US police officer accused of assaulting Black Army officer fired

Officer Joe Gutierrez has been fired after an investigation showed that he violated police procedure during a traffic stop in which he is accused of assaulting US Army Lieutenant Caron Nazario. Gutierrez pepper-sprayed Nazario, even though his hands were raised and he was not resisting. Nazario filed a lawsuit against the two police officers in federal court for violating his constitutional rights including assault and illegal detention.
