Army Officer - “I’m afraid to get out!”
Police officer - “You should be afraid”
Let those words sink in
The context was clearly that he should be afraid if he /doesnt get out/ which he didnt so he got pepper sprayed
You should be afraid niqqa
@@joeyharper4976 😘
At that point that office should wearing the Klan hoodie
@@kenny91045 pepper sprayed for? Not getting out ok which law did he break in order to be detained ?
This happened in December and they just fired him now because of the video being everywhere.
Yup .. the police Chief has very poor for sight. He should have fired him days after watching the video.
I was just thinking this lol Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. 5 months later
Wtf and were just finding fu k the media and there allies
@marilyn devon Oh, yeah, remember how they hid the video and released it only after Rahm Emanuel got reelected?
OR MAYBE A LITTLE THING CALLED DUE PROCESS OR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION OR INTERNAL REVIEW. MAYBE A DELAY WITH INTERNAL AFFAIRS. IT IS A PROCESS TO FIRE SOMEONE. WILL SAY HE WAS FIRED BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO, AND WITHOUT A INTERNAL REVIEW THE OFFICER WILL TURN BACK AROUND AND SUE FOR BEING TERMINATED WITHOUT A LEGITAMENT REASON. THERE WAS NO VERBAL OR WRITTEN CONSELING NO DISIPLINARY ACTION PRIOR TO BEING TERMINATED. THINK ABOUT!!!
"The driver actively resisted by striking my hand away" see this is the problem right here. Being a cop doesn't make you god.
When you are under arrest, anything you do to impede being taken into custody is illegal.
I watch the same video he didn’t strike his hand are you blind? Plus the rookie should have been fired also. If the lieutenant was wrong why did they fire the police officer!?? That why I don’t care with these police officers get shot. That’s God I live in New York where the cops have been muzzled. You have really commit a crime for them to stop you. that’s how it should be commit a real crime.!!!
literally one of the most disturbing things i’ve ever seen. His hands are empty, he did NOTHING WRONG, and these officers spray him 5 times??? this is so heart breaking
... Really
He did everything wrong! Watch the entire 40 min video
Lot of mindless and complicit people in these comment sections. He did NOTHING WRONG?? Really?? Are you that dumb?? I bet you say the exact same thing with all these other “racist” police videos showing “innocent” people getting shot by police officers for NO REASON AT ALL. The solution is simple...comply and you won’t die, or in this case, get a can of pepper spray.
The bad cop, fired him !
All he had to do was get out of the vehicle. For being an army Lt., he is pretty horrible at following simple orders.
Black and latino? Who cares. He's an American. I served over 23 years in the Army. With Latino sangre. 100% AMERICAN. If ANY Americans are treated like this fellow brother in arms. WE have to hold ALL public servants accountable.
The media loves race baiting, LOVES.
You don’t get it. Carry on in your la la land, fool.
Find me a white dude this happening too.. and teh frequency.
Agreed
we're all green on the outside, and red on the inside. i'd be out for blood if any department had done this to my LT. soldiers keep themselves to a higher standard, why cannot the police?
If the driver had have put his hand down to the door latch to open the door the cop probably would have shot him claiming that he feared the guy was reaching for a gun.
LIES AND MORE LIES
@@tmilesffl reaching inside your car when the police have told you to keep your hands out the window with guns drawn, would have been a fatal mistake. The solider did every thing right and even i would do the exact thing. They where looking to shoot from the second they stopped the car. I hope service men will realize that their home is starting to look like the places they go off to fight in.
@@rjv-rw2ef no just no, if you were to do the same thing with the same cops and the same situation everything would've ended the same way, and when you get out of the car you go slow or stick your hand out of the door and pull the handle, and cops are not trying to shoot you that is a very stupid thing to say. Have a nice day
@@idontcheat the door could be locked which it probably is as most new cars self lock after being driven. I wouldnt stick my hands back into my car to unlock the car or the door handle. Even if he car was unlocked inaction cannot be seen as aggresion, it shouldn't even be seen as resistance. Its the cops' job to restrain someone and not be a hair away from blowing someone's brains. And he was fired so I'm right ultimately. He was using excessive force for no good reason.
