Javier Ortiz, Pro-Trump Police Officer Who Mocked Libtards, Gets Fired by 'Corrupt' Miami Police Chief

Miami Police Capt. Javier Ortiz was an 18-year veteran of the force.

The department confirmed Ortiz was terminated on Tuesday.

Ortiz's termination letter, which can be viewed [here], accuses him of improperly approving overtime for officers under his command.

A panel initially recommended he be fired over the issue but another board later exonerated him.

Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales says he had the final say Tuesday.

"It was part of the totality of the evidence that I looked at," Morales said. "He lacks good moral character."

[...] Griska Mena is Ortiz's attorney.

She said the veteran cop's firing is shocking and unwarranted.

"Those investigations and those allegations were not sustained," said Mena. "As to the allegations here, he was following a directive from the chief of police at that time."

Local 10 News' Christian De La Rosa asked Mena what she believes the motive behind the firing was, if there was, as she says, no evidence against Ortiz.

"There are political motivations," she replied, while stressing that Ortiz will appeal the termination.

[...] "Today's decision made by Chief Morales shows complete disregard for the decision and opinions of the five staff members who voted to exonerate my client based on evidence," [Ortiz' attorney said]. "These staff members recommended the discipline he rescinded. It shocks the conscious that 5 staff members exonerated him and recommended the discipline to be rescinded, but today he gets fired."

"The Chief's decision and his explanation can only be attributed to political pressures and refusing to acknowledge that Javier Ortiz did nothing wrong."
