'Why Do We Keep Seeing Videos Like This?' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Anytime a police officer commits an atrocity like this and is sued, the damages should come from the police pension fund, not the tax payer.
Good point.👍👍
@Brad1156
The original person meant, the police budget should not be increased to pay for payouts Yes, the municipality pays part, so does the officer.
@Brad1156 not quite though. Because that’s money the tax payer is already paying. So it’s really only the cops who lose there. Would certainly motivate cops to root out the ‘bad apples’ if it was their pension that was at risk when their colleagues break the rules
Adam, I've been saying that forever. And in my church, a good 20% of the people are police officers or secret service. Needless to say, we have had some powerful arguments during Bible Study when I say that (and trust, I say it CONSTANTLY!!!). *If damages came out of the pensions, that would immediately eliminate the silent wall of protection.*
Amen! End Qualified Immunity too!
If he didn't go to a well-lit area, he might be dead.
i also believe if he wasnt wearing uniform, the chances of him being shot wouldve gone up tenfold!
@@ICUP922 omg I agree with you on this
20 years ago...no cameras...jfc
Totally agree! With all the points made so far!
You would also think that doing a stop in a well lit area away from traffic would be something the cops would appreciate as well. Safer for all.
Imagine being in the Army, making it through a potentially deadly mission in a warzone country, finally being able to fly back home to see your family, and then nearly getting shot by cops while wearing your uniform. wow.
This is America where black people skin color can cause your death not matter what title you hold.
Unforgivable!!
Thank you somebody finally said it.
I think being black in US 🇺🇸 is like being in a war zone, anytime you can take a bullet !! I thank God for being black in a black land of mama Africa . I feel privileged to be home where our police only pull trigger when is necessary or threatened. Like especially being in mil uniform, no police can be against you even before identification, the respect is that high ! Seems American police are so much empowered even to outrun military personnel which is a clear sign showing broken system of policing !! 🚔 no regard and respect for military !! No way 😳
Had the exact same thing in Las Vegas, they didn't pepper spray, but threw me on the ground and I never opened my mouth. I did complain laying on the 120 degree pavement. They do not care if you are in uniform.
HOW DARE THEY DO THIS??? I’m outraged at the way this soldier was treated!! He deserves a public apology!
No person should be treated this way! Solider or not. That should be the starting point, and then everyone would feel safe while dealing with police. US is completely messed up. Encounter with police should not be something that you need to be scared about, it should be something that installs trust into you.
He deserves more than a public apology.
@@harryerskine82 true that! He should sue them out of their jobs & for millions. This is enraging!!!

@@gwenbritton775 he's actually trying to do that right now.
When cops scream:”Stop resisting!!”
what they’re really saying is “stop existing!!”
It’s the default disclaimer before your a$$ beating.
They say stop resisting while punching a person in the face or kneeing on their neck. The person isn't resisting, they are trying not to die.
They want you to resist
we need to abolish all police.
WOWWWW that’s deep
Funny how the police can immediately identify when a citizen breaks any law but can't see it in themselves.
Umm, the point is, most of these murders by police happen to innocent black people.
@@audhdcreativity5899 um the point is that all the cops present did nothing to protect the man from that cop. Take off your blinders.
This law only applies to who it applies when it’s applicable. So if you get pulled over speeding it applies but the next car speeding by while you get that ticket it doesn’t apply to them.
Oh they see it in themselves, but choose to condone or ignore it. Many officers today are aggressive bullies who join the force so that they can take out their aggressions on citizens that they're sworn to protect. In fact right - winged racists groups send their members to the police academy so that they can infiltrate the police force and murder minorities legally.
@@ericwhite2080 I think you missed the point.
I remember reading about this story last year in details. The Lt. actually put on his hazards lights and drove a short distance a lower rate of speed to a well lit service station.
These officers just totally escalated this situation to a point of crazy. On a positive note, I read the officers involved have been fired or forced to resign.
My problem is the amount of spay he the officer put in the guy's face with no Remorse ....Wicked 🤔🤔🤔
They needed to be CHARGED..ARRESTED..CONVICTED and JAILED‼️💯💯💯
@@ercilinemapp9135 The Lt had his dog in the back seat who was accidently maced as well.
The lady paramedic body language says it all. She knew they were wrong. I had a situation like this in the hospital and this nurse actually took up for me.
That is good, but the police don't like that. There was a nurse in Utah who refused to draw blood on an unconscious patient for the police - she was following hospital protocol and showed the sheet to the officer - but was still taken away in cuffs and then the Lt told her why even though she told him why she couldn't draw the blood. I don't think the police cared that the blood couldn't be used in court. The sad part is the Admin knew what was going on, she had him on speakerphone but didn't come down and confront the police. She sued them and won $500,000 which she is using I believe to help those in a similar situation. The Police officer was fired and the Lt was demoted to a patrolman I think. Police are just out of control
Guns are dangerous, but a gun in the hand of a scared little person with a badge is inevitably deadly.
True that
Did you see the cops arm? Wow.
Good point !
More police officers are killed in the line of duty than any person (black, white, Hispanic combined in police custody ). Stop being an imbecile.
@@rod1514 try again, 48 officers killed in 2019 by a citizen with a gun ,999 killed by police officers. Just an example. Not so much "peace" officers eh??
"It's not all about training. It's about who we are hiring. We are not hiring the right people"

