A Virginia police officer accused of pepper-spraying a Black and Latino US Army Medical Corps lieutenant and forcing him to the ground during a traffic stop in December has been fired, which footage went viral on social media over the weekend, a Town of Windsor official said.
Army Lt. Caron Nazario is seeking $1 million against Virginia police officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker in compensation for his treatment, which he said was “consistent with a disgusting nationwide trend of law enforcement officers, who, believing they can operate with complete impunity, engage in unprofessional, discourteous, racially biased, dangerous, and sometimes deadly abuses of authority.” No attorneys were listed for Crocker or Gutierrez, and the pair have not responded to media inquiries.

William Saunders, town manager of Windsor, a small community west of Norfolk, said officer Joe Gutierrez had been let go after an investigation into his use of force against Lt. Caron Nazario on Dec. 5, 2020.

The investigation found police procedures had not been followed appropriately, prompting further training across the department, Saunders said in a statement.

“The Town of Windsor prides itself in its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,” Saunders said. “Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light.”

“Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively,” he said.

The announcement came hours after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam ordered state police to open an independent investigation into the traffic stop.

“The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me,” Northam said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

In addition to the Virginia State Police investigation into the incident, Northam invited Nazario to meet with him.

“Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform,” Northam said, “but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.”

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring had also called the interaction “unacceptable.”

“The video doesn’t show anything to justify how Lt. Nazario was treated,” he said.

What's the point of emphasising Black Army lieutenant? Would it have been justified had the victim been white? Anyway I'm glad the police officer has been fired and this should serve as a lesson to others without sense

Shiit heads. . . .bloody racists!
