From looking at the video the man was trying to talk to the officer. The officer turned to walk away, the man grabbed his arm for attention saying listen to me, officer started swinging which was an over reaction. That is the problem. Cop escalated threw first punch.

I tend to support the police 100%, and the guy here may have stolen the cart keys, etc. But I completely agree with you. He grabbed the policeman\u2019s wrist and said \u201clisten to me\u201d\u2026 and the policeman went crazy and started the violence\u2026 excessive use of force, without a doubt\u2026

@MiamiDadePD this person did not pose a threat to the officer.He wanted to grab the officer's attention and he grabbed his arm.The response from the officer was not justified. The battery on a cop is not justified.I hope a lawyer watching this files a lawsuit against @MiamiDadePD

Simple battery on an officer. He's in trouble.\n\nStill, though, is that how we want our cops behaving when they should just be arresting people? He could have given him the command to submit for arrest instead of starting a brawl.

"battery on a cop"? The cop was the one who needlessly sucker punched the guy and then put him on a choke hold. I get that the guy was not right in his taking over the golf cart..but we should acknowledge at the same time that this cop's actions were excessive and unnecessary.

By definition under FL law this is indeed battery and how do you know the man didn't pose a threat? He's upset over a flight delay, takes a golf cart, then grabs an officer's arm? This guy has a screw loose.

It wasn\u2019t a \u201ctouch\u201d. It was a grab. If somone grabbed me like that I would consider it an assault.

When I first watched the video I thought the punch came out of left field. Then I rewatched a few times, and Mayfrer Serranopaca clearly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. That's when he became a threat. Reading the rest of the details, your boy couldn't be more wrong.
