Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond explained that dropping the charges against Sgt. Gibson was necessary because the officer acted within his training, asserting, "I will not permit Oklahoma police officers to face criminal prosecution for conduct adhering to their training." This reflects a determination to support law enforcement officers when their actions align with established protocols, despite the public outcry over the incident involving Mr. Vu, who suffered severe injuries from the altercation.
The incident escalated when Sgt. Gibson confronted 71-year-old Lich Vu over a traffic violation. According to the footage released, after informing Mr. Vu about the ticket for an improper U-turn, the situation deteriorated rapidly, culminating in the officer performing a forceful take down that resulted in Mr. Vu hitting the ground head first, sustaining serious injuries including a neck fracture and brain bleed.”}],
