Officer accused of force in stop of Black U.S. Army officer fired

The town of Windsor said in a statement that it joined calls from election officials, including Gov. Ralph Northam, in requesting an investigation by Virginia State Police into the December 2020 encounter in which two Windsor officers were accused of drawing their guns, pointing them at U.S. Army second lieutenant Caron Nazario and using a slang term to suggest he was facing execution.

The two sides in the case dispute what happened, but Crocker wrote in a report that he believed Nazario was "eluding police" and he considered it a "high-risk traffic stop." Attorney Jonathan Arthur told The Associated Press that Nazario wasn't trying to elude the officer, but was trying to stop in a well-lit area.

Officials added that departmentwide requirements for additional training were also implemented beginning in January. Northam called the December 2020 encounter "disturbing" in a tweet Sunday, adding that he directed State Police to review what happened.

What the hell is wrong with the USA?

Every officer at that scene should have been fired, and that one officer should be in jail

Simply firing him is not enough. He should also be charged with assault. Article doesn't say if Crocker was reprimanded in any way. He also pulled his gun and both of them tried to threatened the victim to keep him quiet about what happened.

It was the black police man who sprayed him in the face why nobody mention that!

Bad on the officers just rude,but notice how he didnt resist and he didnt get shot!!!! Imagine that but most cant seem to get that through their heads then cry racism

He should start practicing for his next job.... 'Would you like fries with that ma'am?'

You couldn't find a frame with the fired cop?

But only after video was shared. The police department would not of acted unless forced, and the other officer stood by. All police are the same.

And hopefully will be charged

Proper thing!

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Next time someone is probably going to die because no one learned to treat others humanely and with respect. Don’t be a Police Officer if you can’t handle the pressure! Lives are at stake! All lives matter, EVEN BLACK LIVES!!!

It’s a start. Folks like that need to be aggressively prosecuted, to set an example. And the vetting process needs to be re-oriented, to screen these fuckers out.

Sad sad event.

What’s wrong with cops . The power go’s right to their heads . Treat people with respect and kindness and deescalate

You never see that ever happen in Canada. The bad actors are virtually always coddled, and it takes years for them to be fired, if ever.

Do Not let yourself be fooled! The ONLY reason that officer is being held accountable is U.S. Can politics. RCMP and VANPD do this shit all day and all night every day of the week.

Cop needs to be more than just fired. He needs to be in anger mgmt and be sent to school for racist pigs; offer a public & heartfelt apology to Lt. Nazario; and donate minimum two-years’ salary to BlackLivesMatter

Cops are idiots.. Beavis and butthead could be better cops

Good!!! Stupid fools l, need to learn customer service. You work for the citizens not terrorize the citizens. Instead making peace these officers creating wars

Will be doing this now!

Good!!!

Wonderful! Let all others get the lesson. We’re not living in the jungle.

Why just fired? By law he should be imprisoned for racism towards the black population.

What were those cops thinking

Fantastic👍news.....the fella is a disgrace
