Colina should be fired

Miami PD may have intentionally hid details of the accident.

Internal Affairs seemingly hid or ignored evidence that a traffic-enforcement operation was going on that day; and that Internal Affairs misreported crucial statements from Gonzalez, who broke her pelvis and left femur, but survived the crash

After the crash, MPD stated that it "does not have knowledge or information of any Miami Police officer or any other agency in pursuit of the said motorcycle, or any other motorcycle, in the area at the time of the crash."
The operation was posted on the Herald and the miami pd Social Media

MPD's Traffic Homicide Unit conveniently claimed it was "impossible" for a cop to be driving that fast without also crashing into the retaining wall.

At last night's meeting, board member Jason E. Bloch — a former judge — was astounded Miami PD could so blatantly misconstrue Gonzalez's statements.

"We have a report that seems to mischaracterize a statement by a witness," Bloch said. He later alleged Internal Affairs' reports contained an "outright misrepresentation" of Gonzalez's statements. He called it a "very serious violation" of policy and convinced the panel to open a separate investigation into Internal Affairs' conduct.

Miami PD's internal investigators also stated there was no paperwork or operational plan showing the department was conducting traffic-enforcement operations on the Rickenbacker that day. But the CIP later obtained information showing MPD's “DUI/Saturation Operational Plan" for May 26 through 28. MPD held its roll calls for that operation on the Rickenbacker Causeway beginning at 12 noon and ending at 9 p.m. those days.

Neither Internal Affairs nor the Traffic Homicide Unit interviewed any of the cops potentially involved or any of the fellow Dade County Riderz who may have witnessed the incident.
