That dude probably safer in a war zone than his own country
Seems so, this was so unnecessary
You know, with all of these wonderful drivers here in the Denver metro area, I have felt the same way more than once & l am a cyclist.
This comment is Soo powerful
Play cod warzone is like this. Lol

Imagine serving this country overseas..... to be treated like this by your own cops at home. So disrespectful.
I know right. This would make me want to stay Overseas!
@@stormy7332 I find it funny you think that’s an excuse for this guys behavior. He was clearly fired for a reason

@@stormy7332 are you f kidding me? No it wasn't.
"I'm afraid of getting out" "You should be" Being a police officer and expecting people to be afraid of you is so so wrong.
The only correct way to interpret that is as a direct threat, which should be reason enough for imprisonment of the policeman that said that.
Dude thought he was some badass gangster. What a disgrace.
Thats the great America 😂 Your soldiers diet for nothing
The guy is brainwashed from all the George Floyd lies used to divide and conquer our American society by the marxists.(BLM)

He went to court after this went viral and the judge gave him a measly 4k :)
"I'm honestly afraid to get out" - "yeah, you should be" That's enough proof for me

Did he seriously just try and bribe this guy to not press charges by saying he’ll take off the handcuffs? Talk about unprofessional . Unbelievable
I hope he takes every damn dime from the police station and county!
He actually black mailed him. They said they would ruin his career in the military if he pursued the issue.
Yup that son of a gun!!!
and denied him water to flush his eyes unless he said he would drop this.
I swear i was thinking the same thing
What a noble and brave Soldier. I hope I could be this calm and collected in such a terrifying situation. This is the kind of man women want, by the way.
that training is disgusting if they're told to handle situations like that
“If you wanna just chill and let this go with no charges filled, we’ll let you go” That’s like a hostage situation.
Virginia
Not like, it is and very telling.
The very same ppl who serve and protect those bad coppers gets treated like this... that copper ain't getting free Donuts anymore...
That statement alone should add kidnapping and mental torture charges.
Did nothing wrong, but well not charge you
That cop being fired is not enough. He should have been charged with assault and misconduct. And for trying to bribe the Army Lieutenant. And the other cop should be fired for letting it happen and not intervening.
Agreed
@@tomzhangus I hope LT. Nazario can read this.
Steve nail on the head! 🙌🏽. Charges should have been brought forward
The cop should have been *sued,* he raised a gun at someone who *protests his country*
Assault? They were just stupid. Fire is enough
I’m sorry for this happening. My heart is aching watching young good men mistreated, disrespected and violated with weapons and clue soul. It’s important to show ppl what’s been going on and unite to stop those nonsense. I want this lieutenant to know we are on ur side.
You should be afraid to step out of a car? That doesn't sound like a cop talking that sounds like a killer talking. Saying that to a veteran as much as saying that to a civilian is unnecessary and puts good officers in a negative light. I heard that and it absolutely disgusted me.
Imagine protecting that country and then get treaten this way, I feel sorry for that Lieutenant.

"I'm scared to get out of my car" "You should be" As an officer, you shouldn't be the threat.
bullies
i dont think they handled it well, but the report is leaving out he was flashed to pull over and drove a mile before pulling over. that makes people nervous of his intentions.
Hopefully soon our Military will finally put an end to our Terrorist Police. Police are the true terrorist and are the real threat to peace, love and freedom.
@@donquixote812 He decided to drive to a well lit area, because cops in America can't even tell what their taser looks like.
@@donquixote812 Actually it was a mile and a half, the guy refused every command from putting his hands out of the vehicle, to not exiting the car when told to, and he had a firearm on his leg. It was a legal stop for an improperly placed license plate in the window of a tinted car. This stop could have been done and over in two minutes, but the guy just refused to cooperate an iota. He should lose his job as well.
"If you want to chill and let this go, we'll take the handcuffs off" This statement alone should be sufficient to put this cop behind bars.

The police officers said "You should be" when he said he's afraid.while aiming a gun. Thats considered a deadly threat.
Seriously!! That blew my mind!
This misconduct should have honestly lead to jail time, the police officers had no reason to escalate that much and the treatment of the suspect was abhorent and inhumane.
We need to see that that officer goes to f****** jail how many times has he done this before the fact that he can do it so calm I guarantee you he's done some dirty s*** as his life is an officer everybody should look into every aspect of his life
Welp except when you a police sadly.
The guy drove another 2 minutes after the cop started to pull him over. The cop has no clue why the guy in the car is not stopping. He seems to be evading police by not stoping. If your the cop what do you think you would do if the person your pulling over doesn’t stop?
No member of the military should ve treated this. I would never, ever treat a soldier like this. These police officers behavior is absolutely dispicable.
On the radio: ‘FELONY STOP!’😎
“Why am I being treated like this?” The million dollar question.
Hello
Foreal.
Because you're black
If que paint myself in white i will be save from that?
Because you’re not complying to the officers command. Cops have cameras on them. The gas station certainly has cameras around. Do you think the cops were actually going to beat or shoot a us army lieutenant? Please

Is a soldier..why he is afraid?
@@robertocruz5984 Really dude? Watch the video and you’ll see the answer.

