Corrupt Officer Tases Black Army Captain on Camera — DOJ Files Charge

Описание: “Get out of the car. Now.”
“I’m actively serving military. My hands are up.”
“Get out or I’m going to tase you.”
On a dark Virginia highway, two officers pulled over Captain Desmond Whitlock, a decorated U.S. Army officer with 11 years of service and two Bronze Stars.
Despite fully complying, keeping his hands raised, and clearly identifying himself as active-duty military, Whitlock was pepper-sprayed and tased on camera while following commands.
Three cameras captured everything: two dashcams and one bodycam.
What officers Blake Thornton and Connor Fairbanks didn’t know was that the footage would trigger a federal investigation. The Department of Justice charged both officers with civil-rights violations under color of law—one of the rare cases where police brutality led to federal prison sentences.
The charges against Whitlock were dropped.
The officers were convicted.
And the case became a landmark moment for police accountability.
This isn’t just a traffic stop story.
It’s about what happens when authority replaces law.
And what happens when cameras expose the truth.
