Change title to just "Michael Cox"

Maybe we need to update the title to this to just Michael Cox. Also could use an expansion. He was just made the Chief of Bostons police department. ^[1] ContentEditman (talk) 16:08, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any objection to renaming Michael Cox (Law Enforcement)? Since the beating part is not the main story anymore and he is Commissioner of the BPD now. The notability is more for his work in Law Enforcement than that of his assualt and cover up by other police officers.ContentEditman (talk) 14:01, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article that was about the Beating of Michael Cox has now been moved to Michael Cox (police officer), after a short stint as Michael Cox (Law Enforcement) because this person is notable for more than one event. This means this article should become a biography of a living person. The article about his son, who is also called Michael Cox is, arguably, just as notable, along with numerous other people also called Michael Cox, which is the disambiguation page for this name. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 03:09, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
