Brad Cox, the former Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedic who kicked a mentally ill man several times while he was on the ground, won’t face any charges over the incident.
An initial DPD public integrity investigation cleared Cox of any wrongdoing. It wasn’t until media outlets reported on and released footage of the incident that DFR decided to fire Cox. After Cox's termination, DPD reinvestigated Cox and again found no wrongdoing.
George Milner argued in an October press conference that the former paramedic should be charged with assault to a disabled person. That charge, which carries a five-year statute of limitation, was dismissed by the grand jury on Friday. is also named in the suit for not providing adequate training to DFR firefighters and paramedics and maintaining a de facto policy of covering for its bad apples. In late June, the civil court denied Dallas’ request to have the suit thrown out.
He added, “Cox unquestionably violently assaulted Kyle and used excessive force in doing so. We look forward to bringing accountability here and justice for Kyle in the civil suit.”
