A police officer in Virginia has been fired after pointing a gun at, and pepper spraying, a black US army lieutenant during a traffic stop.
Army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario is wearing his uniform in bodycam footage of the incident, filmed in December.

Well gee golly some geniuses have realized that some cops, like 95% (being generous) of homo sapiens, are STUPID.
We better get rid of police like all the race-baiting leftwing lowlifes want so we won’t have any dangerous stupid people with badges and guns picking on poor innocent folks what ain’t done nothing and shouldn’t be told what to do by filthy fascists with badges and guns.
The hell you say sir
I saw more footage.....these cops disrespected him as a soldier
What are u ...a specialist?
How stupid.....good firing of this clown
In that category are: spktyr,sockmonkey,kartographer,rarestia
When did you join BLM?
Get a load of this guy! You say one thing about a bad cop’s actions, and suddenly you’re a leftwing nutcase.
Perhaps the water is a bit tainted in your part of central Virginia, but where I come from, you don’t publicly shame people for having an opinion. Go pound sand, loser. The cop was wrong. Deal with it.
The LT punked the cops and you feel for it. He did it for the lawsuit.
Just a little whiff of Mao-style public shaming, that’s all. Little bit of cancel-culture mentality..
Cop’s even holding his gun sideways. Too many gangsta movies. Another freeper claimed to have interaction with him and he was an ass with attitude with them.
The Police Officer repeatedly asked the driver to EXIT the vehicle, and suspected that others were in there, but eventually it turned out it was the drivers dog.
However from the Police Officer's perspective the driver was argumentative, did not comply with commands after a few minutes, while they knew someone ore something was also in the vehicle, so I believe they acted responsibly.
Unfortunately the media clips only show the last 20 seconds of the incident.
The entire recordings are available online - that’s what I was viewing. Not the short media clips.
Sorry I’m with the army officer on this one
Did you see he (the LT. ) turned his own camera on before the cops got his car? He was punking them. WTH? Did you even see all the video(s)?
What’s wrong with filming cops?
They film us
He turned on the camera THEN he failed to follow police commands. It was a $etup.
That is now lawyer-recommended procedure for all people encountering cops. Several abuses where police bodycameras ‘happened’ to ‘malfunction’ were proven as a result of cameras rolling.
I have a dashcam rolling at all times in my car for liability reasons, and I have a helmet camera for my motorcycle as well. This is *normal* in this day and age.
Case in point: https://jalopnik.com/the-dallas-cop-who-arrested-a-biker-with-a-helmet-cam-h-5946658
Cop pulls over a law abiding biker without probable cause, attempts to seize property without warrant or probable cause, makes up a bullshit charge to get the property and arrests the biker, assaulting him in the process and slamming the cruiser door on his leg.
Mysteriously, the cruiser’s dash cam went “missing”. And the deputy’s body cam “malfunctioned.”
Unfortunately for the asshat deputy, the biker’s camera was recording and he got a good lawyer so the deputy couldn’t destroy/’lose’ the camera or delete the evidence of his perfidy.
HE ( LT ) WAS PROVOKING A CONFRONTATION. A CHILD CAN SEE THAT.
The times we live in now there are plenty of people on each end of the political spectrum more than willing to punish those who are not 100% percent match of their personal politic belief. History shows us that many have been mocked, harassed, beaten, persecuted, jailed and murdered for failure to adhere the dogma of the far Left as well as the Right. Let those with out sin cast the first stone, amazing how many people these days believe that they met that standard. as for me see my profile.
Conformity to the will of others is death to our true selves.
I also figure some of those on FR who resort to accusatory statements, and pejoratives are just senile old goobers.
