In 2022, Randy Cox, a 36-year-old Black man, was left permanently paralyzed after being handcuffed and thrown into the back of a New Haven police van without a seatbelt. When officers slammed on the brakes, Cox was violently thrown headfirst into the van’s metal wall. Instead of calling for medical help, officers mocked him, dragged his limp body, and accused him of “faking” his injuries.
After one of the largest police brutality lawsuits in U.S. history, the city of New Haven, Connecticut, settled for $45 million in damages. But does this historic settlement mean real police reform?
This documentary breaks down the chilling police footage, legal battle, and impact of the Randy Cox case. Was justice truly served, or is money just a band-aid for police brutality?