I'm Kenyan too and US has always been my dream country, and honestly, I'm not sure I want to step a foot there anymore
I wonder why my brothers and sisters are so much interested in USA and Middle East yet they are seeing how our Fellow blacks are mistreated
That man is already traumatized cuz of the feel that he's in he never know when his life will be on the line so for the people that you're serving for treat you like that that is a disgrace it is actually sick.
"Bad Policemen cannot be converted but should be convicted" - Amen to that..
You can’t educate or change a sociopath.
@The Wraith of course he didn't. His many times have people been shot because cops "feared for their lives" the moment they lost sight of a person's hands? I wouldn't wanna open my own door either.
@@DiaExMachina All citizens need to learn how to follow instructions from law enforcement agents. There's no law to prevent anyone to dress up in Military uniform. In reality, people who dress in uniform carry weapons and could be a threat to Police, if you don't follow instructions, they will be ready to respond to your next move. Can't blame the police for this one...
@The Wraith The Soldier said that he was afraid to get out of the car. The police responded, "You should be". Would you get out of the car with that response?
@The Wraith you mean while his hands should be in the air.....and still unbuckle his seatbelt?

The whole country hated him? Wow, I would have left it in no time.-
Anyone notice the younger police officers hands shaking while holding his weapon? That's scary.
I have tears in my eyes for seeing a lieutenant getting bullied by cops
It speaks volumes that a man trained to defend his country against the enemy is afraid of the police
If that was an equation the answer would be:
Police = enemy

Imagine being a brave member of the military but so afraid the cops who are meant to protect & serve will blow you away if you reach to unclipped your seat belt. It's shameful, it's disgusting, I'm so fking sick of seeing this.
Stay sick of seeing this. We can overcome this

