the officer who deployed the pepper spray, joe gutierrez, was fired last week days after the public videoly four months after the actual incident. virginia governor ralph northam said he is directing virginia state police to conduct an investigation. we go now to richmond, virginia, where we are joined by jonathan arthur, attorney for u.s. army second lieutenant caron nazario. can you explain how this happened? can you explain why they stopped him and that terrifying comment that this police officer made as the lieutenant was saying, "what did i do wrong" he said, "you're fixing to ride the lightning"? >> it is incredible, isn't it? thank you for having m th in response to a pump question, "what can i do wrong?" one of our law enforcement felt it appropriate to threaten our man ,. wh virginialled old sparky. there is an even more grotesque layer to that statement when you take a look at the wayhe death penalty has been disproportionately applied to african-americans and people of color in virginia in the south. it is a terrifying stament, especially when you're facing the barrel of a gun.

once again, you're facing joe gutierrez already having threatened to kill you. i think he displayed admirable calm. it's what i would expect from a united states army officer to be able to remain that calm knowing that one wrong move and you're going to die. it was made worse by the fact that we had one officer telling him to keep his hands out of the window while the other officer telling him that, you know, he needed to open the door and get out. my client had to figure out which one of those inconsistent commands to, you know, comply with. you know, he picked the ones to keep his hands out in the air, which is good because, you know, he was terrified that if he was going to move his hands below where officer gutierrez could have seen him to undo that seat belt, they'd have murdered him. and if they'd have murdered him, then what would have happened is the investigation would have revealed that he had a completely legal pistol in that vehicle, and then that's all we would have heard. >> yeah. >> was that the police shot a man with a pistol, not what actually o
