Basically, what some of you are saying is it would be OK if the cop had just shot the ASIAN dude. Deadly force is deadly force.
Or open season on your father or grandfather, uncle, next door neighbor. All old 70 or more and God Forbid any one of them refused to sign their ticket.
Vietnamese. Surname Vu.
Heck, I'm only about 6 months short of 70.
Today we find out a settlement of $1,000,000 was awarded to the family of a man shot in 20-21 that was having an “episode”. OKCPD has a knife pulled on them, they tased him and that didn’t work, and as the guy turned his back at the right time and catching a bullet in the back my tax money now goes to support the family of said “episode” problem. The “episode” man lived on the streets, his family knew of his illness but they didn’t care enough until he was dead. What BS this is.
Now on the other hand Mr Asian community cancer patient getting slammed is a bit different in my book. Should he have kept his finger off the officer, yes but dang that slab was vicious. I don’t understand where the finger poke equals a possible death sentence. I wasn’t there but I don’t think the guy has Lopan powers with his finger.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a Federal civil rights violation and the cop loses his qualified immunity. If the US DOJ gets involved the officer will probably be toast without butter, and without butter he won't like having .....well you know.
"foreigners against police"
I retired as a claim director for a large commercial liability insurance company. I have seen dozens of these cases in my career. Many resulted in large settlements on behalf of the police department. There is a dollar limit in Oklahoma that protect municipalities, unless the officer is performing outside the scope of his official duties. Once the cities start to see the case through the eyes of a prospective juror, they realize how bad this situation can become. Regardless of the Statutes you cite, the District Court jury decides the damages to which the citizen is entitled. And never forget those pesky "civil rights" laws and violations.Wow sugar coating an assault by a police office akaTHUG on an old man. It will be laughable when this goes to court as such then on to civil court to pick up a check quite possibly for millions.
In this case the ***** cop Will lose in all cases. He’s toast so the department will find against him and he’ll be on the streets looking for employment. The city will settle out of court . Any sugar coating as stated will be humiliating for the sayers.
as it should be. Some of you cannot pick this battle wisely. The question is why is that
Look at the video and tell me when the cop says get on the ground. The poor guy is already three feet in the air.
Here is another take on the incident.
