If he had reached for his seat belt he’d be dead！hahahahhaha
Officer Gutierrez said, 'you're fix'n to ride the lightning, SON.' We need to include what this means as a basis of his racist motives. ****Racial Epithets: ¹see phrase used in racial movie, The Green Mile, ² SON like 'boy' when used racially by white man to degrade black men
Protect and to serve? I don't think so.
I think he was wrong in what he did. I mean the driver is a military man. He deserves some respect. Give me a break.
Watch the video - he didn't follow directions; he set up his phone to record rather than putting his hands out the window; he feigned ignorance in response to lawful commands. This was a setup, through and through. He embarrassed the uniform.
I can't help but wonder how many other abusive stops like this have happened in the past? How many people has he intimadated?
Something wrong with these officers seat belt on both hands out how he get out to follow the police command
That was totally disgusting. Those two Qanon members should be prosecuted.
Just curious, when we have a problem with people that are in a mental crisis,why can't we shoot a net over them instead of shooting them! Just asking!
Looks very familiar TwoDistantStrangers
TAKE HIS PENSION.
Privilege is not what you receive from this society, it is what you don’t have to deal with in this society.
Another lawsuit with the potential for a large civil settlement to the Army Officer. When will there be justice in the criminal court system?
No wonder people feel more afraid of police officers than feel safe when they approach you.... definitely no need for the yelling, aggressive attitude at all, total mistreatment of a person. What is the police academy teaching these guys
mf pigs
Those white supremscist were out for blood. It doesn’t take an expert on human behavior to take one look in their eyes and see the intent to kill. They we’re getting ready to execute him. One wrong move and he’s dead. It’s game of flinch and it’s over.
purplesgem Do American cops get ANY training at all? Or are they just given guns and sent out on the streets?
Can't say I am surprised. Think of all the atrocities visited on people of color before we had this technology to show it to the world!
Fired means nothing when you can go to the next city and get hired. they need to be fired permanently from policing. not even flashlight cop.
To preface: this is a gross abuse of power; should be punished to the full extent. However, 'ride the lightning' is not a reference to an electric chair. It's a ubiquitous term in military slang for being tased. The cops a vet & victims a SM; little doubt this is the meaning.
wtf？
Remember he’s only been fired from this Police Department. He may have already been hired by an adjacent city. Police reform should make it incredibly hard for officers to get rehired without more training and oversight .
What in tarnation! What backwoods hillbilly banjo playing town is this?
sorry but it is a known fact that three are issues between k ppl and LX folks. Add a gun and pepper spray to the mix - not a good thing.
What is that nigga Twitter name we killing him
Here are 2 policemen. One Caucasian and the other Hispanic. The devil does not discriminate. He will use anyone that allows him into their heart. FallenWorld JesusIsLord ThyKingdomCome ChooseLight
Drug testing. All police officers. I guarantee stimulants (cocaine, steroids, etc.) are part of this issue nationwide. If there's nothing to hide, why not take tests regularly? An Olympic athlete has to take surprise tests every month. Why not cops?
It is equally important that the ICC must indict dictator Museveni of Uganda for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity, human rights violations in neighboring countries and at home. Victims seeks justice countability.margaretruth44
nigga
Disgusting.
What in the absolute fuck is this?!?!! I am so sick of this!!! blm getridofracism raiseabetterfuture
The same people saying “shut and comply” got bent out of shape over wearing a mask 😂🤣 yall racist bootlicking mf must get paid extra to support these racist ass cops
Let's start with no legal justification to pull him over ! They seen the temp tag in the back window. And the tint is factory on all windows except dr and pass side front windows.
Thank you for consistent courage in putting the spotlight on injustice HumanRightsViolations and an egregious crime against one who serves UnitedStates
There are 2 America’s one for black people and one for whites... This is why we match! Kneel! and peacefully protest. We are not storming the capital or killing police(white people do). All we want is justice and peace....
Cops should not have any control over guns. EndGunControl EndGunViolence EndPoliceBrutality GunControlNever
The party of law and order, Republicans Trump.
Make sure you throw the color of the perp in there. That's the most important thing of all.
Love how he's holding that tazer. Love to see him eat his own brass from a pistol. Idiot
Cops always say they draw their weapons when they’re scared. This pig looks more jolly than Santa Clause on Christmas Eve.
