US police officer accused of assaulting Black Army officer fired

Officer Joe Gutierrez has been fired after an investigation showed that he violated police procedure during a traffic stop in which he is accused of assaulting US Army Lieutenant Caron Nazario.
Gutierrez pepper-sprayed Nazario, even though his hands were raised and he was not resisting.
Nazario filed a lawsuit against the two police officers in federal court for violating his constitutional rights including assault and illegal detention.
While he was not charged in the incident, he says the policemen threatened to damage his reputation in the military if he told anyone about how he was treated.

Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds reports.

That soldier was safer on the battlefield than at home.

US polices have only 6months on training to qualified without college degree. GoodLuck😁😁😁

In order to become a police officer in Germany, two and a half to three years of studying in University as well as psychological evaluations are mandatory. Good Luck USA :)

Watching this from South Africa, this video with many others have showed me that I should not set my foot in the USA as a tourist.

In many countries if a cop similarly assaulted a commissioned officer of the armed forces, being court martialed would be the least of their worries.

Him: "I am honestly scared for my life right now"
Officer: "You should be."

Over a traffic stop where they ended up releasing him without any charges....

[williammarotz]

The statement "I'll destroy your career " by ex police officer Gutierrez shows the true hideous nature of this policing agency and our society in general

[chitocorpuz]

They poked their guns on him & pepper sprayed him while having his hands up out of the car window.
Absurd abuse of authority.

[qasim]

The cops said it was a traffic stop but had their guns drawn right from the start 🙄

What this man did was textbook survival.
Turn on blinkers
Drive to a well lit area
Keep seatbelt on
Position camera
Turn off vehicle
If possible have insurance and Registration ready in an envelope
Don't give consent for anything
Keep hands out the window
Have officers assist you out the car even if you have to fake an injury Say "I need help getting out"

The younger officer fresh out of HS is happy to follow humpty’s lead in this assault. Fire them and drain the swamp.

[hamletcabrerart]

Imagine if there weren’t any video of this, imagine how many people have been in this position without being able to prove it!!! 🤮🤮🤮

[leclondonelectricalcontrac]

As sad as this story is, what is even more shocking is the entire police department has refused to comment. It is very telling of how united they are in this filthy animalistic behaviour.

[jvh-ry]

My God!!! what is happening.... Here you have a law abiding citizen and these two bullies humiliated him for no reason. I feel like screaming... I can't believe.. this is horrible. I hope they get fired immediately and prosecuted.

[murimikaburu]

It aches me to the core when I see such a harmless man being treated like this!!!

[danieljwebb]

That officer deserved to be fired. Imagine serving your country and being given so little respect. They don’t care about rank, the police only seem to care about skin colour

[joaopedro]

If police officers did this to an armed forces officer here in Brazil, it is the same as signing your own death sentence ...

[freeuyghurnow]

The police officers didn’t seem learned a lesson from Georgia Floyd tragic event. This absolutely didn’t need to end this way.

[letsplay]

This man was in full uniform and was treated this way?

I sense a little jealousy.

[markmatlick]

I love the fact that everybody has a camera and are exposing what these thugs have been getting away with for decades.
