Written by In June 2022, Officer Oscar Diaz was involved in the arrest and transport of Randy Cox, who was paralyzed during the incident. Diaz drove the transport vehicle without securing Cox with a seatbelt, and abrupt braking caused Cox to be thrown against the vehicle’s interior, resulting in a cervical spine injury. Despite Cox’s pleas for help, Diaz continued to the detention center without seeking immediate medical attention. An internal affairs investigation found Diaz’s actions violated department policies and state law. In June 2023, Diaz was terminated from the department, and the city settled Cox’s civil suit for $45 million.
