The Progress-Index
The Army lieutenant who was seen on video being pepper-sprayed and detained by Windsor Police during a December 2020 traffic stop made his first public comments since the video went viral and his attorney filed a million-dollar federal lawsuit against the officers who stopped him. This has truly been a challenging experience and also a life-changing experience not just for me by also for my family, Lt. Caron Nazario said in a brief speech April 20 in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he was honored by his hometown for his military service. Through this challenging experiencem I ve seen an outpouring of love and support around the world.
