The hashtag nickname quickly grew in popularity on Twitter, and while there were some people supporting the woman identified as 26-year-old Kiara Cervantes, many users were angry at the inappropriate nickname, and then incensed at her proud response to the overnight fame.
She said that she later reported the incident on the advice of her union president but that she 'felt embarrassed in reporting the encounter, being that this individual is high up in management'.
The female officer has since been identified as Kiara Cervantes.
