Judge Mindy Glazer Defends Victim of Police Brutality

#mindyglazer #miamipolice Fred Kerley faces charges of battery on a police officer, corrections officer or firefighter, resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct.

He appeared before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy S. Glazer on Friday afternoon.

“Was there any responsibility on behalf of the police for the way they treated him?” said Glazer. “Hopefully there’s video and bodycam that will show what happened.”

The judge appeared the take a shot at Miami Beach Police.

“This could have been handled a different way, and I don’t know if the officers in Miami Beach are busy handling a lot of complicated crime scenes,” she said.

Miami Beach Fraternal Order of Police President Bobby Hernandez cracked back.

In a statement, Hernandez wrote:

“I am very disappointed that Judge Mindy Glazer did not look at our officer’s body-worn cameras before she acted more like a defense attorney at the bond hearing than an unbiased judge.”

During his first appearance on Friday afternoon, Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer didn’t find probable cause for a charge of disorderly conduct/breach of the peace and he was allowed to be released from jail on his own recognizance.
