Black Army Medic Pepper-Sprayed in Traffic Stop Accuses Officers of Assault

“Pitched a no-hitter” having your hands up doesn’t mean shit when you’re still non-compliant. It’s like dude, how many times can you be asked to “get out of the car” before you’re knowingly antagonizing the officers. I’ll tell you how many time, 27. That’s how many times the officers asked him to step out at the 2:15 mark while this dude decides I should use my privilege as a soldier (by saying I’m serving this country and this is how I’m treated?) and then decides to play victim when he continues to disobey BASIC CLEAR orders to step out. Jesus Christ. Y’all will find any reason to be mad. Fuck this soldier, and fuck his law suit.
