Army Lt. Caron Nazario was dressed in uniform when he was pulled over by two Virginia police officers in December. The encounter escalated when the officers told him to get out of the car. When Nazario told them he was afraid to get out of the car, they pepper-sprayed him multiple times.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Shocking Footage Shows Army Lt. Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop | NBC Nightly News
The way black people are treated in America is disgusting I never want to go there ever!!!
Welcome to USA
Maybe he should have gotten out of the car?
To make enough pulled pork BBQ sandwiches to feed an army, some pigs gotta die.
Cops lieing big time coward 😤 😔 😒.
THE DEGREE OF THE POLE’S SHIFT IS IN DIRECT RELATIONSHIP TO HOW MUCH THE CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGES, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. WAKE UP PEOPLE. NOW!
According to this video, the cops just bailed out of their cars, guns drawn, yelling obscenities from the get-go. Surely, there was absolutely no escalation, and Lt. Nimrod was being completely compliant the entire time. Yeah, OK.
Those cops are ready to go to war, send them to the Middle East, one way ticket .
USA is such a violent country. Scary. Like the middle ages. No humanity for all people. Only for rich white ones.
UNBELIEVABLE! He needs to lose his job and NEVER be able to be employed in a law enforcement position again!
God take control of this terrible terrible situation that keeps occurring with human beings…
We ALL bleed the same, we are all Gods children 🙏🏽👱🏻♀️
God Bless this young man and his service🙏🏽👱🏻♀️♥️🌹
Before i used to think, why don’t they just comply but now that i know we have rights, its painful to see how they treat active duty members also.
This is bad, but I wonder how the military officer would have reacted if while he was deployed in some far away land doing his duty for our country, he would have reacted if he encountered someone that caught his attention by acting suspiciously and not following his orders?
They don’t even give a darn about their own soldiers. One reason right there why dudes like him Don’t need to be in that service.
You guys are so sensationalistic “ride the lightning” means getting tased.
Now hiring: a REAL policeman to replace the thug that just got fired for impersonating a real policeman
He caused his own problems. He ignored the police, he got what was coming to him. No plates, wearing army clothes, tinted windows in a state where they’re not permitted. I can’t stop laughing….lol. Is this Polk county?,,lol. Sheriff Judd would also be laughing. The police were doing their job, find another story NBC,,,this is trash news to cause tension. .
poor cops …
r u kidding? The only way for him to stay alive is to find a light area with cameras, smart guy!
Exactly as in the George Floyd incident, here too things are strongly deteriorating the moment the more experienced officer shows up. Here, as in the George Floyd case, the vast majority of violence comes from the senior police officer, and the junior police officer(s) is (are) afraid to confront/try to calm down the senior officer.
And just now, an officer got killed in new Mexico by an ak47 because he didn’t have his weapon drawn
Search YouTube and watch officers sinking a k9 on a white dude or fn up his world with due process
Show me a black killed mowing his neighbor’s lawn with nothing to hide and I’ll show sympathy
Until then your resisting arrest and drove a mile and a half like someone somewhere said that was acceptable
Not pulling over is a felony. Stop supporting criminal behavior
I’m china white and have been shaken down numerous times with my belongings dumped, 6 cops and a k9, etc
Stop with the false narrative and call it as its shown
Oh oh. Forgot to mention the gun the perp had. And this is the military that the black sec def is protecting.
Its sad to see that minorities are just a stroke of luck away from loosing their lives. Its sad. Good job soldier. You’re in my heart today.
Don’t believe the media. This fellow purposely did Not comply with officers, to make a good video, and to make money. If you ever get to see the unabridged video, you will see the officers were Very patient with him, but he had other plans. And NBC, man, they just rolling in the money, just like this guy wants to do soon, hence the attorneys. What is wrong with this country. 🙁 Oh yea, a Corrupt Media. Oh yea, corrupt “citizens”.
“get out of the car now” how is he going to get out with both hands up? as soon as he put one hand down, those cops might say he reaching for a weapon.
Man he should have just gotten out.
You news hacks should show the WHOLE story. How dishonest.