@FENTENAYL FLOYD for a traffic stop tho?
I pray for that Lieutenant to have a life full of love and happiness😭💞
This young man puts his life on the line for us !!!!! and this is discusting and it shames me that this is an actuallity that NEEDS to change !!!!!. bless you my brother KNOW !!!! that we stand strong for you and these kind of situations need to change !!!!!
If you want this to end, these lawsuits need to be paid out of PD pension funds not by the taxpayers...
Which leads me to this question: if Nazario sued the cops themselves and not the department, will the officers have to cough it up or will the PD pay it for them? Is it possible that Nazario will have a PD-focused suit coming as well?
I hope someone can answer the first question especially.
Ahhh man but then they cant take their defined pension benefit to a low tax state after 20 years
Also the law should not allow an officer fired for these kinds of offenses to be hired in law enforcement again anywhere in the nation.
agree, again tax payers are the ones that foot the bills
Exactly. No more qualified immunity.
In Europe every police officer is required to have a bachelors degree, they do not just hire the first stupid person that shows up
Interesting point. Many countries in Europe, including the U.K. also don't need guns to police. I met some policemen from Ireland and they told me the majority of the force isn't issued guns.
In the usa is high school or GED lol
@@olivierbredenstein2726 in South Africa now a degree is encouraged n they pay for their fees
Education doesn't matter.
Mentality and demeanor does
What happens when you hire illiterates and criminals into police force 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This makes me cry thank you LT. For your service
As a foreigner watching these kind of videos from your country I can honestly say that most of what I'm thinking is that these kind of situations is as common as seeing your neighbor nextdoor. And I think that this gives your country a bad image
It really depends on the neighborhood you live in if seeing the cops act like this is common or not if you live in a poor rundown high crime and drug filled part of a city then yea the cops will treat everyone they encounter like a hardcore criminal. But if you live in a richer nicer neighborhood the cops tend to be more easy going unless you don't belong to the rich and fancy neighborhood then you're getting the "you don't belong here" treatment
If a lieutenant is treated like this in his uniform then absolutely no black person is safe. This is disgusting, I was afraid for him and even in his fear he kept his wits about him and he didn't give those officers one reason to shoot him. He refused to reach for the seat belt even as he was peppersprayed because he knew they would say he was reaching for a gun. This man walked away with his life and he showed so much strength, God bless him and his family.
He already knew that he was about to get paid.
do you recall how our men were treated after the war? This is not new
@@zamorapakalolo1389 your response is pathetic..
What happened to “Thank you for your service” or does that not apply to people of color.
The cops dont see class they only see skin color. I remember in Seattle when 4 Black obviously middle class College Professors were driving at night in a nice car, well dressed, well spoken and the cops stopped them and treated them like they were street criminals.
I am retired military, I had two NYPD officers pulled their guns on me. I told them when I was active duty I had to write a report everytime my weapon left its holster. They told me that they can pull their weapons as they see fit and don't have to account for it. I want to see rules and technology to account for officers whose weapons leave their holsters.
This is the best response I've read!
I remember the time Toronto's ETF (Emergency Task Force) first had to actually use a firearm. It was like an embarrassment to them and the city that they needed to. They were so good at their job they got it done without shooting anyone for years and years. A lot different from the SWAT mentality.
Great idea!
Love this idea. Maybe holsters should have a sensor that will automatically send a signal when the gun is drawn.
@@charlieross-BRM swat is a relatively new thing, developed for EXTREME situations and now used for any qnd everything, any chance they can get to pull out the toys and play army. swat should be ended NOW. so many, many tragic stories from doorbusters- i had a close call myself once. swat js a disgusting mentality that gets people killed, reinforces that ALL OF US are the bad guys to cops today.
That other officer looks about 25, a kid aiming at a decorated lieutenant! Absolutely unforgivable conduct and treatment! Fuming!
Why do we keep seeing it? That's the question of the century
Where were these “badass” cops when the capital building was attacked
At the front of the queue
Because the attackers look like them, they never see them as a threat
Duh....they were the ones attacking?
Posing for selfies and ushering the MAGA crowd, of course!
They went plainclothes that day and raided the capitol with their friends.
Despite being assaulted with pepper spray, then physically, the lieutenant remained 'cool under fire', showing so much more dignity than the 'officers' concerned.
He HAD to keep his composure, otherwise the cops would have inflicted even more violence (and possibly death) upon him.
They cops were abusing someone who literally cannot fight back or even defend themselves.
I agree
He was calm because he was brewing on the inside. His mind was already made up.
@@ShroneJohnson ... I'm not quite sure what you mean... ?
He had to remain calm so as not to promote those ignorant police, and thus not give them a reason to abuse him further. If anything, his mind was made up to *survive* . Yes, he was brewing...because he was frigging scared. But maybe that's what you meant?
The Lieutenant has proper training. That's why he remained cool. That's the difference.
THIS IS HAPPENING WAY TOO OFTEN UNFORTUNATELY AND IT’S VERY SAD I CRY BC I TRULY KNOW THE FEELING. I’m 😢so saddened every time I see this type of thing so very sad. I’m truly trying to help but I am being tortured stalked etc. so I pray that they are held responsible. Exactly AMEN. God bless people who are the victims of violence and abuse corruption especially by police bc it victimizes GOOD OFFICERS MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE GOOD PEOPLE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM TRYING TO HELP THE BEST THAT I CAN THANK YOU AMEN!!!
Thank you MSNBC for exposing this injustice to our people here in America.
My parents taught me to get to a well lit area and never deal with an officer in the dark. I see why...
That was honestly a very smart move on the lieutenants part. For one thing it's in view of any witnesses. Second. All gas stations have a lot of security cameras set up.
Now if this was done on the side of the road the officers would've gotten away with it by turning off their body cams.
That only works if you are White, if Black you’re Dead ☠️
Good for you. You have a good parents and you listen, because if the police shoot in the dark or semi dard place, they'll say anything against even it is their Mistake.
@@furionmax7824 Yes the Coulored Man Victim is Smart.
It should be better for the cops as well. Why would a cop want to deal with a real criminal in the dark? Following a car to a well lit area was no threat to them whatsoever.
Take away their immunity and they will think before they act criminally
Comments like that!!! Make you hit thumbs up!!!
@DeMonso Waters Sr. -
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Yes Sir, I agree‼️
My state of New Mexico just became the second state in the country to do away with qualified immunity (this is what shields police in most states form civil liability even when they are knowingly breaking the law). It's not just police, but also people working for the state.
In fact, police need to be held a higher standard, and if they can't stand up to that, then shouldn't be part of the profession.
Exactly!!
Bad cops will remain bad cops, you can't turn the devil into an angel. These cops need to be placed in jail not just fired and this young man who bravely defends his country deserves a public apology and a lot more than a million dollars. Monetary award cannot replace what this man lost that night.
I am so sorry that happened to this captain trying keep us free l appreciate you and want to thank you God bless you
This is how they act when they know they are being watched...just imagine what has been going on all this time when they weren't being watched
Talk about worthless as well as clueless, loser, you totally missed the point. He was talking about what happened to people before cell phone, body & dash cameras were there to “keep cops honest”.
@kathy mcallister No, unfortunately dash cams are not required throughout the country. Only in some states (if any) are they required.Even body cams are not required in every state and county through out the land. Dash cams would be a much better option because it would show what is happening from all angles rather than just from the cops view point.

