Video shows Oklahoma City police officer throwing elderly man to ground

Body-camera footage shows officer violently arresting 71-year-old after traffic stop, leaving him with serious injuries

The Oklahoma City police department is facing criticism following the release of body-camera footage that shows a police officer forcefully throwing an elderly man to the ground last month.

The city's police department released body-camera footage last week from 27 October that shows a police officer violently arresting 71-year-old Lich Vu after pulling him over during a traffic stop. The officer has been identified as Joseph Gibson, according to USA Today.
