Get out of the car

 For 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario

He was pepper sprayed  

for questioning an authority

not his commanding officer

peppered in "what's going on?" 

as things got heated

"get out of the car"

“just comply” he was 

told, take orders like 

a good soldier, who's 

never told when they're 

marching toward death 

"get out of the car"

forced to the ground 

choking and confused 

still in his camos

too fatigued to continue 

asking "what's going on" 

The officers are out 

of the car, guns drawn

too heated to see the

temporary license plate 

in the window 

the whole reason they 

pulled him over 

in the first place
