A Miami cop's seen on body cam video striking a woman in the face at the airport, and has been relieved of duty.
A Miami-Dade County police officer is on video violently striking a woman in the face at the airport as she approached him during an argument ... he's claiming self-defense, but the brass ain't buyin' it.
That customer -- the woman seen in the video -- was allegedly late to board her flight to Chicago so she was refused boarding and told to go to the rebooking counter. Cops say she became upset when she was told she'd have to wait until the next day and began threatening the AA employee, who called police.
In the short clip ... you see the woman in a verbal argument with the officer, which quickly escalates as she walks toward him and asks,"What you gonna do?"
