FLORIDA — A Miami Police captain who claimed he was black at a city commission meeting has been suspended with pay.
Capt. Javier Ortiz was suspended days after he made controversial remarks at a city commission meeting.
“As far as Captain [Dana] Carr, she loves to call me a Latin male. I’m a black male. Yes, I am, and I am not Hispanic. I was born in this country,” Ortiz said.
“That’s how I feel.” “I learned there’s people in my family that are mixed and black.”
“If you have one drop of black in you, you’re black.”
