Miami, FL - An officer was suspended after a video showed her sitting in her cruiser while bicyclists beat up a man right in front of her.
Surveillance video showed several bicyclists pummeling a man, breaking his car window, jumping and stomping on his car, and using a bike to punctuate the vicious beatdown in broad daylight.
It all happened as a Miami Police officer sat in her car.
According to the video, a man pulled up to the intersection of Biscayne and 14th streets between the Arsche Center and James L. Knight Concert Hall.
Bicyclists began arguing with a driver who approached the officer and then walked back to his vehicle.
The bicyclists then began kicking, punching, stomping, window breaking and bike hurling while the officer stayed in her cruiser the whole time.
Other officers rushed in, tackling one bicyclist before they all appeared to peddle off.
The officer who sat in her car during the attack was suspended.
