Oklahoma City Officer Slams 71-Year-Old to Ground During Traffic Stop
Body camera footage from a recent traffic stop in Oklahoma City shows an officer taking a 71-year-old driver, Lich Vu, to the ground and handcuffing him after an argument over a citation. The incident resulted in Mr. Vu sustaining serious injuries, including a skull fracture, leading to his hospitalization. The officer, who remains unidentified, has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, and the incident will be presented to the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office for review.
