“I’m ready to go to jail.”

Lich Vu, a 70-year-old resident of Oklahoma. Vu was stopped by Oklahoma City police officer Joseph Gibson for making an illegal U-turn. Vu, a Vietnamese immigrant, refused to sign the ticket, even though Gibson warned him that could mean going to jail. The two argued and miscommunicated due to a language barrier. Gibson is now under investigation, with body cam footage showing him slamming Vu to the ground. (NPR – Nov. 14, 2024)
