New information has emerged regarding the Miami-Dade police officer involved in the controversial detainment of Miami Dolphins star Tariq Hill. Learning Officer Danny Torres has a history of multiple prior suspensions on his record, with six suspensions dating back to 1996. While some suspensions were for short durations, one lasted 20 days. Torres has also faced several investigations regarding his use of force.
The National Police Association notes that it is not uncommon for officers with lengthy tenures to have disciplinary actions on their records. In fact, the association suggests that almost every police officer with over five years of experience likely has some form of policy violation documented.
