Denver Police Recruit Sues Over 'Fight Day' Incident

Victor Moses, a former Denver police recruit, has filed a lawsuit after a training exercise known as 'Fight Day' left him catastrophically injured and ultimately led to the amputation of both his legs. The lawsuit alleges that during the training, aggressive officers repeatedly knocked him down and paramedics ignored clear medical warning signs, including his sickle cell trait and low blood pressure. Despite collapsing and losing consciousness multiple times, Moses was pressured to continue the exercise, which the complaint describes as a 'barbaric hazing ritual.' Moses claims he was subjected to excessive force that resulted in severe medical conditions and permanent disability. The Denver Police Department and Denver Health have declined to comment on the pending litigation. Moses is now suing the city, several police officers, and the paramedics involved for their roles in the incident.
