Watch the video. His spinal cord was probably severed at the neck before he was dragged to the van.
“His spinal cord was probably severed at the neck before he was dragged to the van.”
If he was running from a bicycle cop, there was probably a great difference in relative velocities when the cop took him down. He might have hit the ground hard and with a cop on his back that would be more than enough force to damage his spine.
Does anybody know if he was on parole or probation at the time?
If that were true, how is it that a man with a severed spinal cord is standing up in the back of a police van, and has to be put in leg cuffs ?
