the arrest because Loving “would not obey commands,” was “uncooperative,” and was “screaming at us, causing a scene in a residential neighborhood,” according to the police report. None of these statements, however, could be backed by evidence, officials said.
“The fact is that the other officers involved in Dyma’s arrest assisted Officer Giraldo and drafted police reports detailing the incident,” Moore said. “It is more than reasonable that they meet the same scrutiny that Officer Giraldo has received.”
