Ex-Windsor police officer not facing charges in 2020 traffic stop of Army lieutenant
In a letter written by Hampton Commonwealth’s Attorney Anton Bell to Isle of Wight Commonwealth’s Attorney Georgette Phillips, Bell said he decided not to prosecute following the high-profile traffic stop in which Windsor police held Lt. Caron Nazario at gunpoint and pepper sprayed him. Bell was appointed special prosecutor for the case.
Bell said he did reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to formally request that the office open an investigation and see whether then-Windsor police officer Joe Gutierrez violated Nazario’s civil rights. Specifically, Bell requested the U.S. Attorney to see whether Gutierrez violated Title 18, Section 242 (Color Of Law).
“As such, taking all facts and law into consideration, I have concluded that I have found no violation of state law occurred on the date in question,” the documents state.

Two Indiana cops have been suspended after they arrested a guy on trumped up charges because they thought he was planning on running for town council and they thought he was anti-cop.
You think we’re corrupt? You ain’t seen nothin yet!
Well if he wasn’t anti-cop before.
Hopefully he makes one of his primary goals to being anti-corruption in the next election.

This guy is just the git that keeps on giving, isn’t he?
(The bolded part is a typo that actually fits the sentiment better…)
OK, this is just fucking nuts. Not actually an encounter with civilians, as such, but
Anacostia. Curious. Seems like that is the roughest neighborhood in DC, at least it was at one time, AIUI.
Fuck. Why do we even let police officers have guns?
And that is why every gun should be considered live and loaded.
So the warrant in the Breonna Taylor case was phony from the very beginning. The cops wanted her house so they lied about the reasons for the warrant.
Oh, my God. It’s fucking RoboCop 3.
Surely if someone has the same name as who is named on a warrant that is enough reason to keep them locked up?
Both are currently in prison.
