TL;DR
New Haven, Connecticut, has agreed to a $45 million settlement with Randy Cox, who was left paralyzed from the chest down while being transported handcuffed and without a seat belt in the back of a police van following his arrest last year. The settlement came two days after the city fired two police officers who authorities said treated Cox recklessly and without compassion. Five officers, including those who were fired, face criminal charges in the case. All have pleaded not guilty.
