End of the day the root cause was a poorly designed vehicle with well known issues. I would not particularly fault the driver, not to the extent of something criminal.

Now what happened after, not seeking care for the prisoner and what happened at the lock up I can fault them for and that realy exceeds a couple misdemeanor counts they are currently charging them with.

What happened after goes to state of mind. The driver just DGAF if Cox was injured. If he had rushed to aid and called and ambulance and such it would have shown it was absolutely an accident but the repeated disregard for Cox shows the driver just didn't care.

I look at it as thus the city should be on the hook for paralysing the guy it's their vehicle without basic safety devices.

These guys are guilty of mistreating a badly injured prisoner after that and should lose their jobs over it.

I dont like how it looking that they want to pile the blame on the cops to give the city an out.
