His name is Danny Torres, who has initially been removed from the road and assigned to administrative service, until some details of the case are clarified. What we have recently discovered is that this is not the first time that Danny has followed this punishment process since there are at least six other known occasions in which he has had to be removed from his task. since he joined the Miami-Dade Police Department, almost 28 years ago.
In addition, four “conduct warning” letters are known, although the last of them was later withdrawn. Still according to USA Today, “specific details of the conduct that led to the previous sanctions are not known,” although his employee profile has almost seven pages of personal history, disclosed on Friday in response to a public records request, which also includes the 32 letters in which he has been praised, with a special mention he received in 2023.

Tyreek Hill was detained by the Police near the Miami Dolphins stadium when he was traveling to play an NFL game.
The fact is that Torres is once again exposed to the public eye, and that is why the Department has been quick to “remove him from the media spotlight.” Despite the fact that in the video we have seen previously the disgruntled player is shown saying: “I want him to leave; to leave, to leave. Not only because of what he did to me but also because he treated me in the same way to my teammates who did nothing, who just stood by the sidewalk.
In the reports made public by USA Today, we can even see the annual amount that the agent charges, just under $123,000 (about 110,000 euros), in addition to the reasons why he has received complaints, read discourtesy, violations of use of the inappropriate force, procedures and conduct inappropriate for an officer. In three of the cases, which occurred between 2014 and 2018, some or all of the allegations were confirmed; being exonerated in the other three complaints.
His last suspension was in June 2019, when he was sidelined for 10 days. He also received a 20-day suspension in 2018, according to personnel records. Torres is also one of the members of the Police Union Board and the South Florida Police Benevolent Association.
