BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED!
A second lieutenant in the U.S. Army is suing two Virginia cops for a traffic stop in December 2020 where the two cops drew their weapons on him and served him a concrete sandwich. They gave him a pepper spray diet in their pullover.
Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, was dressed in uniform and driving his Chevy Tahoe in Windsor, Virginia, a town that is 10 miles from Suffolk. The body camera footage shows Nazario with his hands in the air outside the vehicle and telling the armed cops: "I'm honestly afraid to get out."
"Yeah, you should be!" said the cop, identified as Joe Gutierrez.
The pullover was at a local BP gas station. Caron said that it was a well-lit area and he did what most people do when their being pulled over.
The cops vicious attack on a motorist attracted controversy.
In a federal lawsuit filed by Caron, he said that his constitutional rights were violated during the traffic stop. The two sides in the case dispute wheat happened when Gutierrez and fellow officer Daniel Crocker engaged with Caron.
At the time, Caron was coming from his duty station at the U.S. Army Medical Corp and was heading home when the traffic stop occurred.
He was traveling on U.S. Highway 460 when he went into Windsor.
Crocker radioed he was attempting to stop a vehicle with no rear license plate and tinted windows. He said the driver was eluding police and he considered it a high risk traffic stop.
Caron said he was not trying to elude an officer. He said that he stopped in a well lit area "for the safety and out of respect for officers." It only took less than two minutes for Caron to properly pull over.
In the video, Nazario repeatedly asks why he was pulled over, and one of the two officers pepper sprays and kicks him. He is then handcuffed while police search his car.
Nazario asks, "Why am I being treated like this? Why?"
"Because you're not cooperating," an officer responds.
Attorney Jonathan Arthur, who is representing Nazario in a lawsuit filed earlier this month against the two officers, said that he was afraid if he took his hands out of view, something bad would happen.
Black second lieutenant feared he was going to die.
"To unbuckle his seatbelt, to do anything, any misstep — he was afraid that they were going to kill him," Arthur said.
The incident report said that Nazario was initially pulled over for not having tags displayed on his SUV, but the temporary dealer plate is visible in the officer's body-camera video.
Nazario was released without being charged.
"What prompted him to file is the need to stop this conduct," Arthur said. "The need to hold these two officers accountable and make sure they cannot do it again."
