My grandfather was almost hung a year after coming home from WW2, after going to a funeral for a fellow black soldier in uniform. My grandmother told him that they either had to leave MISSISSIPPI or he would be killed. (My grandfather was 6"4' very dark skinned and said what he wanted. ) So...Detroit became home.
Thank you for sharing this story, I am a veteran and I am always reminded who men and women like your grandfather and my grandfather had to go through. And the side thing is we are still fighting the battle.
I'm from Florida, and I've been racially profiled by the same state trooper and pulled over TWICE in two different counties by this man. He deliberately pulls over Black people driving nice vehicles because I know of others who have been pulled by him. The second time he pulled me, he claimed I was going 89 mph on the interstate, but only issued a warning. He knew I knew he was lying because I was staring at my radar detector the entire time (which never went off, so he wasn't even spraying radar). Whenever I'm pulled over, my hands go straight into the air. I don't move unless asking beforehand and receiving permission. This man had the nerve to ask me in a condescending tone why I had my hands up. "It's a precautionary measure," was my response. I'm a Black woman in America, and while our cases do not get as much attention, we are still killed at a high rate by police officers.
I've never been pulled over before and I hope it never happens. Im so sorry you went through that. I live in FL too and the lengths I go to make sure I don't get pulled over and be a good driver and make sure my paperwork is good is tiring. I know that's what we are all supposed to do but it's always a point of worry for me. Our mistakes seems to cost our lives.
End qualified immunity for law enforcement officials. If self restraint won't stop their murderous behaviors, then how about knowing they have "no personal protection" from being charged, jailed and sued by the injured parties of their "routine traffic stops".
I *just* found out qualified immunity was instituted in the 1960s after dozens of Civil Rights marches. so police wanted protection to continuing beating Black people without consequence, & those are the same laws we still have today!! I hate it here 😒
I used to believe if you look cleancut, you would get the job and won't be profiled. By age 25, I realized it is an excuse with a bar that keeps moving for peoples behavior.
Also the contradicting commands were coming from the same cop. Hold your hands out of the window AND get out of the car. But he still had his seatbelt on so how is he supposed to follow both of those? He was probably scared to get out because if he reaches down to undo his seatbelt, now he's reaching for a gun and bang bang he's dead.
The gentleman said in the video that he was scared to get out. The officer responded, you should be. And continued to threaten him. The officer told him he was going to ride the lightening.
@@igobytonya6103 Yep! I was just about to type how the officer told Lt. Nazario that he should be scared when he told him he was scared. THAT alone speaks volumes as far as the amount of hatred and disrespect the cop felt towards Lt. Nazario.
Here's one of the troops! They're not ready for the conversation. Thank you for sharing the history of the National African American Museum and Wilbur Little.
As a former military kid, police already have a beef with the military. While on the base, a common rule when stepping off the base, was to always carry your civilian ID. If you get pulled over, you Better not flash any military ID unless you're sure you'll outrank the officers....which was still ill-adviced because then it became a rank match (this is just for whytes.... So imagine the types of moves you can make, necessary when you are a black family) 👀
Omg I never knew the rank thing existence between the two. I would think they found some common ground or shared experiences that joined them because they work twords a common goal. In the video I could clearly see he felt inferior and wanted to demean and dehumanize him. I didn't know it was a thing...
@@1hinita in the video, crazy cop asks Nazario what his rank is and names two lowest ranks, corporal or specialist. Crazy cop became angrier when he said he was a Lieutenant.
I've talked to blacks who said they fill their work uniforms provide as a shield from racism. Black Officers ect and if they take it off they might get spat on. The psychological trauma is through the roof.
Hey Calvin you should be a history professor. I would pay whatever to take the course. I learn so much for your videos. Sooo much. I pray if I ever make it to DC to meet you and just have a face to face conversation. I love your delivery and the way you tie past history to present.
