Officers like this need to be arrested. Perhaps a proper arrest record would prevent them from getting work where they violate laws and hurt innocents. Note as of right now they have not even been disciplined.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Body camera video from Colorado Springs police officers shows the moments officers used a Taser on a Marine veteran in his daughters hospital room after refusing to hand over personal property to officers who failed to present a warrant, according to court documents.
In April of 2019, Carl Anderson Jr.s daughter was flown to UC Health Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs. Andersen says his fiancée accidentally hit his daughter with a vehicle while pulling out of the driveway.
They were not arresting C.J. [Andersen] they were not arresting anyone so police have absolutely no right to demand personal property from anyone absent a warrant, Lane said.
On July 13, 2020, Andersen filed a complaint against the City of Colorado Springs, Teller County and the officers involved in the interaction. The lawsuit claims the officers used violent force and unlawfully arrested Andersen without probable cause or suspicion that he had committed any crime while unarmed.
