Virginia’s attorney general sues town where a police officer appeared to threaten the execution of a Black Army lieutenant during a traffic stop, alleging that the city's police department engages in a broader pattern of discriminatory policing.
during a traffic stop, alleging Thursday that the city's police department engages in a broader pattern of discriminatory policing.
Nazario's traffic stop occurred Dec. 5, 2020, in the town of Windsor, about 30 miles west of downtown Norfolk, when officers pulled him over for not having a license plate.A lawsuit filed earlier this year by Nazario against Windsor officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker alleges excessive force and other constitutional violations, and claims the officers struck Nazario with their knees after he was “compliant and blinded” by pepper spray.
The video showed Nazario saying he was afraid to get out of his car and officers pepper spraying him.Their lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday, but in court filings Gutierrez and Crocker denied the allegations in Nazario's suit, saying they used"reasonable" force and did not violate his rights. Gutierrez also denied that he was planning to execute Nazario, the filing says.
The suit also alleges that officers disproportionately search Black motorists and that the department provided different traffic stop and citation data to local and state authorities.
