In December, two officers stopped U.S. Army Lt. Caron Nazario for not having a rear license plate on his new SUV, according to a police report. Officer Joe Gutierrez, whose termination was announced late Sunday night, pepper-sprayed Nazario. Gutierrez and former partner Daniel Crocker face a $1 million lawsuit, alleging a violation of constitutional rights.

VA Police Officer Fired After U.S. Army Lt. Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop | NBC Nightly News
There’s nothing to investigated they knew that he was in the Latino and black man and he thought they can get away with it they deserve to get sued out of suit and more than just a million and then are also would sue the police force

Justice for a hero
This is why we need to March and Protest for the laws to change. Get together and get people to Sign petitions to get police to be held accountable and charged for the crime they do just like a regular citizen would if they did the same thing.
This is so sad that that officer lost his job because this military trained veteran would not comply why ain’t this military veteran up on military charges for non-compliance with the law for order why did this cop lose his job you guys realize that the gangs are going to take over this country and we’re going to be living in a lawless society where we can do nothing but stay home and defend our families
What’s wild is that this story is barely reported on FOX, OAN, NEWSMAX, etc. Pretty telling. Are their viewers ignorant and racist BECAUSE they watch fox, or are they already and that’s WHY they watch that trash? Really a chicken or the egg thing.
My life doesn’t seem so bad when I see what others go through in great ol’ USA!
Now that’s a chubby little boy that got picked on his whole life 👌
I am serving this country. I am gonna not directly obey police orders. Try that sit on any ARMY base. This butterbar would be UCMJ’d out of service.
You know Joe loved what he did.
What they try to portray about this is that it is one bad apple. No, they are all this way, I have been treated this way about 5 times in my life over a 45 year span and each time I was arrested with the charges dropped. You just didn’t do anything about it back in the day. It never had anything to do with race just class. They are hired by profiling for their ego trip. They are no more than Liquid Pig Dung, married to trash, in cahoots with the courts, and just armed domestic terrorist. The 25 year veterans have destroyed more lives than you can imagine. They are happy to make felony minimum wage workers out of youths for their political party. Police Chiefs and government officials will protect them for their interest until recently, and they will protect the government before the people.
For everyone of your comments, there is a hundred who said that he should have “obeyed.” LOL
America need prayers or deliverance from God.
WWE Vince McMahon “ You ARE FIRED “
I’m happy now because the army guy is still alive and I’m sad that a un armed black man is killed in Minnesota. The USA without police officers is a safer country 100%.
Know I Overstand why they are called PIGS.
Investigation has now taken place and the results were, that both coppers were twats
It’s disgusting to say the least..
However, congratulations to Lt Nazario’s who was cool and grounded throughout the sorry mess of the police. Who unethically must have been feeling more superior than him. And probably due to their colour, might have thought that they’d God given right to disgrace Lt Nazario’s.
The fat bum cop feels so powerful with a badge and gun . Hope he becomes a homeless bum here on …..
I would be in trouble if that grand wizard stopped me acting like he has a murder suspect. What do you see and hear with this cop attitude to a law abiding service member. Whenever they say thank you for your service watch out!
what is the actual flip is wrong with America…
Public outrage is mounting “BECAUSE” here we go with the FALSE NARRATIVE again! This Lieutenant gave the Police EVERY reason to deal,with him they did! Instead setting up his cell camera to make himself look like a victim, he should followed commands and it would have never gotten to that point. He maybe a new martyr in the phony social justice hustle, but when the Army gets a full look at “ALL” the videos and the ‘why’ this happened. His ‘fame’ will come at a price to his career. And, rightfully so. https://youtu.be/VgBMnJyOiT0
Awhh yeah they thought they would win. But no they got fired 🙂 hah
u are white racist person I’m guessing? So the police did nothing wrong?🤡 ok first all if his hands was showing out his window what make him resist? 2 if he would of got out the car they would of knee on his head them 2 officer is weak couldn’t take him down so not his fault 3 if u look closely That skinny officer seen the license plate he just went along with it 4 he has a uniform so like Aleast ask him questions before further action draw the gun on him when his Hands was out the window they seen it too went to vehicle he was in his seatbelt couldn’t get out But how can he get out his car when the seat belt was on🤡 he did the right thing to stick his hand out and have them open his car for him or else they would of think differently he has a gun shot fire”So he stay calm he was scared for his life he know what happened to all color but white he knows if u try to reach for something that anit a gun they will think a whole another level
When high school bullies are given a uniform.
