An Orlando police officer is under internal investigation and has been reassigned after a YouTube video surfaced showing the officer berating a man during a disturbance call.

Police said the internal investigation is ongoing. Department policy states employees should be “courteous” toward the public while avoiding “harsh” and “profane” language.

“They shall always remain calm regardless of the provocation to do otherwise,” the policy states.

The video was posted more than a month ago by Ryan Romasco but gained traction over the weekend and now has nearly 30,000 views.

It happened Jan. 3 in the parking lot of 4750 Millenia Plaza Way, according to audio heard in the video by the officer.

Romasco said in a subsequent interview that he was working construction with his dad when they got into an argument. The cops were called. Romasco said he started recording the officer with his phone when the incident began to get heated.

The initial interaction between he and Officer Jose Sanchez was not caught on camera and Romasco said his phone’s memory was full, so it stopped recording before the incident ended. Police did not arrest Romasco or his father.

“They were just trying to punk me out,” said Romasco, who lived in West Palm Beach at the time but recently moved to Arkansas. “They were trying to instigate me.”

Sanchez keeps telling Romasco to “jump.” Romasco said he felt like Sanchez was trying to provoke him.

“I ain’t doing nothing,” Romasco says. Both the officer and Romasco are aggravated about the situation, exchanging multiple curse words at each other throughout the fourminute video.

Sanchez, who has been with the department since 2007, was transferred from patrol to the division at Orlando International Airport.

“We take all complaints of officer misconduct very seriously and I can assure you this interaction will be thoroughly investigated,” an Orlando police spokeswoman said in a statement.

Chief John Mina didn’t respond to an e-mail requesting comment.
