the corrupt cops of Windsor began the cover up immediately after abusing Lt. Nazario

The police officers did not arrest Lieutenant Nazario and have not filed charges.

---------------------

Officer Gutierrez later told Lieutenant Nazario that his chief had given him the discretion to let him go so long as the lieutenant did not “fight and argue.”

Officer Gutierrez said he would not have to write a summons for obstruction of justice and failure to display a license plate “if you want to chill and let this go.”

If he wrote a summons, the Army would have to be alerted, Officer Gutierrez told Lieutenant Nazario.


Lieutenant Nazario said he would be alerting his supervisors about what had occurred.

“I get it,” Officer Gutierrez says. “The media spewing race relations between law enforcement and minorities, I get it.”

Lieutenant Nazario’s lawyer, Jonathan Arthur, said the lieutenant had told his supervisors about the stop almost immediately.

“He’s still really shaken up,” Mr. Arthur said. “He’s very, very worried about retaliation.”

came from a small town, knew a lot of the cops, had a few truly stupid run ins w them.
not that the chicago cops are nice people. they just get enough action that they dont have to go looking for it.

. . . they would be well advised to:
-- transfer ownership of everything they own solely to their wives -- cars, property, bank accounts, boats, anything -- put it in their wives' names;
-- cash out their retirement plans and put the cash in their wives' names.

Otherwise, Lt Nazario soon will own it all.

i had a run in last summer and was falsely arrested. talked to a lawyer. him- unless you get badly hurt by their actions or inaction, they are immune.
