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.