Partial justice, he only got fired because the soldier sued the police dept. and jury did injustice to the soldier AGAIN by a lousy verdict of $3875.00

but they are all like that
100% of the 2 cops there were 'like that ' 100% of the 4 George floyed.etc. etc.
Is not sure what "not all of them are like that" means anymore. So you mean most cops are not like that or that there is the occasional good cop from time to time?
When a Police officer doesn’t recognize a Military Officer, he’s in the wrong occupation and should be dishonorably fired.
Military uniform is not special you can buy one at military surplus for $5
Fellow me guys 🤫🤭
Just a comment. The entire thing is horrible.. should have never happened. but.. to this comment the seat belt (shoulder belt) covers the rank on the individual's uniform sometimes. It happens.. so it is possible from the coverage that the rank was hidden until he was " pulled" from the vehicle. Again.. horrible and as a military member makes my blood boil
Wearing a camo uniform dont make you special
@@timothyhaynes8575 - doesn’t matter if the seat belt covered it. The cop asked him what his rank is and he told him.

My grandfather is a Purple Heart vet and the cops in ohio did something similar even tho he sued it still traumatized me
Two criminals in police uniforms harassing a service member. Completely unacceptable. As well as being dismissed, they should be charged for falsifying their report as well.
And assault mate. Aiming a gun with no reason at someone and pepper spraying them is assault.
I agree. Both of the thugs should be charged with assault and destruction of government property and I still believe that’s death by firing squad
pointing gun for just only not having tag, are they police or an allah? that fat man is engoying
And the dog got caught by the spray, I believe the Lt. said so in the video.
Jonas Nielsen, I 100% agree with you!
“I’m scared to get out of the car” “Yeah you should be.” That exchange is what happens when you give an idiot too much power and a gun

Another day of law enforcement officers practicing the "deescalation" tactics they're trained to uphold.
There are those who believe that if you make a person afraid you can control them. For many it's true. This why police often use fear to gain obedience.
@@deltatrianda-tria8288 In my country policemen training/education etc takes 3 years. Thinking of what and how they work is duty.
@@anonymouswatermelon5202 The thing is that "deescalation" has its place- but its far and few between in terms of realistic situations. Rather, the proper place for deescalation is when dealing with an EDP. Other than that, it rarely works to prevent a use of force.
@@wizzard4063 Well no- not quite: If I want to get you to comply with what I'm asking you to do, there's really only one way to do it, which is to use coercion. Practical Example: "If you don't put your hands behind your back right now and stop resisting, you're going to get pepper sprayed in the face and it will burn." Now, if you continue to resist and act a fool, after being warned- you simply deserve to lie in your own bed of roses. In this case, the individual was given the option to comply with the verbal command to exit the vehicle several times. What's important here is that, for officer safety as well as law enforcement reasons, this is not the proper time nor the place to go on about "your rights" and "keeping the black man down". Rather, if you THINK your so-called "rights" are being violated (which unless you're an attorney, rest assured the law doesn't give you the rights you THINK you have- this is an area where by all means you should do your research and know the actual law as opposed to myth of what the majority of people erroneously THINK the law is), your sole recourse of action is to file a lawsuit. Even if your rights are being violated, it doesn't give you the legal right to resist arrest, to engage in obstruction, etc. because these things are, in and of themselves, crimes without legal exception. The exception is those FEW states (only two states have a law to this effect to my knowledge, Oklahoma being one of them). that explicitly allow a person to use reasonable force, but never deadly force, to terminate "excessive" force- BUT even these states require a person to cease resisting once the excessive force is in fact terminated. The big problem with this is that the force used must actually be excessive, not merely interpreted as such by you- meaning the federal district court had better damn well agree with your position and version of the facts.
"I'm scared" "You should be" That tells me EVERYTHING I need to know about that officer.

Pepper spray was appropriate and could've been completely avoidable if the man wasn't such a jackwagon from the start. He drove a mile and half with police lights behind him before he pulled over, refused to get out of his car (after being told about 15 times), refused every directive given to him (odd for a soldier who should understand how to obey a command), wouldn't allow the officer to open the door, wouldn't unbuckle his seatbelt after being told to numerous times, and to put a pretty little bow on everything he files a lawsuit despite the fact they let him off with no charges.