My grandfather served in the US Army in World War II and he had a hard time getting his GI Bill benefits, his brother was a Montford Point Marine that served in WW2 and in the Korean War. And he had trouble also with his GI Bill benefits. Even though they both served honorably.
I met some of the Munford Point Marines when I was stationed in San Diego. Very humble and smart, one of them mentioned during the Black History Program they would do it all again even with all the bs they went thru.
Thank you for explaining this! Just like the black ex-cop from Minnesota that killed that Australian woman and is serving time asap. There is a difference. The information you were telling us is intriguing, yet frustrating. Thank you.🤎
Whoa...do these ppl know how to write a story without police brutality these days? I saw the poster and made note to go back to it. I would've been very upset to watch that thinking I was going to see a Black romcom and got a heaping of police brutality instead. What do you think of it so far?
I'm planning on watching this with my husband over the weekend. I do wish we could have a basic rom-com with no trauma with people who just happen to be black but I actually appreciate these films because they do tell our truth.
I was SO glad he stayed calm even though the officers were escalating the situation with their tones and actions. I watched and thought about his being a veteran and able to handle himself so well in the midst of the officers’ irrational behavior. It might not have saved him from the poor treatment, but it shows the problems with the officers.
I served in the United States Army and I come from a long line of veterans on both of my mother's side of the family and my father's side of the family. And they as well as other veterans in my neighborhood have told some horror stories. Especially when I was younger when there was a lot of World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans in my community.
THATS why you're triggered and reading only what you want to be written; you're a hit dog hollering 😂. I bet u do support africom and that's why my comment triggered u and u lost all sense 😂. And I hope the U.S. reminds u what that means if u are one of them
Great commentary again. Honestly I’m Just fed up with the folks running this country and their ilk allowed to survive and continue their violence against us. Enough is enough
Not new to the black and brown community my husband was triggered by that video he is a 73 year old Vietnam war vet that was injured in the war and when he got back from Vietnam not only was he accosted by authorities in Arizona but also New York in his uniform forced to get face down on the ground and referred to as a boy this is not new it's just being televised ! 😔😒
Oh my god!!! Hearing these stories (and I've heard stories before, but they ALWAYS amp up my anger) I'm actually surprised there's aren't more militant black / marginalized groups in the streets waging war in America... honestly, could anyone blame them? I'd never heard that Issac Woodard story before.. ..good god... I'm watching a doc right now, I hope it has a "happy" ending.. meaning JUSTICE!
And to think Denzel Washington defends police officers despite these horrific and sometimes fatal moments caught on camera so frequently. Thanks for this video. The anger in continuing to see these confrontations and shootings just leave me disenchanted.
There is nothing wrong with defending police officers as not all police officers are racist sociopaths. Also, I am not sure why we keep equating the police with being white, in this incident the lead officer had a spanish surname.

This incident was 4 months ago and only because the video became public did the officer get fired. He's been on schedule this whole time now. And respectability politics never work. Black people better understand this by now. Thank God he's alive. I have to watch The Blinding of Issac Woodard -- I dvr'd it. It hurts me every time reading about LaVena Johnson. And I'm mindful to call it the Tulsa Massacre. It's important to use that term because it wasn't a "race riot", it was one-sided and forced by white people to attack the Black community.
All facts! You're opening statement reminded me of an episode of Power when the Mother and her daughter's boyfriend went to confront the cop and ask for apology for beating him up. She said to the cop, he's a good kid and ran down a list of how good he is. I was pissed because it didn't matter if the kid was "good" or not and goes to a "good" school. He should not have been treated like an animal and beat down period. God was clearly protecting this vet. If you listen to the language from the police they were itching to kill him over a traffic stop. We must all stay prayed up.
This scares me so much I refused to have my family drive from Northern Virginia to Jacksonville, Florida for my Father's funeral. I bawled and begged them to take the train. We took the train.
