Body-camera footage shows officer violently arresting 71-year-old after traffic stop, leaving him with serious injuries

Summary

The Oklahoma City Police Department faces backlash after body-camera footage showed Officer Joseph Gibson forcefully throwing 71-year-old Lich Vu to the ground during a traffic stop on October 27.

Vu, who has bone cancer, reportedly suffered a brain bleed requiring surgery and remains hospitalized.

The incident began with a language-barrier dispute over a U-turn citation. Vu’s family and local Vietnamese American leaders have condemned the officer’s actions, calling for his termination.

Police placed Gibson on administrative leave, pledging a thorough investigation into the incident.