Ride the lightning is slang for taser
This is hard to watch but at the same time I am happy to be existing at a time when the old lino is being rolled back everywhere to reveal all of the creepy crawlies scuttling in all directions, trying to offer up their flakey lame excuses in fear, while exposed to the glare of the public gaze. Thanks to modern surveillance technology and the internet commentary being useful, in these instances, allowing decent people worldwide the revelation that corrupt deviants exist in positions of power and authority everywhere. Also revealing that they all use the same lowlife methods to violate and abuse the vulnerable wherever they can and fool the mainstream into believing the vulnerable are the cause of their own plight. The members of the mainstream can easily fall into this category also, if they put a foot wrong.
This awful truth, of potential vulnerability, is out there for all members of society, like a trap for the uninformed. These traps need to be found, exposed and disabled by working together and FOR each other.
It seems that by honestly seeking out and addressing the crimes of exploitation and abuse committed against all men, women and children we can speed up the evolution of societies and reap the rewards from everyone being allowed to fulfil their own individual potential at a much faster rate.
The more criminal minded parasites and freeloaders pulled out of hiding, the faster the evolution of society and it’s shared rewards creating benefits for all.
It is truly astounding to see the full extent of the bloody minded ratf***ery being revealed around the world every day but it needs to be revealed in order to keep watch so that it will be recognised in the future and not enabled to repeat itself. More support for and less dismissal of brave victims coming forward to reveal their painful experiences of abuse is needed. The long suppressed and ignored information they hold needs to be heard in order to alert others to methods used to entrap and abuse. Complete accountability and transparency, by those in powerful positions of authority over those made powerless by their presence, needs to be implemented AND enforced.
I recall seeing a tv show that a woman should go to the nearest convenience store if asked to pull over by an officer for safety reasons. I’m sure this applies to anyone driving at night. The Lieutenant does this for safety and gets assaulted. The officer not only assaults him but belittles this man serving to protect him and the US. Assumes he’s a specialist or corporal. Tells him thank you for protecting “My country”. Tells him he should be scared. Never tells him while he’s being stopped. And has the nerve to say “this won’t affect my life”. Disgusting .
BLM Black Livestock Massacred
BLM Blue Lives Matter
Only in the USA! On average, US cops shoot dead over 1000 of their own citizens each and every year! In England? Around 10. Russia? 50. Japan? 0. Germany? 5.
And in the USA, over 1000!!! 😂
“We write the reports”.
Add another zero, Caron.
Wow this is just outrageous they can’t pull some one over without having to pull their guns , simple traffic stop becomes something else
One of the correspondents said something so great
As a cop, to do this during the George Floyd trial you have to be ‘extra moron’
NBC failed to tell you that they tried pulling him over 1.5 miles back and the Army Lt. Failed to yield. I hope that Lt. Got demoted to an E-1! What a disgrace!
Most comments here are so out of touch with reality it boggles my mind. It’s amazing that people now defend lawlessness and condemn those who try to uphold the law. Please try to listen to the OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. You are all brainwashed by the mainstream media and don’t even know the whole story! How do ANY of you expect that when when someone fights the police, resists arrest, refuses to cooperate, etc, that anything good will come of that? How about expecting law abiding citizens to, oh I don’t know, OBEY the FKING law? If they did, Problem solved. Grow up and act like a rational person.
You are right!
Most 2nd Lts are dumb but this one is beyond stupid. I’m speaking to you directly Lt. You are a disgrace to this country and to the armed forces. You might have your minute of fame, but you’ll get a dis-honorable discharge out of this. You clearly, had in mind to video and tape these cops, while you willfully refuse to follow their lawful commands in an attempt to file a suit or gain fame. You’re an absolute disgrace. If you want to know the full story and the truth watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgBMnJyOiT0&t=797s
Thank you
The city will settle out of court.
Is it shocking though? Is it even surprising? It’s the new normal.
I like the leading into this is shocking footage shows lieutenant pepper sprayed by police and it is it is very shocking that that lieutenant in the military did not fully comply with those officers and get out of that vehicle immediately and lay down on the ground with his hands on his head very shocking I hope they prosecute him in the military Court cuz that’s what needs to happen
The officers did an excellent job at escalating themselves while the lieutenant was calm the entire time.
Thanks goodness for cameras these days. Or else the police will get away with it again. Absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. Shame on you officers.
