"Police Board Takes Action: 2 Officers Fired Over Paralyzing Arrest of Randy Cox"

The New Haven Board of Police Commissioners voted to terminate two police officers, Oscar Diaz and Betsy Segui, for their alleged conduct during the arrest of Richard "Randy" Cox, a Black man who was left paralyzed while in police custody. This decision comes after four other officers involved in the incident were also terminated. The officers were charged with second-degree reckless endangerment and cruelty to persons. Cox had filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against the city, which was settled for $45 million.
