OKC police officer slams old guy unconscious

[Lightsluvr]

From NonDoc: "Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna has charged Oklahoma City Police Department Sgt. Joseph Gibson with one count of aggravated assault and battery for throwing 71-year-old Lich Vu to the ground during an Oct. 27 argument about a traffic violation.


Vu has remained hospitalized with face and neck fractures and a brain bleed, Behenna said in a press release announcing the charge Thursday afternoon.


“The Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office takes all use-of-force incidents very seriously,” Behenna said. “We evaluate the law and the facts in each individual case, and in this particular case determined the officer’s actions were an unreasonable use of force.”


As documented in body camera and security camera footage (embedded above), the Oct. 27 altercation occurred as Gibson attempted to issue Vu a citation for his involvement in a minor traffic accident along Northwest 39th Street in Oklahoma City."

Seems like fair charges to me. Heck, even my dog is mature enough to not bite an aggressive little dog. A little dog will run out and full on attack and he will just evade or paw him down. That officer lost his temper and hurt that man for no reason. Surprised so many think he didn't do anything wrong.

I for one am happy to see this man charged,,,
I'll be even happier when he's convicted.

Finally some action against this goon who wears a badge. Bad cop finally caught. Now send the S** to the place he belongs and nail the city for the poor judgement of hiring him in the first place. Truly one bad apple off the streets

Makes you wonder how many other victims of this tyrant are out there. Throw the goon in prison and fire whoever hired this thug.
I wonder what the little punks parents think about him hospitalizing an 80lb old man. What a disgusting little clown with a badge.

What law did he break to be slammed to the ground, causing near death injuries?

Okc Pd has been making news on a regular basis now.

 

[WoodsCraft]

What law did he break to be slammed to the ground, causing near death injuries?

He committed a felony and I posted it early on in this thread. the exact statute chapter and verse . It is a felony in Oklahoma to touch a cop responding to a call. I also said earlier that while the officer did over react it doesn't nullify what the old man did . If they're gonna charge the cop they should absolutely charge the old man to the extent allowed by law for assault on the officer


Justice is supposed to be blind not woke .


Also for everyone here who keeps posting the civil rights lawyer, for an attorney he seems to know jack squat about Oklahoma Law because refusing to sign / accept a citation is an arrestable offense which is how this mess got started even before the old man touched the cop.
