\n A Florida police officer who was suspended for punching an unarmed man outside a hotel has been cleared of wrongdoing by prosecutors and internal affairs investigators.<\/p>\n

Miami Beach Officer Adriel Dominguez \u2013 who was caught on body-cam footage cold-cocking Lowell Poitier Jr. at a restaurant outside the Pelican Hotel in December 2018 \u2013 is back on the force following a review by Miami-Dade state prosecutors who found he used the proper amount of force after being threatened by the man, the Miami Herald reports.<\/p>\n

In a memo that cleared Dominguez in October, prosecutors said the cop could\u2019ve reasonably believed Poitier was \u201cabout to hit him\u201d as the man made an aggressive gesture after seemingly picking up something from a nearby table.<\/p>\n

The footage then shows Poitier app<\/a>roaching Dominguez and saying, \u201cWhat? What?\u201d in the cop\u2019s face, prompting the officer to respond with a brutal right-hand, sending Poitier to the ground instantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch yourself, bud,\u201d someone on the footage said just before the one-punch knockout.<\/p>\n

Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Clements said policing \u201cdoesn\u2019t always look good,\u201d but said Dominguez\u2019s response fell within department guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe this is one of those cases,\u201d Clements told the Herald Tuesday. \u201c[Poitier] was in what the office perceived to be a fighting stance. In that case the officer reverted back to his training. It was a distractionary blow.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Dominguez was cleared in the case, two other officers who shared video of the punch have been disciplined, including Miami Beach Officer Alfredo Garcia, who got a written warning in July for \u201cproducing and distributing an unauthorized version\u201d of recordings from his body-worn camera, the Herald reports.<\/p>\n

Garcia used his cellphone to record the footage and then posted it onto social media<\/a>, according to the news<\/a>paper.<\/p>\n

The other officer, Frederick Dominguez, who is not related to Adriel Dominguez, has been notified of a 10-hour suspension for releasing a copy of Garcia\u2019s recording to attorney Michael Pizzi. The cop had asked Pizzi to \u201cforward it to the proper authorities\u201d as he sought whistleblower protection, the newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

Pizzi, meanwhile, denounced prosecutors for failing to file charges against Adriel Dominguez as his own client continues to fight his suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a disgrace,\u201d Pizzi told the newspaper. \u201cBased on the way this was handled, it\u2019s open season on innocent people. It\u2019s outrageous.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