Thank you for telling our Veterans stories. I remember a few years back I read about Mr. Issac Woodard. His story is horrifying. Watching your video brings to mind that I watched the first episode of "They," on Amazon. I eneded my viewing of that show right then and there. The show was designed to inflict a specific kind of trauma on those Black people who actually watch that show. I feel it's coming from a WS p.o.v. and I'll not participate in that. I hope that Lt. Wins his case.
Calvin thanks for sharing another great commentary. Someone tried to tell me that there isn't racism in the military and that those of color are treated well. I gave a few examples, and I told the person that I won't be gaslit, and I kept it moving because it's pointless to argue the truth/facts to a fool that wants to uphold a lie. I have personally experienced racist people and anti-black attitudes also exist in Christianity, academia, and professional workplaces. Although nothing is new under the sun, I am still shocked when I find myself in situations where it is obvious that my race is playing a key role in why I'm being mistreated or abused. I'm not going to lie, some experiences have eroded my trust and I am more guarded... It also is a punch to the gut when other people of color are actively assisting those that sex to oppress. I think the government should create a national database (like they do for criminals and sex offenders) where fired police officers (those that used excessive or deadly force) are registered and they won't be permitted to apply for law enforcement jobs at any other location. And upon investigation, if they should have been fired but instead they were permitted to quit/resign that police department should either lose funding and/or have some other penalty or sanction.
Mannn, Calvin! This was spot on. As a veteran myself I know all too well the plight and fight of Black veterans, so thanks for being so informative with the info you shared in this post. I learned a lot myself hearing this. It's my first time to your channel, and I'll definitely be back and subscribed as well.
Wow! This is the earliest that I have ever tuned into a new upload! Here in Toronto, Ontario currently 2:28am. Thank you for your discussion about what is going on in Minneapolis. Yesterday morning, I learned about Daunte Wright's fatal encounter with the Minneapolis police. Yesterday evening, I watched footage about Lt. Caron Nazario being abused, harassed and lied to by Minneapolis police. What's going on?
Many of these cops are just over the top! One has to question what their TRUE motives are when they go into law enforcement. It isn't to "serve and protect." That's for damn sure.
Thanks for your commentary! The Police do not need a reform it needs to be totally reconstructed. The police systematic racial discrimination is a part of the policing in this country!
Great show Calvin (as always) Interesting to learn the context of the experiences of African Americans in the military post conflict. In regards to African American soldiers in Europe during WW1, I remember reading The Unknown Soldiers: African-American Troops in World War I by Arthur E. Barbea, which enlightened me to their experiences. Some of your audience may have thought that it was Europeans 1st experience of Africans but I would like to stress that colonialism in Africa had resulted in Africans and African-Caribbean’s fighting on the side of the British, French and Germans in Europe. But I do feel that the influence of the ‘Jazz Age’ did influence how African Americans were viewed (particularly by European women). On another note, just to enlighten you and your audience about the experiences of Black people in two countries that has a direct effect on me. In Australia, there have been 5 deaths in custody in April of indigenous peoples. That brings the total number to 475 since 1991, quiet shocking for a group who are only 3% of Australia’s population (due to genocide and policies designed to ethnically cleanse them). In the UK, the government recently published a report in which it claimed there was no Institutional Racism in the UK and slavery should be seen in a different context (see quote). “There is a new story about the Caribbean experience which speaks to the slave period not only being about profit and suffering but how culturally African people transformed themselves into a re-modeled African/Britain.” Just saying that the shit is hard all over but knowledge about our collective experience is power. Look forward to your next post.
Very first Chauvin defense testimony (4/13/2021) video same policeman saying "undo your seat belt...keep your hands where I can see them." How does the person do both simultaneously?
Speak on it Calvin 2020 in uniform and it is still happening and we still don't get the respect we deserved. Yes i watched the documentary and Harlem stood by his side and it was bad the soldier who lost his eyes
Currently serving and it is scary. You never know what is going to happen with these cops, I stay in Texas. The cops are out of control, and never held responsible...I seen the John Crawford video years ago..he was shot from behind to and the person who made that call lied on him and said he was threatening people in Walmart.
