Fake News won't cover it fairly, though.
he was refusing to get out of the car.
Nope, watched the entire clip, cop should have been fired, Army officer did everything right. Even the young police officer new his partner was wrong.
Good, that didn’t take long. We are so lucky for cameras and video. Without them, this officer could have been murdered by the bad officer. All law enforcement should have and public be encouraged to film their actions. A little sunshine is good, especially when it outs bad behavior and abuse like this officer showed.
Sure there is another side. The soldier refused a police order to vacate the vehicle and as for his gun being drawn, how can you blame him when it has been open season on cops all across this country for yrs now.
I watched the video and it appears both cops had drawn their weapon. Why was only one fired?
Read the ramblings of all the freepers this morning on another thread about this... All I have to say is history has shown us that 95% of the time initial reports victimized the black man. But then we heard and seen the real story. Unfortunately by then the damage has already begun...
Freepers on each side want their desired culprit hung out to dry.
Won’t stop the lawsuit.
Department trying to reduce damages?
There, fixed it.

I didn't know we had a black US army. Where's its HQ?
After the New Mexico shooting, I am conflicted. The guy got conflicting orders from the police, and he wasn’t a threat. The police didn’t use deadly force, but had absolutely no obvious reason to detain him.
The more dangerous it becomes for police, the more likely we are going to see this. Not sure this is about race, but it will be made so. I would have given anyone, in service to their country, a chance to slowly unbuckle the seat belt to get out.
That fat Mexican cop richly deserves a taste of his own medicine.
Live not more than 12 miles from where that incident occurred. In fact, a speeding ticket given to me by that very same Officer. And while I thank the officer for serving in law enforcement, he was a complete d*ck giving me my ticket....in the Dairy Queen parking lot right across the road from that same gas station.
I’m glad they fired the guy. This looked like pulling a guy over for “driving while black”. They did not appear to have probable cause to stop him in the first place. At some point when the cops saw the guy the fat one probably said “let’s pull him over for not having a plate”. The other guy probably said “look, he’s got a temporary one”, but the asshole probably said “that’s not clear enough for me!”. He will regret pulling over an army officer when he had no cause.
FFS, I just watched the video and all the Lt. had to do was get out of the freaking car per LE instructions. He was lippy and argumentative instead. I don’t blame the cops for their actions.
Glad I live on an island where all (8) of the police officers know me.
We have now reached the point where minorities feel they’re no longer obligated to follow the lawful instructions of police officers. No only is there no societal pressure to obey police officers, but instead, there’s societal pressure to NOT obey police officers.
The fabric that holds our society together is fraying and before not too long, chaos will envelope the country.
Like I said in another thread 95% of cops are stupid as rocks.
This is a case of stupid meets stupider.
When I wore the green among civilians I was on my best behavior as a representative of my service.
Ahole award to army guy.
Assault with a weapon on uniformed members of the US military is TREASON.
King of Stupid award to cop guy.
Stupid+Stupid=Stupid
Cops were wrong.....goons
NBC does mention the fat cop was Hispanic
They pulled him over guns drawn for
Tinted windows and a not visible tag
He had a dealer tag....
Man wtf were they thinking...it might help if we saw the first part of the video....it’s not beyond possible the black guy said something (ive done that when young) to set them off.
Anyhow....I don’t like the politics ...I know cops have abused whites and I know the race stats on cops shooting folks
But if we sticks to just what we see here
These cops look bad....
There is a link here to the entire 22:07 minute video.Note that at the end Gutierrez tells Lt Nazario that if Nazario is willing to forget the whole thing, they won’t charge him.
I am surprised the cops didn’t shoot Lt Nazario’s dog.
