The woman who dared to publish online a video showing a Miami police officer putting a handcuffed young man in the back of a cruiser and then jumping on top of him has been attacked by the president of a police union.

Javier Ortiz, who serves as President for the Miami Order of the Fraternal Police, has lashed out at video poster Marilyn Smith, alleging she 'has photographs of her with young men armed with handguns.'

'It seems that no one cares to address this,' he wrote in a lengthy statement that appeared on his Facebook page, which included what he alleged were Smith's Facebook photos.

One of the alleged snaps shows a woman with a man holding a gun, along with the caption 'Every Thug Needs A Lady.'

Speaking out: Javier Ortiz, who serves as President for the Miami Order of the Fraternal Police, has criticized the video's poster, Marilyn Smith, alleging she 'has photographs of her with young men armed with handguns'

An internal affairs investigation was underway Friday after the 47-second video emerged.

The video begins with officers standing around a car. A black officer escorts a handcuffed young black man into the back of the patrol car.

At the 37-second mark of the video, the officer appears to leap on top of the man from the back passenger door.

Someone appears to swat at the cellphone before the woman taking the video says, 'Don't touch my phone, baby, move.' The video then ends.

The incident caught the attention of Ortiz, who posted the video on his Facebook page.

As reported by the Miami New Times, Ortiz said in a statement: 'As everyone is aware, social media has placed a very negative tone on law enforcement nationwide. On August 13th, there was a video that was posted in social media that shows an encounter with Miami Police Officers. While the video may seem concerning to some, the FOP is confident that when everything is analyzed with the totality of the circumstance, it will be concluded that the police officer was doing what he is supposed to be doing: Protecting our Community.

'What is extremely concerning is that the poster of this video (aka Facebook Marilyn Smith) has photographs of her with young men armed with handguns. It seems that no one cares to address this. Social media has focused so much on #blacklifematters [sic] /alllifematters campaigns, yet nobody targets the root of the problem our community faces today.

'If the police officer has done something not within policy, it must be corrected. With that said, there is a much more serious message by this video poster. Our community has accepted behavior that motivates violence in our younger generation. It's time for the community to take a stand against this reckless behavior and stop the violence. As the saying goes: It takes a village to raise a child. Guns don't belong in the hands of children. It is the responsibility of our stakeholders that live in our community to stop that from occurring in the first place.'

The Miami New Times reported that an attendee of the Ultra Music Festival accused Ortiz in a 2013 lawsuit of beating him over a glowstick.

Shenitria Blocker told The Associated Press that she filmed the incident Thursday afternoon with her cellphone in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood because she heard a commotion.

She said she heard the young man asking the police officer why he was being arrested.

Blocker said Friday: 'The cop told him he didn't have to tell him why he was being arrested, and the officer jumped in the car, got on him and hit the man a couple of times.

Speaking out: Ortiz said 'Social media has focused so much on #blacklifematters [sic] /alllifematters campaigns, yet nobody targets the root of the problem our community faces today'

'After that, another officer came up to me and told me to stop recording, that I can't record.'

She said that the officer slapped at her hand as they talked and that her mother took the phone and hid it.

Blocker said she doesn't have a Facebook account, but her friend Marilyn Smith posted the video. It had about 80,000 views by 11 p.m. Thursday. It later was taken down.

Miami Police Maj. Delrish Moss said in a statement late Thursday that the department had viewed the video.

Police have not named the officer involved or the young man who was arrested, but Moss said the officer's gun and badge had been taken away until the investigation is completed.

Police wouldn't provide a specific age for the man who was arrested but said he is not a teen.