NOPE! YOUR WRONG! THATS A STUPID ASS STATEMENT!
Justice thank god for cameras there’s been cops like this forever it’s just there never was evidence to prove the people right
Cops who do their job and have to deal with idiots?
Yeah that's he got fired. He was doing his job 🙄
Justice? The LT ain’t even obey commands? He drove off from police for a mile and a half and his cars tag and plate weren’t visible. Justice? The cop was doing his damn job go watch the full video instead of this misleading news clip.
@@user-eb2lu9yz3uweren’t visible? You can clearly see it in his back window. And he drive for another mile to go to a lit area because as you can see the cops didn’t even want him to move in a bright setting. Stop being stupid
@@anthonyp2883 I’m stupid... Sir, by Law his plate has to be visible from the officers perspective. You clearly see it now because he’s under a bright light at a gas station, you’re not going to ‘Clearly’ see it on a dark road at night so no you can’t CLEARLY see it Mr. Davis. So knowing that NOW, the cop had a reason to stop him because through his eyes thats a UNMARKED CAR. Now when told to stop, the LT drives away for a mile and a half. These two factors alone means there’s strong cause for a ‘High Risk Assessment’. With a High risk assessment the cop now has the right to detain you with out telling you why, it’s called “reasonable particularized suspicion’ (Yes, this is taught at police academy’s all around the US). Did you even watch the entire 50 min video or are you giving me your opinion through this clip alone?? Yet, I’m stupid? I’m not stupid I’m a black man that actually does his research, I don’t choose sides I choose facts. Btw, both the cop and the LT are Latino.
You probably also think republicans are racists and rich not knowing the the KKK was made by democrats. You know Biden called black people poor people? Did you know The majority of Democrats were AGAINST civil rights? Did you know republicans fought to end slavery so hard that when the first republican president was elected (Abraham Lincoln) a whole war was started in part because of it? Did you know the confederate flag was made by Democrats??? Of course you don’t because you don’t read books you watch the news. News that’s owned by Democrats!
A driver finding a safe well lit location in a few minutes is acceptable.
Yep, when I've been pulled over on the freeway, I signaled to turn onto a lower traffic exit to avoid traffic. A black man not wanting to be murder we by cops on the side of an unlit road is obvious. He put his hazards on and didn't speed up or anything. Thank God the station was close or the cops would have sicced helicopters and the whole force on him, OJ Simpson style
Not 1.5 miles
@@JeepCherokeeful if they did this in a well lit area, what happens on a dark and non-populated area?
@@sergeant1446 run the tags, normal stop. I got chewed out for not stopping within a 1/4 of a mile before. Most stops after dark are in the dark...failure to comply ASAP and a continuation of this lead to this entire situation. As prior service I’m ashamed this individual is serving.
@@NamPham-jk5zc Ya A Turn He Droved 1 Mile And A Half
Why did it take 4 months to fire this guy?
Chief of Police has bad timing.
maybe it's taken this long to get the footage from the dept?
Internal investigation took some time no doubt, but the video only recently made headlines which forced the departments hand.
What's there to investigate when you have these videos? Ongoing investigations is a bunch of BS.
They want to let tension die down and anger cool off. They give the officers time to find new employment; shuffling them around like the Catholic church did the perverse priests and the Boy Scouts did their child molesters. SHAME ON THEM!
Fired? Yes but only after the video goes viral.
He was fired on Dec 05, way before anyone was talking about this case
That’s why you film everything anytime you have to speak to the police.
Correct , like they were maybe just gonna let the smoke ckear and sweep it under the rug . Smh
What do you expect. You live in a dystopian hell hole. Circle back 6 months and he'll be back at his desk
@@benhaley9811 that is so sad.. and they will go back to the job doing the same thing, abusing their authority.
Fired??? That goon should be arrested and charged. Along with the other so-called officers.
I watched the video before the news broke and I found his aggressiveness troubling. He had no dam reason to spray him, the soldier was clearly shaken up and scared. Like your asking him to unbuckle and open the door while 2 guns are aimed at him ?? Terrible tactics in my opinion.
