In May 2020, Officer Steven Pohorence was charged with first-degree misdemeanor battery after shoving a kneeling protester during a demonstration following George Floyd’s death. Pohorence had been reviewed by the department’s internal affairs unit for using force 79 times in under four years. He was suspended after the shoving incident and placed on administrative leave without pay. ([miamiherald.com](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article250489571.html?utm_source=openai))
