In June 2023, the City Council of Yuba City, California, approved a $20 million settlement with Gregory Gross, who was paralyzed after police officers used “pain compliance” techniques on him during a traffic stop. In addition to the monetary settlement, Yuba City also agreed to randomly audit body camera footage from officers and review instances where force is used. On April 12, 2020, Yuba City Police officers handcuffed Gross, slammed him on the ground, and held him facedown. Officers’ body camera footage also showed Gross stating that he could not breathe or feel his legs. The officers’ use of force left Gross with a broken neck and unable to walk. He had two surgeries to repair his spine and now needs round-the-clock nursing care for the rest of his life. As of June 2023, the officers were still employed by Yuba City Police. |