Happy fired day. Also take the 1 million from their pension plans.
Finally send those idiots to Iraq.

I am so happy they got fired. and to those that say “oh well now police officers will be scared to do their job” I say put your big boy pants on and train your police officers to treat people like they are people. not every single person you meet is a threat. and how about the novel idea of treating everyone with the same level of humanity as they afford white people? I’ve seen videos of police officers arresting white men with guns that got treated way better than this. It is going to take an incredible amount of time and effort for minorities to trust the police again but it is the police’s job to “serve and protect”. They need to do everything they can to convince people that this is what they are about. Stop telling us about those “few bad apples” coz a few bad apples will spread their rot!
America………… the richest sh*thole in the world. You’d think that with this much prosperity compared to other placss on this planet that there would be better human decency in the country…. it’s the total opposite. I’m ashamed of America, everyone is watching.
I guess pointing guns at people gives you PTSD.
This is America! I’m sorry lieutenant and I’m also happy you’re a life mate.
US Army tasting true democracy which they try to install in other countries
If there were more cops, that serviceman would have been murdered.
Good!!!
There needs to be change
Fired and publicly famous now crooked 👮.
I take it none of you watched the whole video. The “LT” was totally in the wrong. Hopefully he doesn’t get a cent and is discharged.
No money is worth a man’s health, strength, life, mental, reputation ECT. that dirty 🐖 👮 had no regard for a man’s life.
White Police are racist.
Driving while black? 😳
Are cops! 👮 All that dum? 🤡 🤡
What’s with all the yelling!! 😮
This putz created this situation and now he wants to cry about it?
First – he isn’t supposed to have a weapon on him going on and off base. If he’s not going on and off base, why is he wearing his uniform.
Second – so now we get to not comply with basic commands at traffic stops and then we get to sue?
Shame on this guy – I’d hate to have him in any situation of command over me. He needs to be an E-1 and go back through boot camp.
The Government of the United States of America (America) have to stop lecturing other countries on human rights. In my opinion, these attacks on Black people in America are planned, to make Black people fear and bow down to White people. The same was done to Black people on the plantations during slavery.
Get out of the car.
Put right hand in.
it should be more than one million
Judging based on selected scenes. Can’t trust news media now.
Freaking pig probably still think he IN the right
This is why I dont wan to live and want to commit suicide I hate being black
He can use the Lawsuit money to take acting classes..Didn’t fool me for a 5 seconds.
Is it just me or does Nazario look like Nick Cannon?
Sent those SOB to the JAILS and fined USD 1 Million each
The officer pepper spray his eyes for no reason, then they don’t offer him water but make him stand there and have a conversation with them as his eyes burn. Ok.
america
Fat useless cap: what are you?
I am LT
Fat useless cap: here, let me pepper spray you.
Stop hiring KKK memebers and White supremacist to govern people and you wont have this problem. Obviously they’re biased!
Idk wtf is wrong with people these days… smh 🤦🏽♀️ WE ARE ALL EQUAL! Just because a person has a badge, that does not make anyone better than others! Color should not matter! I guess that makes to much sense for people to comprehend! Get your 💩 together people!!
America is in a mess now. So many bad things are happening. It a shame !!
“Unfortunate”
Everyone that Pig arrested should be set free
This was disgusting to watch, the guy was so calm to see them do him like that is wrong
These cops are terrorists
The officer did nothing wrong. This army officer needs to be discharged and put in jail. The officer needs to counter sue and be reinstated to his job. THE ATTORNEY IS A POS. NBC is selling false narrativesand needs to held responsible for ruining this Officers career and inciting violence with race baiting.
SUE them into depression they deserve it, and imagine what went down across America before the body cams, a LITENEINT gets pepper sprayed for no reason at all just because hes not White, unbelievable bunch
Vie vil ask the questions!! Nazis
These are evil a’holes with guns & badges
Cops should be held at a higher standard for everything, because are out there “serving and protecting”
Example: ticket for speeding: $200 ticket civilian-$800 for a speeding cop
caught stealing: civilian: 1 year jail – cop: 4 years in jail.