Hate crime
Hit ‘me in the officer’s pockets. Why do our tax dollars have to bail officers out of their violations and lawsuits...?
The problem is police in the USA aren’t trained properly:
Oh, look, Walrus Face is holding it sideways. It means he's serious.
Media makes it worse than it seems. The driver should’ve pulled over and followed directions, plain and simple, end of story. What part don’t you understand 🤷🏻♀️
And being disgusting racists!
Where was just the minimum respect for man in military uniform.? Both in uniform it's no way race didn't play a part in this...
This really pissed me off.
VA Cops don’t extend professional courtesy anymore? If an army uniform does not represent anything to these cops, what does?
Welcome to the jungle.
If an active duty Lieutenant (with video evidence of the crime) can't get justice.... We are all in trouble.
SAW The entire footage, and the cops are 100% right in what they did... This guy Caron is one big dummy. He should have been in jail that night for his actions. He got off lucky, and he's got the nerve to sue the cops? GTFO!
Murdering minorities in the United States of America: Is a continuation of the warped 'white man's burden' belief. Please 'read' the article before responding :)
Lol what an absurd lawsuit.
ALL COPS ARE BITCHES
So sad ....
Hey copper, how does feel to not have a job? Trying to be white!!!!, I bet your parents deep down were wetbacks too, you damn fool.....🤣😂
And I say unto you you dudes “ a black man has no right a white man is bound to respect”. I need to learn something new 😂
The fact is people of color are scared to death of being pulled over by cops on a dark road. The reason is our history. Nazario may have saved his life by driving to a well lit area. What those two violent, low IQ cops, did after the stop proves they weren’t to be trusted
Horrifying video. Did police ever explain why they stopped Lt. Nazario?
They should look a little more about who they recruit for the police, seriously...
Stop these cops before someone else gets killed. For no good reason. Sue the bastard! 😡
TrottoirRadio No need to add 'black',he is just an American army officer
After 5 months and negative publicity Lol 😂 America wants to dictate to the world how human rights are extremely utterly important and should be upheld lol 😂 Yah , no!!! Take your circus back home, work on your act and come back, don’t make us wait 400 years !! 🤣
It's difficult to respect officers who disrespect citizens and then complain about 'making their job difficult'.
'terminated from his employment' so he'll move and be rehired at another PD. what an inconvenience.
He should absolutely be arrested. He assaulted and threatened to kill an innocent person. That is a crime.
PM me if you’re interested in earning $105 by online trading daily, PM me if you have a phone or PC let’s go ✅✅✅
On the one hand, why do they have their guns drawn? How is he supposed to get out of the car and still show his hands? On the other, he is clearly uncooperative. I thought the first thing they teach you in the military is how to follow orders. You don't ask questions.
What if our orecastratators only had to force one controversial event a month and all the news venues drop investigations they were on to cover it?!
I’m sick of this harassment shit! F-ck white supremacy!
The two racists and neo Nazi police must to be FIRED off the police are shame. The CRIMINALS WITH GUNS AND UNIFORMS are the terror of the people and cityzens in the cities. CERO IMPUNITY CERO INMUNITY TO POLICE ABUSER'S.
This is criminal, abuse of power, cowards! They don’t deserve to wear a badge!
They fired him today!!!😂😂😂
Watched the whole video. The Army LT set this in motion by not listening to the officers. Car stops and going to domestic incidents are two of most dangerous jobs an officer responds to.
My old dad says we need to de-militarize the police. That doesn’t mean not hiring vets or not carrying guns. But only since the LA bank jo have we decided police need more arms than civilian criminals do. And since we sell military overstock to the PD now we have police in tanks!
Buh buh buh, ThESe aRe da BaD apPlEs
These officers were out of line.
Is that assh*Le holding his gun sideways?
New: Windsor Police officer Joe Gutierrez, who pepper-sprayed Lt. Nazario, was 'terminated from his employment' following an investigation, the Town of Windsor said.
More bad apples huh? So please enlighten me why do they still have their jobs? Oh thats right because they work at the bad apple factory. DefundThePolice
Let me tell ya...get over this crap. You pansies need to understand that if you Break the law...You pay the consequences. The US is so soft and weak. Russia & China will be taking over soon. Woke, weak Americans need to grow a backbone. Life ain’t fair, so grow a pair
These bastar*s ASSAULTED him.