So disgusting. Why the hell did he feel he should pepper spray a person with his hands up?!
because he had it and he knew he couldn't shoot at him in a well-lit area.
@@glosariodawson7028 At one point one cop was telling him to keep his hands in sight while the other cop was telling him to unfasten his seatbelt. If he'd reached for the belt release they would've shot him dead.
Because he would not let the officer open the door and refused to obey commands
Because the Lt was not obeying orders
That is what cops do they think they can treat you like a animal,well now the shoe is on the other foot,the officer has no job is he bad ass now
Let the officers pay the civil suit cost and not a single tax payer money be used if not sue the police
Taxpayers money is never used in legal settlements. Insurance covers it. Premiums may go up as a result and that would cost taxpayers but not significantly.
He’s fired and on his own now
Tax Payers DESERVE to foot every penny. They voted in the scum that tells the police what to do. When the government takes your money you deserve it. It's called laying in the bed you made. Don't like it? Stop protesting and run for office promising to fix it and recruit others to run for office. Want to make a change? Put up or Shut up!
@@citythink It will show up as an increase in property taxes.
@@enjoyesk8978 I think he will still get his police pension.
The sad part is that the younger officer (rookie) knew that this was totally wrong! But, fearing retaliation from his partners back at the station, he felt pressured by the senior officer (time with the force) so he just kept his mouth shut and backed the other officer! He must have slept through “ethics” class in the academy!
... Are you
Then hes worse cause he's insulting that badge by willing letting a crime happen because he's "scared". Screw that excuses he swore to uphold the law and he's breaking that oath if he can't make the hard and right decision then he needs to give up that badge cause it's pointless on him.
Yea in the full video you can see the rookie officer looking at the senior officer while he is spraying the lieutenant, you know the rookie is thinking "wtf is he doing"
@@solisprime2669 that's an extreme reach even from my point of view as a minority in this situation everybody's going to react different so his fear of his technical superior was respectfully rightful
They were shouting for him to keep his hands up AND to get out the car. He made the right decision to do NOTHING AT ALL, because if he had put his hand down to open that door, we would've had another black man shot and killed by another *"i feared for my life"* thug in blue
The Irony of a black police officer practically assaulting the man. As the white guy just stands there watching not really knowing what to do.
@@zacharyortopan5645 The officer wasn't black.
Bruh....find the full video and watch...not this edited version
He certainly HAD to comply with the officers orders with this LAWFUL traffic stop. He didn't pull over for a mile and a half and had a gun within reach. He had the audacity to claim he was afraid as he set up his camera with a stupid smug on his face. The guy should be discharged.
@michaelhernandez you must not know what its like to be in his shoes. Comply for what ? Know your rights! He is likely trained to be calm in a more dire situation than this. He did right setting up a camera for himself not knowing where this could lead too. They tried to set him up for death saying hands out the car & unbuckle your seatbelt . Talk about cruelty
Eh, that officer will be up and suited within weeks with another district. This is becoming the regular
I believe if an officer is sued 3 times within one year, it's a basis to lose their job.
No other district will want the liability or the negative publicity so no. He will have to do some other kind of job.
His name is everywhere on social media. He will never be backed by the BLUE. Or the Armed forces who protect us.
@@anotherluckyone I seriously hope that he never gets another opportunity to work with any other law enforcement.
@@10DoD let's hope on it.
Cops messed up on this one. Big Time!
Now imagine what could have happened if he pulled over on the darkened road. He did the right thing by going to the gas station.
I saw the original video. CNBC edited to fit their narrative. The LT Went a mile and a half before pulling over, hence the high risk stop protocol. He was ordered repeatedly over 20 times over several minutes to put his hands out of the window. He refused and was verbally confrontational to the officers. He only put his hands out briefly where officers were at the window. When the officers attempted to open the door. He blocked it with his arm, which is physically resisting. That is when he got sprayed. CNBC should be ashamed of themselves.
@@Nick-kw9oz please i know you are white for sure
@@Brucelee89896 Look on RUclips Officer Tatum's video. You will see the truth there. He goes through the whole video.
