I’m sure this veteran would wondered how it made sense that he could be defending the country from foreign threats, yet can be threatened and needlessly assaulted by police officers, who are supposed to be defending him from domestic threats.

Nazario did everything right and still!!!

To all that find a reason to defend the police in such situations, please tell me what else could Nazario have done to be treated with respect and have a simple traffic stop not escalate as it did?

Nazario told police that he was “honestly afraid to get out” of the car after he slowed down, signaled and pulled over.

“Yeah, you should be!” one of the officers responded.

This should chill every American!

All the more so because it happened in a quiet town in a nation where violent crime is radically, sharply down, falling 71 percent in the between 1993 and 2018, according to the Pew Research Center. Yet even as our country becomes safer, bored officers looking for action in small towns are getting more funding, equipment, latitude and entitlement.

If a black vet, in uniform can’t be treated with respect, what chance does any black man have?