My brother, you're doing a great job. Please find time to do one that will enlighten our black brothers and sisters, including other ethnic minority who easily jump into their narrative as if they are not one of us who are hunted by these racist.
Just discovering this brother but I like what I here please tell this to the comply and dont die crowd Larry Elder , Brandon Tatum and Candace Owen's because EVERY issue POC face with Law Enforcement is apparently brought on by our own selves.
Will someone explain the wars to me for a second: WWI & WWII, when they say "I fought to keep this country safe." Safe from what and who? Who was threatening this country? Thanks.
Did the other officer instigate the incident by radioing in that the man was evading so his partner showed up being extra crazy? If that’s true he should be fired too.

Calvin, I know you are not specifically into theory (I mean explaining theory here), rather focusing on historical analysis. However, I recently became acquainted with Afro-Pessimism as a theory focused on anti-black racism and how/why violence is expected in this white supremacist system and I'd love your perspective on it and how it would explain the constant murder of Africans in America (and worldwide but America is the epicentre it seems)....thanks and great discussion as usual.
My grandfather fought in WWII only to come back home & be locked out of getting the FHA loans to by a house in the suburbs & the GI Bill to pay for college..
I think it was a big deal that he was a veteran because the man was literally in uniform. I was like damn. Another episode of _______ (fill in the blank) while black.
There should be a separation of entities: A Police force and a Law enforcement. Law enforcement does patrols, and police force is deployed only for Violent situations. Similar to swat doesn't do patrols.
A couple of vets took their training and used it against cops.Dallas 13 cops shot and five killed.Louisiana 3 cops shot and 3 cops killed.Just imagine if there would've been 30 of them.

Thanks for your commentary! The Police do not need a reform it needs to be totally reconstructed. The police systematic racial discrimination is a part of the policing in this country!
Great show Calvin (as always)
Interesting to learn the context of the experiences of African Americans in the military post conflict. In regards to African American soldiers in Europe during WW1, I remember reading The Unknown Soldiers: African-American Troops in World War I by Arthur E. Barbea, which enlightened me to their experiences. Some of your audience may have thought that it was Europeans 1st experience of Africans but I would like to stress that colonialism in Africa had resulted in Africans and African-Caribbean’s fighting on the side of the British, French and Germans in Europe. But I do feel that the influence of the ‘Jazz Age’ did influence how African Americans were viewed (particularly by European women).
On another note, just to enlighten you and your audience about the experiences of Black people in two countries that has a direct effect on me. In Australia, there have been 5 deaths in custody in April of indigenous peoples. That brings the total number to 475 since 1991, quiet shocking for a group who are only 3% of Australia’s population (due to genocide and policies designed to ethnically cleanse them). In the UK, the government recently published a report in which it claimed there was no Institutional Racism in the UK and slavery should be seen in a different context (see quote). “There is a new story about the Caribbean experience which speaks to the slave period not only being about profit and suffering but how culturally African people transformed themselves into a re-modeled African/Britain.”
Just saying that the shit is hard all over but knowledge about our collective experience is power. Look forward to your next post.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for the history. I’m glad he made it home.
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for posting. You are so knowledgeable. Keep up the good work!
I see the coldest winter ever in the back tho...
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You For this video. Much Love.
Thank you Calvin for all you do to educate the world.
your commentary, on top of the latest Minnesota episode, took me to into the abyss. is that the way the cop is trained to hold the gun?
I luv how you break things down in your videos. There's always a history lesson and sometimes new things learned
During the roarin' 20's Europeans from all countries rushed to Harlem just to observe/participate in black culture. Not New York! Harlem.
And now their other people of no color have come back yet again to gentrify it😐
So true and factual. Excellent!
Very Well Critiqued Calvin. My Father was a WW2 Veteran. Became a College Professor
I Really like this. You are so knoledgable of the thing that happened. In the past and and are happenings now.