@@Nick-kw9oz I saw the original video too. I completely understand why he chose to drive that extra mile. A gas station provides lighting and witnesses.
Yes but he should have gotten out at the get go! Cops don't care what uniform you have on...he was resisting and instigating fear to the cops. Glad he's OK...but Come on!!! Do what your told!!
Imagine how many victims of incidents like this happened before the age of video phones and we just didn't hear their side of the story.
“He struck my hand he assaulted me” I swear when it comes time to write the reports, they are the softest victims on the planet. But during the incident they are big macho tough guys. Cowards.
It’s not that it’s that what the police did is wrong so stfu ur not the one going through that
I’m so glad he pulled over in a gas station. SAFETY, witnesses and people recording with their phone.
Officers ego was damaged because he didn’t pull over.
Officer was mad because the Lt was not following orders, the cop and the Lt were in the wrong here, also their body cams were on so those caught everything, it wouldn't matter if they were in a well lit area everything would've been documented
Just wish he had done what he was told....a cop doesn't care what uniform you have on...their are plenty of crazy imitators out there. Glad he is OK 😁😁
You see this is not gonna stop,cannot fixs stupid,am so sick of this everyday
Only the officer was wrong he didn't follow protocol. Just because someone yells orders doesn't mean they are right.
@@idontcheat Our police are really bad. They delete footage and withhold it.
I’m afraid to get out “yeah you should be” that’s what the cops are teaching our children. That’s why people run or struggle FEAR.
fight, flight or freeze and all three are resisting arrest
Yall are brainwashed. You are the ones teaching fear.
Yeah I call BS on that excuse! Stop and listen...if your doing the right thing your OK...if you got warrants/drugs etc...THATS where your panic and fear is coming from. Lots of crazy people dress as cops or military..get out and show your credentials... All good.
No that's what YOU are teaching children and those children are going to listen to you untill they do something wrong and get jailed, shot, or killed, you need to listen to police no matter what, if the police are doing bad things that's what court is for, just listen to lawful orders and you will be alright
@@idontcheat or dead
Not only should he be fired, he should also be publicly shamed. this is outright unacceptable
This is why Rambo: First Blood is such a great movie.
💯💯💯💯
Yeap, totally agree
If the LT would have never recorded, the police department would keep withholding the bodycam due to “ongoing investigation”
So what it's an investigation and eventually once the investigation is finished it would be released and everyone would know what happened
Cause you know....
@@idontcheat or it gets buried and the body cam footage mysteriously disappeared
They didn't release the video due to the LT recording. They released the video due to the LT leaking his own. The LT wanted trial by public opinion, because he knows that people of color receive special treatment in the current atmosphere, even when police are justified. The officer still had reason to pull him over and even issue a ticket. The officer was fired due to how poorly he handled the situation and not because he pulled over the LT.
Tags must be clearly visible. Do you know how hard it is to see a tag through a dark tinted window at night? So... basically you have an officer who saw a tinted out vehicle with no visible tags, who then lead them on for 2 minutes without pulling over. This is why they came with the guns drawn. They can't see in the vehicle and they don't know what they're getting into. Then you have the "alleged" LT not complying, who threw his position in their faces to try and deter them. The officer shouldn't have pepper sprayed, but the LT didn't follow the law. He implied that he should get special treatment due to his military position. Is that how things should work? The law is there for a reason and only criminals don't follow it. But alas, if you break it, just make sure you are recording and hope that you have a dumb cop for a pay-day.

@Justin Simes yep, that way when you have a home envision or you are beaten and robbed or worse, you won’t have to worry about law in for cement abusing those poor criminals. The LT should have got out of the car. He wouldn’t have been peppered, and probably would have got off with a warning about the cardboard license plate in the tinted window.🤷🏿♂️
Yes you are right.
@@anotherluckyone the msm is worst then the criminal element in this country. They never give people the facts, just the cheap drama they can dredge up. I always make it a point to do some research before I form a opinion on anything they broadcast.
@@danielpurcell7395 Oh please! If the army lieutenant had reached down to open the car door, the roid rage POS cop would have shot him and then claimed he thought he was reaching for a gun. He's lucky he wasn't murdered.
