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

My second career, even while in uniform, was as a sworn deputy sheriff.. And these situations piss me off like you cannot imagine.. ANY OFFICER that breaks their oath, that acts like this, that forgets what they represent and the oath they took, needs to be removed from every being a LEO again.. PERIOD..

In the video I saw he specifically said he was scared and the policeman said you should be. That goes along way too conclude that the situation was damn unusual and he did nothing wrong. If anybody thinks his conduct was inappropriate like to know specifically what he should have done.

I just watched to whole video of the what went down.
This is insane. I can't see how anyone can see this Lt was in the right. The interesting point is that that video I saw with was all police cams was narrated by Black announcer, He even thought the Lt was in the wrong.
Bottom line this Lt should not be in the military leading men, if you can't follow orders you shouldn't be able to give order.
I also noticed that right way someone put a video on about the truth about George Floyd, this had nothing to do about George Floyd for one, two, every one from top police to law makers on both side came out against the over use of force in this case. George Floyd did not deserve to die like he did, however to paint him as saint is so wrong and putting him up as poster child of the ills of law enforcement only makes people like me shake their head and tune you out. I will and did put my two cents in that the officer in the case should be brought up on charges, but each case needs to be judged by it's on merit. Oh and to be frank, if the officer had subdued MR. Floyd with hand cups and leave it at that, I had no problem with the force that was used up to but not including holding his knee on the Floyd for as long as he did.
Bottom line like the announcer in the Lt video pointed out to many our trying to get their 15 minutes of fame, or have martyr complex or hoping to make a big settlement..

My beliefs is that it was unjust stop and no foundation. Fairfax Police has bad history of stopping blacks for nothing. Please read Fairfax Law Enforcement history of stopping other race than you make the conclusion of if Lt was justified to be stop.

He responded right, police officers had it wrong

I usually give cops the benefit of the doubt, about 90% of the time. Not this time. On a dark unlit deserted road, I would not stop for anyone, cops included. There are people who pretend to be cops. They go as far as tricking out their cars to look like official police cars. They dress in identical police and/or state police uniforms. Police advise motorists if they are summoned to pull over, they should turn on their hazard lights to let the officers know they acknowledge them. Then slow down but continue onto a better lit area before pulling over. This officer did nothing wrong. As cops approached they SHOULD'VE told him why they stopped him. Most cops always tell you or at least ask if you know why they stopped you before telling you the reason. The sad thing here is the cops lied. They said the reason they stopped him was due to Improper Tags. Yet on the dashcam video, the tags on the officer's car are clearly visible & nothing improper about them. If the officer did not release the video, these 2 cops would still be on the job harassing other drivers who do nothing wrong. Are they racist or do they just hate military personal? Either way, I'm glad the officer released the video.

It don't mater what color/race. if the video is correct and not altered, Then these 'PIGS" need to be fired. What will happen they will just go to another town and get re-hired.

I think the Hodge Twins are right, LT was wrong. https://rumble.com/vfm83f-army-officer-pepper-sprayed-by-police.html

First, the police should have been happy that he pulled into a lighted area where they could see the driver's actions instead of some dark road where they could not see. Second, there were absolutely zero reasons for the police to draw their weapon. He did not speed up and try to get away; he just waited to pull over in a well-lit public space. Finally, while he has a right to be told why he was being pulled over, not following the instructions from the police only served to heighten tensions. It is better to follow their instructions and lodge a formal complaint later. Remember, dead people can't complain.
