Virtue-Signaling Snatches Legs from Police Recruit

A former Denver police recruit, Victor Moses, 29, is suing the department, claiming he lost both his legs due to a "brutal hazing ritual." Moses, a snowflake if there ever was one, participated in a 'dynamic action drill' designed to teach officers how to handle their duties. It's called "Fight Day." Moses signed up to be a cop. Not a desk worker.

The drill involves four stations that teach recruits how to handle various situations, from escalating to de-escalating force. During the exercise, Moses took a fall, knocked his head, and passed out. He claims the department forced him to continue, and he passed out again. Paramedics were called, and Moses told them he had the sickle cell trait, feeling extreme fatigue and leg cramping.

The real violence began when the medics told the tough guy cop in training that his blood pressure was low but cleared him to continue. At the next station, an officer got Moses in a hold, and he said, "I can't breathe," then passed out again. Snowflake Moses ended up in the hospital for four months, with multiple surgeries, and his legs amputated. He now faces a lifetime of dealing with severe compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, malignant hyperthermia, and hyperkalemia.

Moses is crying to the media:

"I never thought that I would become the target of police brutality as I was training to become a police officer. Now I am picking up the pieces and coming to grips with a lifetime of disabilities."

Boo-hoo, Victor.

His lawsuit, filed in Denver District Court, names the city, the police department, Denver Health, 11 police employees, and two paramedics. His lawyer, John Holland, plays the woke card, saying:

"Denver... teaches police recruits it is acceptable to seriously injure people, even fellow officers like Victor Moses, to the point of unconsciousness, and then not timely secure emergency care to help them."

His other lawyer, Darold Killmer, cries:

"'Fight Day' is an archaic, outmoded, and unnecessary training program, brutally violent and dangerous. Such brutality in training is not necessary to produce good police officers."

The lawsuit includes texts from recruits, with Zachary Vasquez saying:

"What got me was the lack of attention from the paramedics. They should have stepped in way sooner and stopped it."

The lawsuit also claims that the department and paramedics lied to doctors about the extent of Moses' injuries, hindering his care. The department also allegedly covered up their actions, blaming Moses' injuries on 'undisclosed conditions.'
