A US Army officer is suing two Virginia police officers after they pointed guns at him, pepper sprayed him and pushed him to the ground during a traffic stop last December for what the officers believed was a missing license plate on his new SUV.

"It's unconscionable that they would do that to a compliant man who was serving his country in uniform," said Erroll Southers. "There's just no excuse."

In body camera and cell phone video, Army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario, still in his uniform, can be seen with his hands visible out of the window of his new car. "I've not committed any crime," Nazario said.

When Lt. Caron Nazario said he was afraid to get out of the vehicle, one officer responded, “Yeah, you should be."

“The Court cannot seriously believe that the risk to the arresting officer is so universal that his safety is always a reasonable justification for ordering a driver out of his car?” 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario was ordered to get out of the car and remain the car, but was tassed?
