ASSAULTED LIEUTENANT FILED A SUIT AGAINST TWO WINDSOR POLICE OFFICERS

A second lieutenant in the U.S. Army is suing two Virginia police officers over a traffic stop last December during which the officers drew their guns, pointed them at him and used a slang term to suggest he was facing execution before pepper-spraying him and knocking him to the ground. Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, was dressed in full uniform with his hands held in the air outside the driver's side window as he told the armed officers, "I'm honestly afraid to get out.”

Nazario got out of the vehicle and again asked for a supervisor. Gutierrez responded with “knee-strikes” to his legs, knocking him to the ground, the lawsuit says. The two officers struck him multiple times, then handcuffed and interrogated him.

While in the car, the officers shouted conflicting orders at Nazario, telling him to put his hands out the window while also telling him to open the door and get out, the lawsuit says. At one point, Gutierrez told Nazario he was “fixin’ to ride the lightning,” a reference to the electric chair that was also a line from the movie “The Green Mile,” a film about a Black man facing execution.

Let us imagine if this happened in Nigeria, right there and then, it might become a bloody affair. the Nigerian uniform men especially the army knows how to deal with his erring internal aggressors but be lenient with external aggressors which is their main reason for existence, someone needs to educate the Nigerian army that it main focus is to protect territorial integrity of the nation and not to annihilate its citizens
