Eric Garner's mother saw her son's last minutes after police put him in a chokehold six years ago. This week, she revealed that another family member -- US Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario -- was also involved in a controversial police encounter.
Nazario was stopped by two police officers in Windsor, Virginia, in December. During the traffic stop, for what police believed was a missing license plate, officers pepper-sprayed Nazario and pushed him to the ground with their guns out, according to body camera footage. This month, Nazario, who is Black and Latino, filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in compensatory damages.More Related News
