New Video Shows Dallas Paramedic Repeatedly Kicking Mentally Ill Man Before Police Show Up


On Aug. 2, 2019, Kyle Vess found himself sprawled out on the ground, surrounded by Dallas cops, firefighters and paramedics. Body camera footage shows one of those paramedics, Brad Cox, kick Vess in the head while he was on the ground.

Now, newly released surveillance footage appears to show Cox, a trained mixed martial arts fighter, kick Vess multiple times before cops arrive and seems to contradict official police reports of what happened that day.

The Dallas Police Department conducted a public integrity investigation that, in part based on the surveillance footage, ultimately cleared Cox of criminal wrongdoing.

But the new footage shows Cox kicked Vess several times throughout the incident, details that never appeared in DPD's official investigation into Cox. (DPD gave the Observer the footage on a DVD. The footage was cut into nine separate clips with their own files, and we've combined the footage into a single video.)
