Night sticks used to get the job done.. the paddy wagons were never padded either.. or had seat belts..
sounds like he got a rough ride .. he was not secured and probably hit some potholes or who knows and ended up either jamming his neck or ??
No Flames Here!
Even police are human, some inhumane as a few get portrayed.. emotions run hot when it comes to noncompliant detainees.
The Paddy Wagon was never ‘padded’; it was named for the Irish, during the New York Draft riots of 1863:

I believe that “rough ride in the paddy wagon” story is an excuse the cops came up with. From the video I saw the guy couldn’t move his legs and he was being dragged to the paddy wagon.
I just believe anyone with any common sense would have called for a medical professional stat under those conditions. To me it’s the same as shooting a victim then handcuffing him then throwing him in the back of the patrol car and heading off to jail.
