TLDR for those unaware (CT resident/reporter here): The guy was tossed in the back of a police van (legitimate reason) but was left completely unsecured in the back. The van then had to slam on the breaks to avoid hitting another vehicle (IIRC) and he was tossed and slammed into the wall.
He's now paralyzed, suing the state, police vans are now out of commission and a TON of reforms have hit local PDs as the state looks pretty damn bad right now.
