A video of police assaulting a black military officer in the US was released, causing racial discrimination controversy.
When he didn't follow instructions to get out of the car, he sprinkled tear fluid on his face and handcuffed him, and a black officer filed a lawsuit for compensation of $1 million.

Police point their guns towards the SUV car at the gas station.
[Driver, lower the window and put your hands out!]
When asked what's going on, the U.S. Army Lieutenant Nazario, who was in the car, threatened to get out of the car and ask if he would like to sit in the electric chair.
[(What is going on?) What is going on?
I'm going to put you in the electric chair.] When
Lieutenant Nazario does not get out of the car, asking him to explain the reason first, he sprinkles tear fluid all over the place.
[(Please tell me what's going on. Why do I have to face this?) It's because you didn't cooperate. Get down!]
On December 5, last year, the US state of Virginia was cracking down on the grounds that the car had no license plate, but it turned out that a temporary number was actually attached.
Lieutenant Nazario sued the police officers for assault and charged them a million dollars in restitution.
As the racial discrimination controversy spread, city authorities dismissed the police officer who sprayed tear fluid.
[Arthur/Black Officer Litigation Representative: I filed a lawsuit to stop this type of police assault. We are trying to protect people who think they have done nothing wrong from police officers.] With
police crackdowns that could kill them if they don't follow instructions, Maryland abolished preferential rules protecting police officers who were the first of the 50 states to commit an offense. I did.
