A California man<\/a> who was left paralyzed after he was slammed to the ground during a traffic stop won a $20 million settlement, one of the largest in the state’s history, officials announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Gregory Gross, an Army veteran who lives in Yuba City, sued the police department in 2022 after police officers used “pain compliance” techniques and expressed disbelief when he repeatedly cried out, “I can\u2019t feel my legs.” Police officers also dismissed Gross when he said, “I can’t breathe,” while being held facedown on the lawn outside a hospital, video released by Gross’s lawyers shows.<\/p>\n

Gross was accused of driving drunk and causing a slow-speed collision in April 2020.<\/p>\n

Gross was left with a broken neck, and he underwent two surgeries to fuse his spine. He said the officers’ use of force left him unable to walk or care for himself, and he now needs round-the-clock nursing care for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

“We are not against the police,” said Attorney Moseley Collins, who represents Gross. “We are for the police, but we are against police brutality when it occurs.”<\/p>\n

The settlement is among one of the largest police misconduct settlements<\/a> in California history. In May, the state agreed to pay $24 million to the family of a man who died in police custody after screaming, “I can\u2019t breathe,” as multiple officers restrained him while trying to take a blood sample.<\/p>\n

The settlement will also result in some reforms in the Yuba City police department. Yuba City Police Chief Brian Baker will be at a news conference Tuesday to provide details.<\/p>\n

In the police body camera video supplied by Gross\u2019 lawyers, an officer is seen twisting Gross\u2019 already handcuffed arms and forcibly seating him on a lawn. At one point, officers slammed him on the ground and held him facedown as Gross repeatedly cried out that he couldn’t feel his legs and he couldn’t breathe.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Gross, we are done with your silly little games,” an officer tells him.<\/p>\n

In September 2021, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> signed a law barring police from using certain facedown holds that have led to multiple unintended deaths. The bill was aimed at expanding on the state\u2019s ban on chokeholds in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