You about to lose your job
Messed up world
Behind the Lutenient 100%!
Sue the this out of 'em! I'm so tired of the PoliceBrutality PoliceReformNow!
Police will go as far as the society will let them
God, I hope these 2 brutes get fired and sued. Never to work in a police department anywhere! That was so wrong it made me sick. I don’t blame the young man for being afraid of getting out. Once they get out their as good as dead and he knew that , of course.
Serving their country won't protect black men from being treated like second class citizens
DrNathanNunn Imagine what they do when they aren't being filmed
Interesting that the same people shouting about how disrespectful it is to our troops to kneel during the national anthem are defending these cops.
Yes, Virginia, even the Black man has constitutional rights.
Republican hypocrisy issues: police lives matter? Support our troops? Processing... police lives matter if the skin color under the military uniform is a color other white.
Had he been white he would not have been pulled over.
This is a NORMALIZED CONDUCT by police in our community on a day by day basis. Y'all are outraged because he's in MILITARY uniform.
life in prison for those pigs !
Dude fuck 12.
Race baiting npr at it again
If you are white and not a minority, have you EVER been treated like that by police? What would you have done? I applaud this officer. I hope that bully cop gets what he deserves.
Please put me on the jury, please, please, please 🙋🏻♀️.... I promise deliberations should only take a minute
Lt. Caron Nazario's: “I’m honestly afraid to get out.” Officer Gutierrez: “Yeah, you should be!” What kind of 'To Serve And Protect' example is that?
musicangels1982 One bad cop at a time. They have to go!
Blk ppl have been saying forever we are targeted & treated like shit by the police Think about it - if theyre willing to treat an active army LT like this, imagine regular blks without those credentials The stop was unlawful as soon as they seem his temp tags - “jUsT cOmPlY” 🙄
What is with these cops and these loose grips?!!
Total BS!
Spoiler alert... Lieutenant gets a million dollars from the city and cop gets fired (and re-hired somewhere else)
A routine traffic stop that was not even valid! Uncouth and disrespectful! They are not fit to be police officers!
The messed with the wrong one.
they deserve to be fired
All this for a traffic stop? The officer was ready to shoot an innocent Black man over a stupid little thing. Remember Philando Castile? Shot in front of his toddler daughter and gf...over a traffic stop too. Smh.
You damn betcha!
What were they thinking? Don’t they know what they did was illegal? They have no excuse for their stupidity and should not be in any kind of law enforcement.
Cops being assholes? No freakin' way.
And the officers names are?
That 2nd cup on the scene, the especially loud and aggressive one, should be fired on the fucking spot. His badge should be melted down never to be returned.
I hope he Scrooge McDucks for the rest of his life after he wins.
One question, are those Officers still employed?
He’s going to get a nice check from whatever podunk town these cops work for.
So... almost every gun safety video I have seen says to not hold a gun like that. Thoughts?
This is the result of a generation of ‘warrior’ police who think they’re soldiers in a combat zone and not civil servants.
Sue them, their department, the city and the state. Ensure they lose their post certification. Take it all!
Support the Troops brahs
Good...
gOOD for him! I hope he takes them to the cleaners!
It’s too bad hel lose the civil suit
I wonder whether someone from the dealership called the cops with a tip that they could have some fun with this man driving his new car home.
Yup. Again.
This video is a textbook example of the: MAGA / white supremists / Neo-Nazi’s who have purposely infiltrated law enforcement /& DoD, to KILL / intimidate / harass black/brown ppl regardless of their socio-economic, political, religious, or military affiliation. 😡. BLM
When will tax payers revolt? Fire and hire the correct people to keep everyone safe
Why do they still have their jobs.
I just read a brilliant suggestion that these types of settlements get paid out of police retirement funds - THAT might actually affect behavior change and encourage getting the bad cops off the job. These particular two cops have got to go!
The Lt.s base Commander has a right to place this town off limits to all military personnel. Until these rascist cops are fired , all military personal should boycott Windsors businesses. Also look at the cops records or complaints Bet you will find dirt on these dirty cops.
This PSA should help Mr Nazario in the future:
