A Florida police sergeant has been relieved of his supervisory
responsibilities and is under investigation after he was filmed grabbing
an officer by her throat, according to officials.

Sunrise police shared body camera video of the Nov. 19 incident with NBC
News, but the footage was muted with faces blurred, except for the
sergeant's.

Police officers were arresting a "verbally and physically resistive"
suspect, accused of a violent felony, when the unidentified sergeant
arrived and became aggressive with him, Sunrise Police Chief Anthony W.
Rosa said in a statement.

The sergeant engaged in a verbal altercation with the suspect sitting
inside a patrol vehicle and “escalated” the encounter, according to the
chief.

The police body camera footage showed the sergeant ducking his head inside
the patrol vehicle to talk to the suspect and holding a can of pepper
spray, though he did not deploy it.

Rosa called the sergeant's behavior “inappropriate and unprofessional” and
said he “unnecessarily elevated the demeanor of the suspect."

A concerned officer ran toward the sergeant and pulled him by the back of
his duty belt, Rosa said.

The video footage shows the sergeant turn around while backpedaling as he
was pulled by the officer. He then momentarily places his hand at the
throat of the officer and pushes her backward, until her back hits a
nearby police vehicle, according to the clip and the statement from the
chief. The sergeant then walks away.

Rosa said the officer who pulled the sergeant was following the
department's policies and procedures that call for intervention when
there’s “imminent fear of engagements escalating unnecessarily.”

The police chief said he immediately relieved the sergeant of his
supervisory responsibilities after hearing about the incident and ordered
an internal affairs investigation that is ongoing.

The sergeant involved has no contact or supervision over subordinate
personnel, Rosa said.

“I am very proud of the officer involved in this incident and believe that
the actions taken were definitive and demonstrative of good leadership
during a tense situation," Rosa said.

He noted that Sunrise officers are expected to "de-escalate emotionally
charged situations" and intervene if an officer appears to lose control or
display inappropriate conduct in interacting with the public.
