Officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker pulled over 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario while he was in uniform on the evening of Dec. 5, 2020."Get out of the car now!” Gutierrez said and proceeded to pepper spray Nazario in the face just after the lieutenant explained that he was actively serving in the U.S. armed forces.Police said they pulled him over for not having a visible rear license plate, but in the footage, a temporary license plate can be seen in the rear window of Nazario’s then-new SUV.“It is my estimation that the force that the police officer used against Mr. Nazario was excessive,“ Marquez Claxton, director of public relations and political affairs of the Black Law Enforcement Alliance, said.“That this was excessive force use and that this should not have happened in the manner that it did.”According to the court filing, officer Crocker’s legal team said that “contact with Nazario was within justifiable bounds in performance of his duties as a law enforcement officer.”"
