KUCI Subversity: Hoang Tan Bui Case Settlement

Published: Dec. 24, 2007, 5 p.m.

In the wake of the week's $950,000 settlement by the Hoang Tan Bui family in the civil suit against the City of Westminster, we revisit the case and re-air an interview with Phuong Bui, the widow. Hoang Bui, a Caucasian Vietnamese, was unarmed when he was shot by a Westminster policeman and run over in the police officer's cruiser and killed. The case stirred Little Saigon and led to protests against police abuse.