Cop on a power trip. The fact that he scoffed at this man being not only in the military but an officer as well is quite pathetic. This police officer needs to serve time incarcerated. I dont believe this officer was aware there was a camera on him. Glad there was. Hopefully these policeman will be dealt with severely. Not all police are like this but the ones that are need to be weeded out. Would help if their body cams were audited so that this sort of unprofessional behavior is identified. Pathetic
⚡⚡The Soilder was disrespectful,
This is a very terrible incident, but it happened back in December, why wasn’t it showed then, and why is the news outlet showing it now. Hopefully not to promote more violence. Once again I will say , im not in agreement at all on how the soldier was treated. Just don’t trust the MSM motive.
You left out the part where they chased this guy down the road.
I hope he gets millions in lawsuits and they lose their jobs.
Why drive to a gas station when you can just pull over?
All blacks should withdraw from US army Now
So, quick question… What if the Base Commander decided that his soldiers where being threatened by a militarized police force that no longer operated as civilians, but instead were combatants and a hostile force per the standard military rules of engagement in this circumstance? He would then have the duty and the authority to “engage” such a “threat” and “neutralize” any and all further acts of aggression towards his soldiers by whatever means deemed necessary to secure that end until further peace could be brokered by his superiors…
The power of the Constitution allows for the engagement of ALL THREATS foreign AND DOMESTIC. It is not outside of the realm to say that they can’t simply take over the police operations and remove the threat until a permanent solution can be found, if the police chief and powers that be don’t get it together…
Oh… And I’m certain the BC is in communication with the city government about this incident to resolve this without further calamity, but… They need to make sure they keep their Barney Feifs in check…
You do not know the laws very well. Also, you need to watch the unabridged version of the video. You will find out that NBC has been lying to all of us, again, for the sake of excitement = viewers = money for NBC
Cop acted like he was on steroids or some kind of drug that produces anger.
Time to move to Africa ✌️
Stupid policemen

God blessed the world with putin and russia..
This deserves a oscar winning award
Wsup fine mama
Thank God Finally this piece of garbage has been Fired 2nd officer must be Shaking in his Boots!! 👍😎
That department and city better get their piggy banks together………. they’ll be paying up the butt.
Arrest them take away their jobs and make them work off the value of their pensions. This could have been a family member who serves his country and lives in Virginia with his family! I say everyone write to the Governor and express outrage!
Disobey police commands and blame the race card… why don’t they ever comply.. comical… he deserved to get maced
Yes. You are correct. Even this year many whites have been maced and forcefully taken out of cars, when they deserved it this year, but that isn’t worth NBC’s time, because the TRUTH doesn’t make NBC MONEY.
Good thing he kept driving to a lit area. Who knows would have happened if he didn’t.
This video happen since December and now the officer is barely getting fired!? Imagine thru the officer’s career how many times he’s done this and getting away with this! Man you serve your own country and comeback to another war zone at home😞
The victim had poor judgment?
What a disrespectful loser.
NBC = RACISTS. keep spreading hate and lies, your irresponsible pos!
I imagine they’ll all lose their jobs. Then I’ll wake up and continue to see the blue bloods on a power trip.
Play stupid games and win stupid prizes
WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO ON NEWSMAXTV, BEFORE JUDGING THE COPS!
Absolute prime example of the worst of worst in LE! Cheers to the Lt for his actions. As a veteran this is sickening behavior! What an image of the US Flag on his arm as he is being assaulted to the ground.
We need Biden to issue executive action now!
Unfortunately we live in a police state. The police down in Jacksonville Beach Florida are ten times worse than this.
That’s right, you shouldn’t have to pull over when they turn on the lights. And when they order you out of the car, you should be allowed to just keep talking instead. The fact is, we don’t even need police. We can just police our self. Right? 😉
The one is fired the other one needs fired
Make BOTH “officers” AND their boss pay that lawsuit!! They are all involved….a good lawyer could make the case…just don’t make tax payers pay for more incompetent cops!!! REFORM…you dumb cops keep proving the need!
Yes scared when a cop says fixing to ride the lightning then licked he’s legs this so disgusting of theses cops
He doesn’t stop when the cop tries to pull him over. That leads to a felony policy stop. They order him out of the vehicle. He keeps repeating what’s going on. Over and over. How is that helping.? The cop is stupid too, several times. Both could have handled this better. It’s legal for a cop to order you out. Get out. Follow commands. Don’t try to win in the street.