As a police recruiter I was told, "Stop eliminating so many recruits. Anyone can wear this uniform." Shortly thereafter, I resigned.
Interesting insider standpoint. Seriously curious, what kind of steps do you think would help in recruiting to reduce problems that blow up into these situations?
Integrating community members in the hiring process? Initial and ongoing psych components?
Also, what kinds of glaring things have you seen on repeat that made you move forward with dropping potential recruits?
Yes, happens all the time in Detroit.
I see where that would have been the most viable option for you. But can I just pose that maybe people such as yourself are exactly the types of people who should be recruiting rather than resigning?
To go along with the other comment, I wonder if raising base pay might be a long term solution to this problem. I know it’s an extremely unpopular idea (for very good reason), but wouldn’t a higher pay rate or at least a different pay scale help in attracting better people to the job and to stay in the job? It seems anymore like not many want to be police officers and their left recruiting mostly trash from the bottom of the barrel. That old adage of how it’s all losers and bullies from high school trying to exact revenge on a world that they see as having done them wrong. We need police. We also need better people to want to be police.

No one person can have an impact when the whole system is broken. It's like bugs, killing one doesn't stop the problem. You have to go to the haven.
Not necessarily true. I worked security at a police department with another guard who treated everyone like crap, as though they were all dirt bags. Me(military, calm, treats everyone with respect). We applied to the same Police department(Oakland). He got hired, I didn't. I also know an officer who told me he just goes being a grocery store on duty and sleeps. With both these guys its apparent they are dirt bags in there regular life. I have seen people that are good people(including myself), Not get hired. These departments only hire a certain type of person and personality.

Thank you for understanding.. police need reform all over the world tbh ...
@@jessyncust76 No they need to fired !!!!
The police said that later in the video evidence when they talked to him finally after they put him “in his place.”
Not because he is black... it's not always ideal to implament the victim mentality on cases you are not absolutely sure a suspect will undergo further discipline due to the color of their skin. But excluding "because he is BLACK part", yes it was reasonable and ideal for him to move to a less-secluded area, regardless of what race he was.
He wanted his 15 minutes of "police brutality" fame...It seems to be an epidemic right now and is just gonna get worse...If this is police brutality then we should just end all police and arm ourselves and take care of our own business