@@ericsieverling3934 take a look at the vid on utube of the New Mexico highway patrolmen that was gunned down after pulling a vehicle over. That may give you a idea as to why these cops are so nervous when they pull a vehicle over and have to deal with a belligerent individual resistance to their commands? Very dangerous world we live in, worse then it’s ever been in my lifetime.
The Army 2nd LT is a example for everyone in the Army to follow, always find out what is going on, and just say no if being told to do something that doesn't sound right.
Lmao you’re not allowed to say no during police commands. How did it not sound right? Go watch the full video
This is not a new thing of the police messing with military personnel. Back in 06-07, I was stationed in camp pendleton and was told in newcomers class to watch out for the local police because they were a bunch of trigger happy kids looking to start something.
Just that now more eyes upon us. More proof available. So sad how a soldier has to be just as afraid to get out of his vehicle in the U.S. as if in a war torn country... 🙈🙉🙊

What's even more wrong is this happened apparently in December and the officer wasn't fire until now when the video went public. The chief should have fired him immediately after watching this video (unless they put him on probation and let the evidence handle itself first....that of which I do not know)
@@kylemielke1021 the officer was actually fired on Dec 5, Read the facts before you say nonfactual things!
@@idontcheat Can you provide a link stating the officer was fired on December 5? The incident occurred on December 5. I would be very, very surprised if the officer was fired on the same day the incident occurred. Especially as it looks like it happened at night.
We need a new system. That means firing all US police and temporarily enacting nationwide martial law until a new untainted pool of young volunteers can replace it. What we need is a firm standard engagement rules when it comes to using force on a suspect. This cowboy style mentality has to go. This intimidation and violence has to stop.
Getting to the point where you call a state trooper as soon as you get pulled over by city or county officer.
lol yea call every department just in case and start a live video just in case
How do you get out of a car, have your hands clearly visible, and do it all while you’re getting pepper sprayed?
@Banks Shah If you want to see the whole story go on Officer Tatums channel. Since media’s like these won’t show the whole truth
Why just fired? Put him behind bar
They havent learned to just tell people what is going on to deescalate the situation.
The LT was thee only one truly trying to de-escalate the situation.
😂 now just imagine if they would have walked up to him politely and asked for his license and registration and told him the reason he was getting pulled over for and wrote him out his citation
@@jeyweb4236 he said he was scared to get out and the officer replied yeah you should be.
It's hard to explain what you're doing when you harass someone for no reason. It's not like the cops are going to be like "well, you're black so I made up a reason to pull you over and claimed it's a felony stop".
@@defenestratefalsehoods yeah and that was bs! These cops did almost every possible thing wrong. Him choosing to keep his hands up saved his life.
Wasn't cooperating lmao what do they expect? if he reached to unbuckle his seatbelt or to unlock his door to get out he would have been shot dead
Smart of him to go to a wall lighted area..not just for the safety of himself but for those around him..as well as cameras around there....sucks now, cops are just instilling fear..
The real question is....how many black people get killed by the police annually???
He didn't get shot even though he sat in there with his hands setting up his video cam before he came with "whats going on".....after not stopping for more than a mile.....get full vid and watch
Guilty until proven innocent. Lt. is lucky to be alive.
He was guilty. He did not pull over. He did not shut the car off. He did not exit the vehicle. How much more "guilty" can you get. The driver escalated the situation when he decided to ignore these (3) commands, over and over and over and over. Watch the video again.

Yes. I agree. He should have gotten out though. He resisted and instigated fear in the cops...he knows better then that through training. Glad he's OK though 😁🇺🇸
the problem is that can still get you shot. if you drive a long enough distance. they will just shoot you through the window. cops need to go.

Some police behave very aggressively, preying on people like animals
For a felony stop its completely different than a routine stop.
Seems like having a badge will protect any legit psychopath who can pass an interview and get hired. Lord help us.
He got fired because the police station don’t want to be part of the lawsuit basically they wash their hands !!
They can't defend the police officer because the officer was in the wrong so yeah
@@idontcheat No he wasn't the guy didn't pull over until over a mile and a half, you do not pull over when you feel like it.

