And as for Peter Liang, F him. It's good he got convicted. If you kill a person by accident then you should be held accountable and that goes for officers and anybody else. You should not be able to just say oops and not suffer any consequences. (Which has happen too many times in the past) his bullet could just as easily struck a innocent little girl or a elderly person that was using the steps cause the elevator was broken. If he wanted to have his gun drawn while patrolling the staircases then that's cool but keep your finger away from the trigger and keep it pointed in a safe direction such as the floor. That's basic gun safety. And if the sound of a door slamming scares you and makes you let off a shot then you don't even deserve to be on the nypd or have a gun. He should have been in traffic enforcement

the worst part is that, if true, he tried to contact his union rep before making any effort to save Akai Gurley

There's nothing to argue about, Liang had his gun out when there wasn't a threat.

People really are gonna say this is unjust? How about this, come together against police brutality period and not just when one of your people get ****ed over.

Everybody wants to be a minority and use the civil rights movement as cover when they feel they've been wronged in America. Where are these other "minorities" when the minority group that drove the civil rights movement is in need?

At least that Chinese American had the opportunity to be a police officer. And he proved to be a terrible one. I bet there aren't many brothers with that job. Also, he shot another minority. The Chinese "minorities" seem unconcerned about it.

It's much more than fob Chinese. Just that most others have jobs to go and aren't gonna burn this b*tch down. Most of the educated ones have six figure jobs and a family to worry about. The general consensus is that all accidental fatal shootings need to result in a manslaughter conviction going forward or else this is racial injustice which isn't even a big deal in the bigger scheme of things. Many Chinese understand that they're foreigners in a foreign land and life goes on.

no, I would actually wager that most US born Asians are not rallying behind Liang. In fact I've seen several cases of Asian Americans calling for his conviction.

And the fob Chinese I was referring to actually did protest, it's not like people who work have so little free time that they can do nothing else.

Not my Facebook friends, not the Chinese forums where all the highly educated ones go to. They're actually discussing more about the death of the supreme court justice and what it means to Asian racial quotas.

No educated non-fob is gonna protest just like no white person is gonna protest because of a hate crime against them. S*it happens and that's life. No big deal. But if you think that they're okay with this then you're more than wrong my friend. 99% will just keep it to themselves.

The shooting wasn't really the issue..It's what he did after. If he at least attempted to save the man, he would've been in the clear.

Absolutely there's something wrong with what he did after. But is there a separate charge for that? He basically left the dude for dead there's no question. If there's a law against that especially for police then he absolutely should get convicted on that. He proved that he had zero business being a police officer.