Thats absolutely true. But this isn't all about racism this is about bad cops. There are bad cops of every colour and race as this video shows because the older officer incharge is also of colour himself. This is about control and power and cops thinking they can do what ever they like.
That officer pepper spraying him and then immediately starting "knee-sprearing" him is assault. Unless he is PHYSICALLY resisting and fighting, they don't have the right to use force. Asking why he was stopped isn't a crime but they made it one. This is horrible and has to stop. Shame on them

As a Black U.S. Army veteran; I am more scared of driving to the corner store here in America than I was in Afghanistan during a convoy surrounded by enemy combatants and IED's along the road. When war itself seems less of a threat than living a day-to-day life in America, the situation is FUBAR.
That's terrible and means this country hasn't progressed

This is terrible.

He didn’t pull over when instructed. I understand go to well lighted area. But when the cops got out the car and ask you to turn off your car and drop your keys and hands out the window and the lieutenant didn’t do so. The cops then have to expect you are up to no good. Comply and do everything they say and maybe they will hear you out.
@@REAPERCUSSIONS_ a man in full uniform with a dog in the car. Really
1. The police observed a vehicle without a visible rear license plate pass them on a darkened highway.
2. The police pursued the vehicle with intent to stop and request vehicle registration.
3. The driver refused to stop causing the police officers to become more suspicious.
4. The driver stopped in a gas station and when order to exit the vehicle refused to do so.
5. There was a dog in the rear seat of the vehicle. If the police officers forcibly removed the uncooperative driver they might get attacked by the dog.
6. They threatened the driver with a disabling taser.
7. One officer spoke in a threatening manner.
8. All could have ben avoided if the driver stopped when requested to do so, or if the police would have stayed in their comfortable vehicle and let the possibly unregistered vehicle pass on by. As a result of this perhaps more and more police may simply look the other way.
I try to show my fourteen years old son the murder videos. He completely declines. He told me that they give him nightmares. I told him that it's the last time I try to help him.
"Bad cops are not going to be converted. They have to be convicted ..."
Agree! 100%!
Not only should the bad cops be convicted, but the should be weeded out. I am sure most of us have seen videos of a former officer stating that the force is overrun with whie supremacists, nazi sympathizers and the like. That is the issue that needs to be resolved. The people who can make a difference and remedy the situation don't seem to give a crap. They know whats going on. Unfortunately they are a part of it.
Correction, white supremacists...
AWESOME!
"Why do we see videos like this??" Joe, this has been going on for CENTURIES! It's just being caught on video now.
Yes. It has. My own dark skinned Mexican father beaten within an inch of his life by police after being arrested for napping in his car.
@@adamsilesia5753 yeah I’m sure a middle class white woman or upper class white guy gets beaten on a regular basis for sleeping in their car.
We keep seeing videos like this because the officers involved don't feel any danger or backlash from these types of decisions.
I totally agree..things need to change. Very quickly too!
In the military, being told that they are defending freedom. WHAT FREEDOM? I truly felt sorry for this man in military uniform.
And then after all that they lecture their victims about proper behaviour. It's just...
_no words_
I checked that's also. That tells you the cops believe they were totally in the right.
Women all know to be careful if you ever date a police officer, because of their tendency toward abusive behavior. Men too often like to lecture women about their behavior, without looking at their own. I have always, as a white woman, related to the discrimination & disrespectful treatment toward people of color. Abuse is abuse.
Slavery never ended.
It's just...life on the plantation.
That’s because the LT did everything wrong. Especially coming from a person who receives and gives lawful orders for a living. Why was he trying to reason with the officers from his car?
Hats to that Lieutenant! He remained very calm during this situation... even when he called him “SON”
Such disrespect. I'm so disgusted. As a mother this burns me up inside and terrifies me for black and brown mothers.
Rachel Bundy you are so beautiful
I thought I was the only one who caught that. In Jim Crow they would refer to grown black men as son or boy. It shows you how many of white officers see black men
watch the full video sheep
@@philliptorres5944 What does that mean?
Really messed up. Very revealing and shameful! Multiple officers and not a one did the right thing.
This police officers should be placed in jail for this kind of conduct! This Military Office deserves more respect than was given.
He is wearing the 🇺🇸 flag on his right shoulder and guess what by putting him on the ground, they are throwing down the same flag they pretend to serve. Thank you for service Lieutenant Nazario.
@The Wraith why he has to get out of his car ?
@@dm-ub8me What Wraith is saying if he was sitting on the couch at home and someone dressed in uniform with gun and badge told him to step out his house so they could search his house he would jump up and walk outside so they could search his house no warrant need! Wraith needs to remember this when he thinks the Bidden administration is coming for his guns. Just do what the officers say Wraith, just do what they say.
@The Wraith man go back to smoking your meth
@The Wraith Dude, this man has a gun drawn and feared for his life and yelling to him that he's going to "ride the lightning"? Gtfoh, all this over a traffic stop? Stop with the "he should obey" bs
@The Wraith The law also states that a police officer calling in a felony for a misdemeanor is filing a false police report. These cops are lucky this didn't happen near a military base, they would have been lucky to have an MP unit come to find out what's going on, it would be more likely to be a 'training squad' coming to do some 'additional education' for these officers.
The lieutenant saved his own life. Everybody, remember this, this is our best chance to survive
Had he reached for the seat belt to unbuckle it, this could have turned out a whole lot different. If you noticed, the Lt. was the individual trying to de-escalate the situation, and the "professionals" did nothing but escalate the situation. What if this had been a White man and two Black cops? Imagine the outrage that would be going on, and there would probably be threats to the Black cops by militias throughout the country.
Yep, if he’d immediately stopped, that fake call-in calling it a felony stop was him green-lighting killing a black man in a new vehicle!
A lot of black people who get shot don't act like this.
how about we hold police accoutable .
@@bobmiles7583 hasn't happened yet. Never will.
I've said that the moment these incidents started happening...I was like.."where did they get these people from ?"