Amazing that so many of the comments are just “he shouldn’t be treated this way as a service member”. While that is completely true, he shouldn’t be treated like this as a damn human being.
Exactly. Most videos on KZhead about police misuse of power have loads of dislikes but this is basically one of the only ones that doesn't, I think it's because it is a service member that is the victim. But no-one should be treated like this, not just service men and women
amen
Word!
This comment should've been pinned! Very well said!!🙏🏽😊👌🏽
no living being should be treated like this
Made the right choice of keeping his hands shown. If he tried unbuckling himself to get out of the car, I wouldn't be surprised if they shot him and claimed they thought he was reaching for a weapon with how quick they were to take out their weapons.
EXACTLY. some stupid idiots apparently dont realize that the first order hes given is to keep his hands visible

He deserved that pepper spray trying to go viral and disobeying orders from police, he’s lucky he dint get wasted
In your ignorance, you failed to realize that he had a gun right next to his right leg. Stop watching small news clips and watch the entire body cam footage that shows all of it in context. Then maybe you won't make such idiotic comments.
@@crispinfornoff206 Is that why they tried to threaten him into being quiet about the whole thing? All the good cops. Bootlicker.
They pepper spray him but this man didn’t even flinched. Such a chad.
Black AND Latino? Oh man, dude probably quarter Filipino too
You got the whole squad laughing

Getting fired from his job was not enough. He should be sent to jail too.
Or this black victim player could just do what the police said and nothing happened
@@ricardomeertens9165 why would you get out, if you didnt do anything?
@Kaiser24 In vehicles with dark-tinted glass? Yeah...
@@tsresc Is that a crime? If so who was the injured party?
@@ricardomeertens9165 If I ask you to eat your poop would you do it right away? ofcourse you'll ask first why.
That odd creature in the police uniform needs: 1. Prison time for this illegal assault & battery, and 2. A chin
Disgusting behaviour. Good luck to the army officer sueing them.
This was sad. The officer knew he messed up “ if you don’t report this I will get you a bottle of water” both officers needed to have been fired and in jail for assault.
The younger guy is still in training. Watch how he reacts throughout the video. You can tell he knows it's wrong, but doesn't want to challenge his FTO.
Why both?
@@bellatordei3440 pretty self explanatory. If you see someone doing something wrong you stop them. At no point did the officer call for a supervisor or superior. He completely backed his partner up. He should loose he job to.
@@nunyabizness9400 he didn’t say anything to the other officer. What was the reason for all of this. He did not stop the assault of a unarmed person during a traffic stop. He never called for a superior officer nor did he point out the he could see the temp tags. His “ignorance” isn’t an excuse. This shouldn’t have happened.
Crazy how he’s only allowed water and to be treated as a human if it benefits them scumbags
What a shame. A man in uniform behaving like this to another. I can Imagine how they treat civilians with no respect whatsoever.
Exactly!! Just think about what doesn’t get recorded for the average citizen in a low income community definitely 5-10 years ago before body cam
@@willifieldedouard7847 this shows how many white & influential ppl they r letting off and how many underprivileged ppl r been harassed for no reason each day. Such a disgrace to that hard-earned uniform.
Yeah, it especially makes me sad to think how many people this clearly crooked officer has mistreated and or bribed in the past. Thank God somebody was able to keep their calm and know to record it and get this officer off patrol duty.

He shouldn't be treated this way. This is bothered me.
That was so humiliating and sad broke my heart
*How it should've went:* "We pulled you over because there was no plate but, we can see that there's one on the back window. Thank you for your service and have a great night."
I think it was staged

Thank you
@@KD-xj6yj of course you would think that, to conveniently dismiss this because that narrative will fit your view of the world
plain and simple
To see a veteran being treated in this manner turns my stomach! This military officer is in uniform yet this cop treats him like trash! As a fellow veteran this sickens me!
drive fast = suspect, drive slow = suspect...
The guy went on a power trip. Plain and simple. “Obey!” Yikes. Talking to a grown man like he’s a dog. That’s what’s wrong with police today.
Fr. These cops are scumbags
How u supposed to talk to suspects that keep driving for a mile and a half while u blared your sirens?? "Please get out the car suga."
People would do what they are told would have this problem, u mess with the bull u get the horns
That cop is a weak, insecure wimp who just wanted to feel powerful by abusing an innocent civilian. I strongly believe a lot of people become cops because they want to feel some sense of power to compensate for their insecurities that keep eating away at them.
@@lee-226 Hey, he has right to drive his car to safe place. You don't know?
is this fun for cops? i’m starting to feel like cops enjoy scaring people and making them miserable instead of actually doing their job
People are saying It for a long time...now we have much more cameras and aggressions being recorded
You’re absolutely right
They've got nothing better to do.
No just idiots
well said
“You should be” is insane
So shameful get this man paid
