According to Newsone, Miami city commissioners and community leaders are calling for the dismissal of a police chief Miguel A. Exposito after seven African-American men were shot and killed by his officers within eight months.
All the men killed were shot by Hispanic officers; prompting concerns by community leaders that the shootings are racially charged.
City Commissioner Richard P. Dunn II said
“These shootings have us sitting on a time bomb, Everyone wonders: When is the next one going to happen? And the fact the chief is still here just makes Miami look like a banana republic.”
The families of the seven shooting victims will speak at a City Commission meeting on Thursday.