If cops pull a gun & act like that towards an Army lieutenant, then what about regular black citizens. I'm heartbroken, scared, & sad for myself, my father, my brother, my aunts & uncles. My children. I'm sick of this. 😢😢😭
That uniform saved his life 100%
If he was dressed in civilian clothing I feel it would've went differently

Just imagine the amount of people who have been wrongly jailed for years off their life in all the years before body and phone cameras
EXACTLY
OMG yes, not only the amount of peope wrongly jailed and serving sentences but the amount of innocent people that died in prison, innocent people with criminal record that will never get a job. Families destroyed and separated. It's horrible ...for the lack of words.
I live in Louisville ky. Before body cams the police was killing every black man that ran from the police. They was always unarmed. The police got away with murder every single time.
@@the7figuremaker Despicable and infuriating 😭
Now we know but that won't bring them back. Every case should be reviewed and families or survivors must be compensated. Their names should be cleared otherwise unjustice will prevailed
Sickening!!!

“It’s not about training, it’s who we’re hiring.” That is nothing but the truth.
Needs to be SHOUTED into the ears of legislators.
I agree completely
oh yes, doesnt matter how much training u have u will either have compassion or empathy, its not a choice its something u r born with but it doesn't come to everyone, no matter who we r or suppose to be we must be held accountable for our actions. intentional or accidental.

@@josieb9402 Because they would have to admit that they was wrong.

It's his right to drive until he feels safe.
I've always said that the police chief needs to be held responsible. He knows who his loose cannons are
Yep
I am surprised that the police chief is not saying his men did nothing wrong.
Yes ma'am...
Absolutely, it's nothing but a bunch of good ol boys hillbilly free for all hiring frenzy, omg!
the problem is by now the reputation of many police forces is so bad that a lot of good people, potentially good officers to be, won't even go near a career in law enforcement. the structures attract bad apples
A commissioned ranking army soldier (2ndLieutenant) is humiliated, harassed, threatened and abused his civil rights by a local police. Smh! The soldier can easily fight them but he chose to be the better man. Mad Respect!!!🙏🏽
How would he block bullets exactly?
@@chilled99 I mean in a man to man combat. No guns.
@@GottuboiBeachVolleyball...🔊FACTS!!@
High ranking? Nope. He's about the lowest rank of officer there is. In the grand scheme of things he's about right in the middle of the ranks, but his rank is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if he had been a homeless deserter, he didn't deserve the treatment he got. The police would save us all a lot of time if they just admitted they pull people over due to racism.
Every cop should have body coms. First words out of his mouth should be. I am a police officer, my body camera is on and this conversation will be recorded. You have the legal right to ask for a copy of this after this conversation. So police are on notice legally impossible to cover up or hide .
I imagine the lieutenant had similar training for being pulled out of a car roadside by combatants. Fear of being killed. I commend him for keeping his cool. Those cops acted like the enemy in war. Absolutely ridiculous.
The police officers still try to lie even when their bodycams show something entirely different. It makes me very afraid of how many lives have been lost particularly my people of color before bodycams. Back when police officers word was enough to go on for what truly happened 💔 🙏🏽
My Dad told me if stopped at night to always pull over in a well lit area. This was back in the 70's.
Exactly. But of course, millions of Racists/Bigots will be what they are...dumbasses.
He passed 3 spots that had well lighting .... trust me

