2022-06-29
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Richard Cox, 36, was paralyzed after hitting his head in a New Haven police van following his arrest for possession of an illegal firearm

  • Police footage shows the moments Cox hit his head when the vehicle came to a sudden halt

  • Officers didn't believe Cox was unable to move and proceeded to drag him out of the van rather than waiting for medical professionals to arrive

  • Cox is currently fighting for his life at a local hospital and has undergone multiple surgeries

  • Attorney Ben Crump, who represented the families of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, and Trayvon Martin, is a part of Cox's legal team
