Summary

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond dismissed a felony assault charge against Sgt. Joseph Gibson, a police officer who slammed 71-year-old Lich Vu to the ground during a traffic ticket dispute, breaking his neck.

Drummond stated the officer acted within his training and lacked criminal intent, adding that Vu should not have touched Gibson.

The dismissal sparked criticism from Oklahoma County DA Vicki Behenna and outrage in Oklahoma City’s Vietnamese community, citing Vu’s language barriers during the incident.

Gibson’s actions were initially deemed an unreasonable use of force by prosecutors.

    America is brought low by the petty actions of small tyrants like this AG. He should absolutely face Federal questioning and censure. We stand on a precipice of Liberty each day; men like him would have us all plunge to our doom.