As an active duty service member. I don’t want to serve any more, seeing the climate of America.
Fighting cops?
@@31terikennedy what?
@@31terikennedy I don’t understand the point of making jokes. He said as an active duty duty service member, the man is wondering is this what I go to work for(fight for) meaning he’s in the army defending the country from foreign and domestic threats and he’s wondering if it’s worth it if this is how he’s treated in the country he’s defending. Sorry my grammar isn’t the best right now I’m a bit worked up. This really hurt to watch.
just wonder who was recording this video? i didn't see no one with him but there is a full video of the abuse. We need to know for our own safety and be able to do the same
Wow I feel so bad for him
How embarrassing for a man that you know has elite training to go through this wow
During the video, the cops also asked him to 'turn the vehicle off' - this is a trick question because the moment they dont see your hands, they open fire and then concoct the whole 'I thought he was reaching for a weapon' BS
Indeed!!! Catch-22 and the driver was gonna lose either way. SMH
I agree 💯
Trick No good 🧐🥶
Yup Matter where he put his hands if they weren't where they can see them he was dead
It happens all the time that you try to even just open the door which they insists and scream at him to do is dangerous to just attempt. that case of Floyd is still in court and this is repeating itself. SAD to watch!
"Why do we keep seeing videos like this?"
-Simple, this is America
Sadly, it’s happening everywhere. The USA is so highlighted because all of this crap coming to the forefront. I agree that the body cams are awesome for things like this!! I think it was to protect the officer, but repeatedly has helped the victims of sadistic officers. The white officer was the only calm one and looked VERY uncomfortable while psycho cop was scared and being a HUGE bully!! I’d be going for WAY more than a million, plus I’d sue psycho personally and lay charges!! Look how close scaredy-cat cop was spraying pepper spray repeatedly!! WOW!!!
@@unfailingcolt8928 there also needs to be a charge of animal cruelty as his dog was affected by the pepper spray as well. This in addition I should point out (before someone jumps up that I'm more concerned about the dog) to him being assaulted and humiliated.
I wish him well after his 'experience ' and success in going for these cops both collectively and individually as well as the police department in the state.
I commend him for his reasonableness in the face of the unreasonable
It's worse than in Brazil, a thirth country in the world.
Shame
No this is humanity but we have the power to end stuff like this forever well never build a Utopia in fact I think well burn ourselves to ashes

@@unfailingcolt8928 Not in any other developed country at anywhere this rate.
The aggression is sickening. This is an American soldier!!
Wow I'm impressed with this treatment soldier is so important for country n
That police officer was insane with some kind of power trip. Thank God the Lt. drove to a well lit place and put his hands out the window. He made the best of a very dangerous situation.
Yeah he stayed calm the whole time
Yep, the lieutenant behaved just about perfectly. Despite huge provocation, he kept calm and kept thinking. Maybe he had experienced being in a REAL fight, as opposed to those pussycats holding the guns, who would probably pee their pants in a real war.
The cops insulted him by asking if he was of thr lowest rank when you can clearly see his a LT...
Don't forget that little detail
I sensed that the aggressive cop started by asking enlisted because the cop was probably a sergeant or similar NCO (he said he was a veteran) and wanted to out rank him that way, not even considering the LT would possibly outrank the cop’s military rank.
@@justsnappy That would explain the cop's attitude. Maybe just a failed military career that never took off and blaming others.