uh, yeah. its the police!
The man didnt pull over for more than 2 minutes with 2 squad cars behind him with sirens and lights on.
That turns it into a felony stop.
Dont be such a smooth brained sheep.
@@travis1043 umm Travis listen to the video again dummy
Everyone. Listen Up. Any encounter that you have with law enforcement get your phone out and start recording immediately.
The Lt. left no room for: "I was scared for my life. (See the Castile shooting)
Fire them all
Idiot
Hey man, you really need to check out the whole video before commenting. If you want the truth I suggest that you go and take a look at Officer Tatums channel for the truth
@@Kwildcat13 hows ur buddy tRump doing ? Or Derek chauvin doing ? Haha
Why didn't he get out of the car?
“Put your hands where I can see them” and “get out of the car” is impossible while your seatbelt is engaged SMH. Not to mention a possible death sentence reaching down when your skin is dark.
In the full video he says "put your hands out the window and turn the vehicle off" . How do you do that ? Crazy.
i agree what the officer did was wrong but why didn't the guy just get out of the car, i feel like things woulda gone better
Because he knew what he was doing....making a million without working for it!
With how off the rails those cops were flying he probably would have been shot for trying to get out of the car.
@@VektrumSimulacrum true, u do make a point
Because he would have shot! He was being
Given contradictory commands. He was told to put his hands out the window while simultaneously being told to get out of the car: he can’t do both at the same time! With two guns drawn on him and the excited state, hysterical state of the two police officers, if he had reached down to unlatch the seatbelt, he would’ve been shot.
Ride the lighting means get tased
No reason for this. Liutenant was calm. Asking what was going on. Afraid to reach for the door as well. I would have been too. This cop was an absolute bully and extremely unprofessional. How long has he been allowed to act this way? It didn't happen overnight. Disgusting.
Some of these officers don't have a high enough IQ to become public servants. Critical thinking skills are very necessary in this type of job.
being a bigot and being dumb aren't synonymous
The best part of the video is the very end where the officer says we are just going to forget this or I will make trouble for you with the military.
I missed that part.
This cop is a disgrace!
Theres a full 30 minute video of this in youtube
@@cathifamjourney469 You have to watch the full encounter. This video only shows a tiny portion of what happened.
@Bill Loveland he is an overbearing pig, ruining the good police!
The video was dated 2020 and he just got fired today? Or this month? What??? He should have been fired that same night!!!
He was fired on December 5th, 2020.
This is unreal! I'm glad he was fired! UNREAL!
I wished they’d stop saying he is black and latino ! He is Afro latino and the assaulting officer was a white latino , that’s how this works ! And this is heartbreaking 💔
You dont have to pull over immediately...you pull over where YOU feel SAFE...
Did that once for a cop pulling me over at night and skipped the dark exit and pulled over at a gas station....he was all upset and a basically shouted at him " ima pull over where i feel SAFE!" his face looked like he ate something sour. 😆
the cop should be happy as hell that he pulled over in a well lit place..that way they BOTH could be safer..
@Matt Dingo The man spent 2 minutes to park at a well lit gas station and had his turn lights on. The officer failed to explain the situation with guns already out. The man had his hands up, so why would an officer say he should be afraid and that he will ride the lighting. All aggressive statements that would escalate the situation. The man did not raise his voice or fight the officer. The officer clearly flew off the handle and tried to cover himself by warning him to not speak on it to protect his military career. Even the second officer knew things were getting out of hand and wanted to calm things down but the other officer did not let him.
Same thing happened to me on a NY highway, middle of no where after midnight, DARK because the county didn't have the street lamps lit and the LEO's car was blacked out and unmarked. Yeah right, I'm stopping for an unmarked black vehicle /w tinted windows. Called 911 on my mobile, they advised I stop, like can you guarantee my safety? No answer. Stopped at a service area and got chewed out.
@Matt Dingo How does boot leather taste?