I hope the Lt. gets a massive payday here.
Does anyone just follow directions when stopped by a cop anymore or is that just a thing of the past?
Lights go off, pull over, follow directions, get my ticket and move on with my life.
Officers:
“You’re gonna do what you’re told!!
“You better be afraid!”
“You’re about to ride the lightning son!”
They used hreats and jargon to incite violence and escalate the situation instead of just telling them why they stopped him and solving the problem. This is beyond abhorrent and disgusting.
I will never serve AmeriKKKa!
Those officers needs to be held accountable legally as well as being fired.
This is crazy…….
Disgusting how the head pig refuses to apologize for kidnapping and torture, while blaming the actual victim. Republicans have been REALLY quiet about these racist pigs assaulting an innocent member of the military.
The 2nd Lieutenants Commanding Officer should give them a article 15, or at least a letter of reprimand for disobeying a direct order from civil authorities / law enforcement.
He’s a poor excuse for a Army Officer!!!!
What a baby 🍼 🥵
It’s not enough for them to lose their jobs, they need to be locked up with all the other people they wronged and put away illegally.
I am latino and live in England and you can see the big difference between the police, here the police are more humans and less ignorant that the USA police
BYE, racist fuckheads.
What happens when a guy is ready to play victim before he is a one, meets an insecure moron with authority, with a euphoric race baiting media playing ref. I would place my bet on epic payday.
If the cop is signaling for me to pull over, is it okay for me to continue driving till I reach a well lighted gas station, like the recent case in Virginia? Can I refuse to exit the vehicle on demand? Can everybody make their own decision as to comply or not comply with police instructions? Should the police think I am trying to grab a gun when I choose to disregard his instructions?
THIS CORRUPT COP BELONGS IN JAIL………RACIAL PROFILE AT ITS GREATEST
Fired hope they their pensions should pay for the lawsuit
these 2 officer followed this guy for a mile and a half with sirens and he refused to stop. they continuously told him to put his hands out the window over 15 commands and he refused and instead put up his handheld phone camera to record. the tag was not clearly displayed and was the reason for the stop. all he had to do was follow command and go his way. watch the full video not what the media shows you only the pepper spray part. he should be ashamed to be in the military
Are All Cops As Stupid And Bullies In USA As Shown By This Video???
fire those cops, they have no right to enforce a traffic stop like this (humiliating people).
This is how blacks are treated. over an over surly these guys that wear uniform today are not real cops what are they ??
He should have been fired a year ago when this happened by the Chief of Police…. I guess the Chief of Police needs to be fired, also!
Why didn’t he put the tag where it belonged after the FIRST time he got stopped for it:
https://youtu.be/iD_8EEhvC2E
Hate this focking cop
I’m so tired of police doing stuff like this… Needs to be a change in the system or training.
Because he is In the military and black now he is above the law??? What a joke??
I’m SO glad the guy is still alive. ❤️
Notice how more than 90% of commentary and media coverage focus on race or military service instead of why cops think it’s completely cool to perform a “high risk” (code for prepare an execution) traffic stop simply for not having plates on your car?
this happened in december. and people only knew it now.
The lieutenant was intentionally being provocative and taking advantage of the current climate for financial gain. That is conduct unbecoming of an officer in the United States military
They forgot to mention this guy didn’t pull over for over a mile and a half….This so called “solider” is an instigator…trying to get a pay out…there’s another video of another traffic stop, watch it.
At least they didn’t pull a gun by accident..
Have you guys not watch videos of police officers being shot dead during traffic stops? This is not about racism. If only the soldier complies, the situation would not have to be so complicated.
The cops had absolutely no idea who is inside that vehicle during that situation. Cops are human too, they have their safety to take care too…
Nobody care if you are a veteran, active or whatever during situation like this. If you don’t comply, you are suspicious. Anyone having mental breakdown can wear a uniform and go around shooting cops too.
I feel that this situation is not whether you are black, white, asian or whatever. This is all about complying when you are in suspicion.
I am sorry the soldier have to go through this humiliation, but everything is avoidable, if he would’ve just comply.
Indian cops are more.. brave than these..first world cops..They r jus hilarious..
I’m jus in awe at thier stupidity
