Lawsuit: Windsor police officers threatened man and his career during traffic stop https://www.wavy.com/... Videos are hard to watch.

A second lieutenant in the U.S. Army is suing two Town of Windsor police officers over a traffic stop during which the officers drew their guns, pointed them at him and used a slang term to suggest he was facing execution.

The lawsuit said after Crocker turned on his cruiser’s blue lights, Nazario traveled less than a mile and slowed down until he pulled into a BP gas station. Nazario later told the officers he wanted to stop in a well-lit area.

At that time, the officers decided to classify the traffic stop as “high risk” because, according to officer Crocker’s report on the stop, Nazario was “eluding police” and his SUV’s window tint prevented officers from seeing inside.

If he was white...

This time it was in Virginia, not a notoriously racist state, but still...

I would say that racism is still quite alive and thriving in Virginia. It may not be as overt and in your face as when I moved here, but there are still plenty of viciously hateful people around who would be only too happy to restart lynchings.

Yes, but Virginia is not presently notorious for it.

Very sad situation.
