It would be nice to have some context, such as when this happened, and what it was about.
Thnx
don’t know the link wasn’t posting...
That’s all I got from the source 911
It does say cop throws 70 year old man to ground and that is what it shows.
Looks like it happened on October 27, 2024.
It doesn’t look justified.
Not enough video released to accurately tell what lead to this takedown.
But I hope the old man has a case against a bully cop.
Was that guy on drugs or could not speak English or what. In the end it seemed like he was shaking his finger at the cop and telling him to shutup!. Much of confrontation is missing from the video so I am going to withhold making any conclusion.
Why? WTF?
It never posts in the Body of Thead. Only the Replies.
Unless you manually https format it.
DETAILS: On October 27, 2024, a 70-year-old man named Lich Vu was issued a ticket by an Oklahoma City officer following a minor collision, which Vu disputed. The situation escalated when Vu allegedly tapped the officer’s chest and told him to “shut up,” leading the officer to bring him to the ground.
Bodycam footage released by the Oklahoma City Police Department captures the swift takedown, which left Vu unconscious and seriously injured, with a brain bleed and fractured neck. Vu’s family argues the officer’s actions were overly aggressive and has shared photos of his injuries online to highlight the incident. While police report Vu was uncooperative, his family disputes the necessity of such force on an elderly man.
The officer has since been placed on administrative leave, and the case will be reviewed by the Oklahoma County District Attorney.
the old guy was arguing about getting a ticket for an accident and put his hands on the cop. Bad move.

Clearly the officer just snapped. He went from 0 to 10 instantly. Whatever the case it’s a bad, bad look IMHO.
Man is Asian. I couldn’t hear if he had a complete command of the English language or not but, the cop is in trouble.
This stuff needs to stop and stop right now.
If this man is visiting from a foriegn country, there’s hell to pay.
Rather aggressive treatment for a senior citizen.
The victim poked the cop on the chest which can be seen. And then supposedly told the Cop to shut up.
I didn’t see any chest tapping, only finger pointing.
Old man disputing the ticket with officer. Officer is an asshat and should have told the old man to dispute it in court.
The daughter says he is 5’3” and 115 pounds and has bone cancer.
He is in the hospital, not many old bodies can handle that treatment.
