Was the officer's conduct acceptable in the video showing his interaction with the Virginia police?

This is a bit long but is a very good breakdown of everything that happened.

Having read accounts in our local newspaper, he did nothing illegal but then he did not cooperate with the police when pulled over. This in turn made the cops suspicious and rightly so.

When I was AD, I had mostly positive interactions with civilian law enforcement. What I did notice from the video is that the 2LT did not pull over for the police immediately, which was a factor in the negative reaction he received. 2LT Nazario claimed he felt "his life was in danger" so he pulled in to a gas station a few miles down the road. From an outsider's perspective, you're going to be in a much better position pulling over ASAP, not miles down the road. Respect goes both ways and many LE officers are prior military, so if you show them that respect and allow them to do their job, you'll see a better outcome.
I don't know 2LT Nazario's lived experience, so I can't judge him. I would have done it differently.

The police were in full Uniform and a fully marked patrol car. The LT. Had his temp tag Illegally displayed behind a tinted window. The police do not know him nor do they know why he failed to yield.

Then the LT. Failed to follow their commands and argue. So the police officers did not know what his intentions were along with him refusing to follow their verbal commands.

The LT. Was wrong! Conduct unbecoming an officer. He should have been punished!

No it was not acceptable conduct by Lt Nazario.

Compliance makes things much easier. We should know better.

Try Comply first then put in a formal complaint if a few minutes of your time is worth it or don't and risk your health and maybe some others. Look at the whole picture just not the part of it you sit in. I would also say we waste a lot of time on selfish pride maybe ask did we serve selflessly or to serve our selves and still serving our selves. I personally will say I feel better when people feel comfortable around me at all time even stressful times

What's really a shame about all this is the 2 police officers were fired for doin g their job and this 2nd Lt probably had no charges brought against him from neither the local authorities nor the military because of PC and his dark color skin which if this was a white person would have had charges brought against them from both.

From what I've seen it's simple the officers caused the problem. You don't make a traffic stop with your guns drawn from a simple hunch...(why did you keep driving into the gas/stop station) Every motorist is advised to stop at a good location so as not to stop or impeded the flow of traffic. As a son of a retired cop and was once briefly a cop I know that your hunch has got to be supported by a reasonable fact or suspicion; which there was nothing at the end of the video. As a cop you've got to know that the citizens have the right to question you. The cop has got to have the tact and professionalism to deal with citizens without escalating a simple traffic stop. The boot LT seems to be a douche as we use to call it but that doesn't give a cop the right to pepper spray him and treat him like crap while in uniform. If you don't know he is a United States Federal Commissioned Officer.

2LT Nazario conducted himself flawlessly. He kept calm and did his best to talk with the officer even though he knew he was not getting thru to the police officer.
