Officer Who Pepper-Sprayed a Black Army Medic Is Fired

[rightwinger]

I provided my source for the statement in post #150
You obviously don’t have tape beyond the driver being cuffed

That's the source I went to and they had the same exact video I posted. So what timestamp did the officer tell him to keep quiet about the event?

I stand by my source

They think the officer conduct was inappropriate

They are in CYA mode

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I am as conservative as one can be.
And this cop absolutely should be fired.
Was this day one training day or something??
They yelled contradicting commands... threatened him twice. "You are about to ride the lightening son".... Victim "I am honestly afraid to get out of the car.... OFFICER... YOU SHOULD BE.
WTF?? "You should be"??????
The younger cop - you can clearly see he is not comfortable in what is happening. His facial expressions say it all. He knew this was fucked up.

The simple fact the cops commanding officer told the cops to let him go.... that speaks volumes.

 

[rightwinger]

I said his safety was jeopardized

Having two guns drawn on you and being pepper sprayed for a minor traffic incident jeopardizes your safety

No it doesn't because police are allowed to use their firearms for self-defense, especially with a suspicious vehicle and a non-compliant suspect. There was no threat to his safety. He was pepper sprayed because he refused their order to exit his vehicle.

Guns drawn on you is a threat to your safety.
The Army Officer tried to de-escalate the situation
The police kept ramping it up

Guns drawn on you is a threat to your safety.

Not when it's a police officer.

The Army Officer tried to de-escalate the situation

By being combative with police? Maybe he should be kicked out of the military if that's what he learned about de-escalating a situation.

The police kept ramping it up

Because he kept refusing their orders.

Still waiting for that timestamp where the officer told him to forget about what happened.

It was a simple stop and officers admitted they saw the temporary tag.
All they needed to do was ask for license and registration and send him on his way.
99 percent of officers would have handled it without an incident

NAACP calls to end qualified immunity in Virginia after police officer pepper-sprayed Black and Latino Army officer

Later in the tape, the officers say they will let Nazario go if he remained quiet about the incident, but that he would face additional charges if he complained. Nazario was later released at the scene and not charged.

Must not if you can't point out where in your source the cop said that.

 

[Mac-7]

cops tried to cover up their actions at the scene.
They offered to drop everything if he would just let it go

Thats not true

There is nothing on rightwingers source to verify that

he is being as uncooperative as the the black guy was

The Army Officer made it clear he was concerned for his safety
He was merely standing up for his rights as a citizen.

No charges were filed against the motorist
The police knew they fucked up and threatened his military career if he spoke up.
The actions of the cop were so bad that he was fired

Good. I have no issue with bad police officers getting kicked out.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Thats not true

Of course it's not true. Colfax made the same claim. When I asked what part of the video the officer said that, he said right after he was pepper sprayed. I went back and never heard anything like that. Wrongwinger is making the same claim, except he claimed it was after the cuffs put on him. Same thing. I asked three times already when the officer make that statement, and he couldn't answer me either.

I love these jokers that come here, make claims, post a source that they themselves didn't watch or read.

 

[colfax_m]

Where did the officer say that?

After he pepper sprayed Nazario and trying to weasel his way out of accountability for his clearly wrong actions.

Went back again and I didn't hear the officer say anything close. Care to give me a timestamp?

Gotta watch the full video. The “deal” he’s cutting him is at about 25 minutes.

You know you're not going to win any debate using lies. There is no reason to be concerned for your safety with the police. He had no rights to refuse their orders. Nobody ever threatened his military career because it's not on the video, and you can't point out where he made such a statement.

They are not bad cops

if you think so wait till all the good cops resign or get fired and all you have left are lifers who are just counting the days till retirement

You gotta learn some patience, friendo.

Why not? The cops had guns pointed at his head, anyone would be rationally concerned for their safety.

He's not cutting him anything. He's giving the moron a choice on what he wants to do. The officer said repeatedly if he wants to get charged, he'll do it. But he talked to his supervisor and they said it's the officers option whether to pursue it or not.

That's a far cry than what you and Wrongwinger were claiming, which is they threatened his military career and told him to keep his mouth shut.

The police department disagrees with you.