Agree w/you 💯 thanks for posting about this 💗
Not an isolated incident.
Very first Chauvin defense testimony (4/13/2021) video same policeman saying "undo your seat belt...keep your hands where I can see them." How does the person do both simultaneously?
They will never own up to the fact that Tulsa was a show of black empowerment and they couldn't stand it.
Great Calvin. Thx you.
Thank you!
So preciate ur content, esp da brief history snapshots
Thanks for this brother✊🏿💯
As usual, another great video!
Thank you for being you, keep up the great work!!
Congratulations. I want your family to win and be successful as y'all determine. God Bless your partnership.
Speak on it Calvin 2020 in uniform and it is still happening and we still don't get the respect we deserved. Yes i watched the documentary and Harlem stood by his side and it was bad the soldier who lost his eyes
Currently serving and it is scary. You never know what is going to happen with these cops, I stay in Texas. The cops are out of control, and never held responsible...I seen the John Crawford video years ago..he was shot from behind to and the person who made that call lied on him and said he was threatening people in Walmart.
THANKS VERY SKILL VIDEO & WATCH,IN AMERICA.
My brother, you're doing a great job. Please find time to do one that will enlighten our black brothers and sisters, including other ethnic minority who easily jump into their narrative as if they are not one of us who are hunted by these racist.
Just discovering this brother but I like what I here please tell this to the comply and dont die crowd Larry Elder , Brandon Tatum and Candace Owen's because EVERY issue POC face with Law Enforcement is apparently brought on by our own selves.
Look at Calvin almost at 50k subscribers 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You NEED TO PULL OVER INTO THE LIGHT OR ELSE YOU CAN'T SEE!!
Will someone explain the wars to me for a second: WWI & WWII, when they say "I fought to keep this country safe." Safe from what and who? Who was threatening this country? Thanks.
Did the other officer instigate the incident by radioing in that the man was evading so his partner showed up being extra crazy? If that’s true he should be fired too.
That video was so angering. I am so glad the lieutenant pulled into a lit area or he would have most likely been killed by that tyrant cop.
Stevie wonder announced that he is leaving America because of police brutality and racism
Hes like 80. I doubt it's because of all that. He's saying it is, but it doesnt make sense I'm his case.

TRUTH...Fired because of the video, this happened in 2020
It’s crazy that Issac Woodard is my ancestor. It’s a shame that black peoples have to go through so much in life only due to the color of our skin.
Calvin, I know you are not specifically into theory (I mean explaining theory here), rather focusing on historical analysis. However, I recently became acquainted with Afro-Pessimism as a theory focused on anti-black racism and how/why violence is expected in this white supremacist system and I'd love your perspective on it and how it would explain the constant murder of Africans in America (and worldwide but America is the epicentre it seems)....thanks and great discussion as usual.
Truth
Great video!
And you crack me up!
My grandfather fought in WWII only to come back home & be locked out of getting the FHA loans to by a house in the suburbs & the GI Bill to pay for college..
So true, so confusing, foolishness!
I think it was a big deal that he was a veteran because the man was literally in uniform. I was like damn. Another episode of _______ (fill in the blank) while black.
You want my two cents. I say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Your whole video gave me anxiety...the things Black Ppl go through.
All those evil doers will be burnt in the lake of fire!
These 4am video releases >
Calvin I've been missing all of your lives, because Iam not getting any of your notifications, anymore!
Yep, respectability politics will not save you
Neverending, Lord help ppl of color especially blacks!
There should be a separation of entities: A Police force and a Law enforcement. Law enforcement does patrols, and police force is deployed only for Violent situations. Similar to swat doesn't do patrols.
I love me some Calvin Michaels a young Renaissance man!
A couple of vets took their training and used it against cops.Dallas 13 cops shot and five killed.Louisiana 3 cops shot and 3 cops killed.Just imagine if there would've been 30 of them.
Is this officer getting a pension, when cops get fired for unnecessary force like this they need to lose their pension too.