You can't evade police for a mile and if you do this is what happens, if you were to comply I'm sure you'd go home with a ticket or two, if you were to comply you would be completely fine
I have a question, is the Gas station going to be named after the Police officer or the Army Lieutenant
He went to the same police academy with Chauvin, where the tell you to throw away your commonsense
That is the best damn beard on a lawyer I ever did see!!!
But it makes him look like one of the Capitol insurrectionsts.
@@tele68 Never mind what he looks like. I care about what he actually is. Which to me looks like a good dude.
Ngl, "You're fixing to ride the lightning, son!" is some cold-blooded sheet to say to someone right before you taser them. That's a good one
The guy was not complying in ANY way
@@joy-115 Hard to comply when the orders you're given contradict each other
Taser is also code for Murder With a Gun
@@jefflutz7031 black dude lowers his hands and he’s dead, nice try though
Not when it’s 5v1 with tasers drawn on a vet just trying to get home. be cool in a movie though.
Where is the assault charge for the officer? Of course there isn't one.
Still should of shown a service man some sort of respect, or asked him why he didn't pull over 🤔
I can guarantee This wasn't the 1st time dealing with a black man.
What made this a felony stop?
I’m wondering the same....
@@1IPF i do not believe there's a court in the nation that has not held that a motorist can continue to drive to the next well lit location off of the road. it's for the safety of both motorist and cop. too many cops are struck on the side of the road during traffic stops.
and let's not even get into police impersonators, which are a thing. if you come in contact with one, pray it's just some nutjob power tripping, and not a serial killer. more than one has used blue lights and a costume to gain access to new victims. when you're lit up on the highway at night, can you tell if the car is authentic?
furthermore, the police escalated this. this was a "no tag" stop, but at the gas station, the paper tag is clearly visible. if they were paying attention to detail, as they are trained to, they would have seen this and de-escalated. instead, they jump out the car, guns drawn, like they both thought they were john q rambo.
that right there is the key mistake. had they paid attention to detail, none of this would have happened. the police are supposed to be highly trained observers, capable of delivering expert testimony at trial. the police report also shows they "misrepresented" (lied for you and me) about events in order to justify their use of force.
they also had a mile and a half to spotlight his rear, and properly see his legally placed paper tag.
i also was a trained observer, and it makes me professionally sick to think these bumbling goons share the title with me. had i made mistakes of this magnitude in the army, i'd have killed myself and my buddies; or i'd be facing war crimes charges, and i'd end up breaking goddamn rocks in a military prison for the rest of my life.
@@1IPF hazards on, not fleeing, driving slowly only so that he would be in a well-lit area. you'd be smart to do the same.
@@rakninja No it was felony evading, you do not drive for a mile and a half and then pull over. It was escalated after the driver failed to pull over.
your making up excuses for the driver, he did the wrong end of the story he should have pulled over right away which is the dam law and the cops wouldn't have reacted that way.
@@1IPF Wrong. It is his intent that is important. This was not a high speed chase. He had his blinker on to let them know he was going to pull over. They had no reason to stop him. They claim they didn't see his temp tag the was attached to the vehicle.
He shouldn’t be fire he should be prosecuted and sentence to jail time
Because most of them do exactly the same thing abuse the badge and the power given to them
No he shouldn't the he didn't break any law to my knowledge and department rules can't be a arrestable offense, I'm not 100% sure on that so you can correct me but the cop shouldn't be arrested just kicked from his job. Have a nice day
"Riding the Lightning" is NOT a reference to the electric chair, he's referring to his taser.
Good thing he didn't mistake his firearm as pepper spray.
He probably just needs more training
That is not enough!, this is not fair 😢
@Censorship Is real 🤮
@Censorship Is real 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤡
@Jay Porter jail time 💚
@Jay Porter Jail time jail time jail time, jail jail jail jail.🤪
These cops love to act big and bad when the odds are in their favor. Abuse of power, racial profiling etc..glad he lost his job, he doesn’t need to be on the streets anyway..
What was sickening was after all that happened was when the officer who peppered sprayed him was trying wipe up the incident by talking to him so he won't press charges and tried to tell him also how he was still in the wrong and that he could still write him a ticket and stuff. They have a video of him doing that if anyone wants to see it. It made me so mad. He deserved to be fired. That was not called for.
