Watched this video on Don Lemons show right now, this is horrific. The showed it twice and it makes my stomach turn. A man going hard into a steel door, head first, with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Why in the F is this the way we transport human beings in the year 2022? This man may not be able to walk again, he is apparently currently paralyzed.
Prisoners need to have seats and a seatbelt ffs, not a slippery seat to sit in. Due Process and Rule of Law shouldn't end in a person being paralyzed upon transport. He is in their custody, they are responsible for his safety and a judge or jury will decide his fate.
Just a horrible video to watch.

CNN)A man in police custody slid headfirst into an interior wall of a transport van in the Connecticut city of New Haven on Father's Day, video released by the city shows -- an incident his family said Tuesday left him partially paralyzed.
Richard "Randy" Cox Jr., 36, suffered a serious injury to his neck and spine while he was in the custody of New Haven police, and the incident is being investigated by the Connecticut State Police, Mayor Justin Elicker has said.
Five New Haven police officers, including the van's driver, have been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation, Elicker said in a letter shared with New Haven residents on his Twitter account last week.
"What happened to Mr. Cox was just terrible and completely unacceptable ... and it will not be tolerated in the New Haven Police Department," the mayor said in a news conference on Tuesday.
