Black Army Lieutenant Held at Gunpoint and Pepper Sprayed During Traffic...
A U.S. Army Lieutenant was repeatedly pepper sprayed and physically attacked by a cop, all because he didn’t have a rear license plate.
Lieutenant Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, was driving his Chevy Tahoe in Windsor, Virginia when cops noticed he didn’t have plates. You can see from the bodycam, the Chevy appears to be new and there’s a registration attached to the window. Once cops lit him up, he drove a little under a mile before pulling into a well-lit gas station.
The cop with the bodycam screams at Nazario to get out of his SUV. At one point the Lieutenant says, “I’m honestly afraid to get out.” The cop yells back, “You should be!”
Nazario had his hands up the entire time, but the cop becomes even more frustrated and pepper-sprays Nazario 4 times. His dog was in the back choking on the pepper spray.

The event happened on December 5, but bodycam video was just released. Nazario has filed a lawsuit alleging a violation of his Constitutional rights.
