On February 11, Peter Liang became a rare statistic: He was the first New York City police officer in more than a decade to be found guilty of shooting and killing a citizen while on duty. Liang, who is Chinese American, was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and one count of official misconduct for the shooting of Akai Gurley, a 28-year-old black man and father, during an encounter in a Brooklyn housing project. In the post-Ferguson era, the case has added another twist to the intense ongoing debate about race and accountability in policing.

What? Mr. Race baiter asking this question?? I guess you must be fishing for "Well, obviously whitey doesn't like Asians either - so they threw him to the wolves."

Yep. Fit didn't you know - whitey hates all those that aren't exactly like themselves............but you already knew that, right?

Can't accuse Fit of not being consistent - all race all the time.

I'm not asking a question, that was the title of the article.

Mother Jones?? I take it you agree with the premise though? Whitey hates all non-whites and will sell all others down the river - right? I mean, you have your computer set to show all the "race related slights" - right?

"Fit = all race all the time."

Why was he convicted?

A. He shot an innocent man who did nothing but walk into a dark stairwell. Liang violated policy and procedure by having his weapon drawn while on a simple patrol and not investigating an actual crime.

B. After shooting him he and his partner did not render aid, instead of performing CPR or assisting the victim's girlfriend who was receiving CPR instructions over the phone he called his union rep.

C. His statements don't add up. He claimed that when he was startled his finger twitched and the gun went off. By design NYPD's service weapons have a trigger pull setting that requires twice as much pressure to activate than a civilian model. It also has an additional safeguard offered by Glock. This is to prevent the exact situation that Liang said occurred.


But of course we know that none of this matters to you because the only thing that matters to you, the board;s biggest racist, is race.

I thought it was policy to have your weapon drawn in dark lit stairwells because it's a sign of criminal activity?

Stop getting your law enforcement information from TV dramas.

You didn't read the article did you?

"On the night of November 20, 2014, Gurley and a friend had just entered an unlit stairwell on the seventh floor of their building. Liang, a 28-year-old rookie cop, was on the stairwell landing above with his partner, on a "vertical patrol" assignment. Liang had his gun drawn, his attorneys told jurors, because the stairwell was dark and police are trained that can be dangerous—for New York cops on vertical patrol, lack of lighting is commonly perceived as a sign of criminal activity.
