Shocking Video Released Showing Cops Tasing A Marine Vet In His Infant Daughter's Hospital Room, Massive Lawsuit On The Way

A Marine veteran was tased twice and taken into custody by a sheriff’s deputy in Colorado Springs after he refused to hand over his phone while waiting with his 19-month old daughter, according to a shocking video of the incident.

Carl E. Andersen Jr., an upstanding father and man, was waiting in the hospital with his daughter Charlotte after his fiancé, Carissa Hiteshew accidentally struck her with a car on April 17th.

Andersen, who was arrested and then interrogated by five officers without being read his Miranda rights, has filed a lawsuit against Colorado Springs' Teller County. In March of this year an officer attempted to have Andersen's case dismissed on the grounds that he never demonstrated police were inadequately trained in their work with him.

According to Andersen, the arresting officers had not read him his Miranda Rights during interrogation or arrest--and charges for which they held no ground would later be dropped anyway.

“What the police in my particular story – in my case – did was wrong, and they need to be held accountable,” Andersen said. “The point I’m trying to make is that if more officers were held accountable for their actions by other police – good police who are out there – we might be having a little less strife in our nation at the moment.”
