Miami Police Assault TV Reporter Trying to Interview Chief

Miami police officers assaulted a TV reporter who was trying to ask the police chief a simple question.

Was the man they shot and killed last week armed?

Considering police have yet to provide an answer, we already know the answer to that question.

Of course he wasn’t armed. If Travis McNeil had been armed, that would have been the first detail released by police after last Thursday’s officer-involved shooting.

The TV reporter was Glenna Milberg from Local 10, the only TV reporter to have reported on my 2007 arrest – the one that prompted me to launch this blog. She has been a supporter ever since.

So I’m a little more peeved about this than I normally would be. Here is her video report on today’s incident.

Milberg is a hard-nosed reporter who doesn’t back down. Especially now that Miami Police Chief Miguel Exposito has been undergoing intense scrutiny after his officers have killed seven citizens in the 18 months he’s been running the department.

His predecessor, John Timoney, had his own scandals to deal with, but underwent a 22-month period where police didn’t fire a single shot.

Milberg and a cameraman tried to approach Exposito today after an award ceremony. It was the chief’s first public appearance since last week’s shooting. She said they have been trying to contact him all week, but he has ignored them.

As they approached the chief, several officers formed a blockade around him, preventing the cameraman from getting close.

Milberg slipped through the blockade with her microphone and we can hear a loud thud, followed by her voice saying, “that hurt.”

She said an officer elbowed her in the sternum.

Anybody else who would have been done the same in front of a group of officers would have been arrested on the spot.

But when you get away with murder, you can get away with anything.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