Windsor PD dorked up. Unamericans.
Lt was wrong. If you’re driving a vehicle without proper plates (temp plate behind tinted windows) on a dark road, can’t pull over in a reasonable amount of time (waited for a well lit gas station), and then fail to comply with officer’s instructions, you are needlessly putting yourself and the officers in a dangerous situation. You need to see the full length video. The first instruction he failed to comply with was to pull over when police first turned on their flashing lights on the dark road he was traveling on. But it is understandable that the Lt wanted to be in a well lit area so Lt only stopped after reaching the next gas station after driving for 1 min and 40 seconds. At the gas station, the police asked him to step out of the vehicle 20+ times, but Lt didn’t. When the officer attempted to open Lt’s door, he swatted away police officer’s hands. Officer then pepper sprayed the Lt’ in order to make him comply. Since 1977, the US Supreme Court upheld that even for a routine traffic stop, police officers have the power and discretion to order a driver out of the car.
$1000 dollars to anyone who can read the Lt’ temp plates behind the tinted glass.
This is not shocking. Just another white cop on a power trip
He should have thrown a couple of blows or called his buddies for backup…
Blue Falcon Windsor PD
What’s shocking is that of course, NBC did not show the whole video.
Even from this purposely shortened video from Biased NBC, it is obvious the LACK OF COMPLIANCE to a SIMPLE ORDER. When the police ask you to do something, you do it. Don’t be dumb. You do not have to be stupid. You do not have to make the job of peace officers difficult and dangerous. You don’t know, how many times a person refused to step out of the vehicle because they were planning on drawing a gun on an officer; the officer does not know what you are planning, lots of youtube videos to prove it. Just like you, at the end of the day, officers want to go home, Alive. Why not just listen to them? Makes it easy for everyone. Stupid NBC for again and again making something out of nothing, for the sake of MONEY! (MORE VIEWS = MORE MONEY = BAD REPORTING)! The corruption is yours NBC!
They tried to pull him over in a dark place so they could do harm, but once he pulled into a well lit gas station they didn’t know what to do.
READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS: If you pause the video and look at the police report, the date on it is December 5, 2020. What gives? Even the time stamp on the video says December 5, 2020. I am not a conspiracy person but…. ??? NBC NEWS, please explain your error? I thought this happened yesterday? Is this for real?
This is just another example of BAD REPORTING.
Not gonna lie. The Army officer was pretty smart but he still could have followed orders. Drill Sargents will treat you worse than than these two cops. Trust me.
Man why is every comment section so negative. It’s so depressing. It seems people want to live in fear or hate instead of living and respecting one another.
Fat Albert here thinks he’s Dirty Harry, “hey-hey-Hey”.👎
Is this USA a place for the killing brutality for black or Asian unlike China china police not like this.
He should have gotten out of the car, as instructed.
No excuse to treat a soldier in uniform like this. They need to have this stamped on their background check so they can never get a job again as a police officer. The city’s training program needs to be stripped down to the foundation and re-thought and the head of the department needs to be called on the carpet. In the strongest of terms this is not acceptable nor forgivable.
I’m pro police but not for imbeciles with guns. Once they realised it was a soldier they should stop yelling and try to clarify the situation. But the feeling of power and self importance just clouded their brains or it was because the training they received. Then the system is rotten from it’s core.
If he attempted to undo his seatbelt as requested he would have been shot dead.
I encourage anyone interested in the FULL UNEDITED VIDEO to go to NEWSMAX …you can see how the MSM fails once again to tell the truth.
1. The officers were Hispanic/Black notice how they failed to mention that
2. The man in the car failed to put his hands up for over 5 minutes after repeatedly being asked to do some.
3. The man in the car repeatedly shoves the officers hands and refuses to comply
Hmmm I wonder why they didn’t reveal that part? Pushing a narrative? Distracting people from the border crisis and Biden putting kids back in cages.
I bet their not even fired yet. Push for reform. We’ve got up to no good running the show and it’s sad to see it go on for this long.
These illiterate police personnel should not only be dismissed from the force, they should be in prison now.
Thanks for your service means nothing to me Semper finches why we kneel .complying don’t work