That cop need to be punished for treating people like a trash. The cop scared the lieutenant by yeliing and pointing gun to him causing him not doing anything. If he trying to reach to open up the doors car, they could though he is trying to reach gun or something. This is what makes me afraid to be surrounded by police. 😢😢
The officer was deffinately unprofessional with his word usage, but why didn't the LT just comply and get out of the car when asked the first time? Better to fight in the courtroom than on the side of the road.
In other news, officer Gutierrez has been rehired by nearby city.. (matter of time).
Qualified immunity needs to be re-visited or abolished.
Leaving that 2nd officer on the job is why this behavior doesn't end .... thin blue line is cover for corruption...one bad apple has spoiled the whole bunch
You know who hates dirty cops other cops
Btw this was a felony stop and the truck had no plates on it
He got pepper sprayed for not following simple instructions you think the army MPs would act any different with this LT
The commander is going to have a field day with him when he/she sees the body cam footage this guy got what he deserved
This is disgusting. Fire these cowards immediately and make sure they can't get another job with a different police department. The second cop actually replies 'You should be" in response to the driver saying he was afraid to get out of the car. Unbelievable.
I notice the cop was "chinless" (a very recessed chin), not sure what it means but in 60 years I've noticed quite a few people like that are mental. Especially when they are in positions of authority!
Low self esteem.
MENTALLY ILL MY FOOT THESE CORRUPT RACIST POLICE IS CORRUPT LIKE AMERICA THE COUNTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT
Probably some incest in the family.
Police shouldn't have weapons anymore, not even pepper spray!!!
Nah just make each use of force with large amounts of paperwork to file separately from the initial arrest explaining in detail why the force was need and how it was impossible to defuse the situation.
I'm gonna say this, if I was a supervisor for that department, I would have cracked that cops head open with my baton, those men are out there dying for us and this is how they treat them, this has nothing to do with race, this is something to be aware of, have your temp license plate visible at all times, felons who steal vehicles take the plates off so that the car can't be found easily, idc what I said in this, in speaking the truth that is not right
Since when did dying while driving become the new normal?
I salute to our hero soldiers always and thank you for your service. 🙏🙏🙏
A soldier who can't follow simple orders is a terrible representation of the Military. F this guy!
Oh Wow 😳 This Is Harsh Asf! 🤦♀️For No Reason!
@A farting cloud which is endangering lives so I wouldn’t say no reason .
@A farting cloud I’m pretty sure the news said 2 mins lol
He acted like fool and did not comply. If a cop tells you to exit the vehicle you do it. This guy knew exactly what he was doing and the more police give into this, the more these criminals will try to get away with more frivolous law suits. F this guy, he should not have ever served this country. He is a coward. He can't even listen to basic commands.
Why is he only getting fired??? This should be jail time , at this point the guy in the car has done nothing wrong and has been assaulted. I’m glad I don’t live in America
What % of our taxes go to the police?? That's how much I'm not paying anymore
Dude there are bad apples every where..
The attorneys for Nazario are also saying they want the other Virginia officer fired too.
@big guns You right. The police chief says no.
For what?
What should the officer do when a person doesn’t get out of the car?
Lower tasers, state crime/felony, unlock door from lowered window, ask/lead non resisting man out of car, search vehicle, find nothing, write ticket, drive off. Very simple.
You can't order conflicting orders. Keep your hands where I can see them! Get out of the car! Clearly the seatbelt has to be removed.
Thank Heavens the Lieutenant didn’t stop on the side of a dark & lonely road. He might be dead!
No
The cop would know better, even if he is a bigot.
It's hard to say for sure, but you make a really good point. A f****** second lieutenant, do these officers have any common sense to think that maybe a military officer would be law-abiding???
@@chriswinkler284 just like another cop would know the difference between a gun and tazer.... (in daylight)
The Police Union will find him another job....in the meantime he will get back pay, vacation money from being wrongly discharged without the Unions due process
The cop disrespected the LT.. the whole time, "What are you, a specialist or corporal?
" *Fired* " ???
What does that mean exactly?
