Daily Beast: Police in Windsor, Virginia, pulled their guns on a Black and Latino man immediately after pulling him over at a gas station for a traffic stop, according to body camera footage of the December 2020 incident.

Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario, a member of the U.S. Army Medical Corps, was still wearing his full uniform en route home from work in his Chevy Tahoe when he asked, “I’m serving this country, and this is how I’m treated?”
A U.S. Army officer filed a federal civil lawsuit against police officers who pepper-sprayed and assaulted him.

The officers later pepper-sprayed him, kneed him in the legs, handcuffed him, and threatened to bring charges against him if he complained about their conduct, according to the footage and Nazario’s lawsuit.
He has sued the officers, accusing them of racially profiling him. They say they pulled him over because he was driving without a license plate, though he had temporary plates taped to his window. They said they used force because he would not exit the vehicle. When Nazario said he was afraid to exit the vehicle, an officer responded, “Yeah, you should be,” according to video Nazario took of the encounter.

The klan police down in Virginia are mighty triggered these days. They do not like it at all, that black people are starting to vote or influence policy. This is amateur hour policing, with the bias screaming right in front of us. That whole department should have their guns taken until a review is completed.
I just don’t understand that military man’s reaction. He was slow and like in shock. They asked him many times to come out from the car, why he didn’t do it?
Well, anyway, i agree that such detaining looked very unpleasant. Very shameful.
Lol. I don’t think you do this on purpose. The racist trash that orders the black man to step out of the car because he’s too stupid to see the temp registration displayed correctly, pushes all the buttons of the average black man just for fun. Sort of like what you guys do with Chechens. This “military man” happens to be a lieutenant who doesn’t get slapped around by white trash in his own turf.
Try to wrap your head around it. I know it’s hard. Go on the YouTube side of the clip and read the comments from Peter Phan if you don’t believe me.
Let’s see what comes out of the lawsuit.
NewtRallyt: i don’t wanna understand what your personal things you mean. At this video i see 3 persons in the uniforms.!!! What kind of racism are you talking about?!
I know you don’t want to. Playing clueless is elective.
I just said that i see people in the uniforms! I don’t pay attention on their race or ethnicity. They are equal humans! Keep your fantasies with you. Russians say EXACTLY what they mean and there is no need to start apologetics about it.
Typical.
Fair question: If the driver/soldier pulled his hands in to unbuckled seat belt/door handle (making them invisible to the officers) history indicates the driver could have been very well been shot. These officers clearly were not using common sense or were very smart. The officers were saying show your hands while saying “get out of the car” – not too smart. The young cadet, perhaps not trained yet, probably did not understand, but the older guy Offc Guit. should have. But yeah, he’s not smart, and now unemployed facing legal battle. Not sure about VA but in MD you have to tell the driver what he is being stopped, and respectfull language/tone often goes a long way. SOme thing the older officer did not do. The very young (teen?) officer may not have known..
Something that you’ll never read in the western media.
When the revolutionary students took over the US Den of Spies in Tehran back in 1979, Khomeini wasn’t happy. But immediately after the hostage taking he ordered the release of women and blacks which was complied with.
He said blacks have already suffered enough in the US.
Decades later black servicemen have absolutely no problem going to war against Iran for the MIC.
