About Ex-NYPD officer Liang event, here is some clarifications: As Asian
American community, we never try to seek for "white privileges" in any form.
Matter of fact, our community members often are victims of police brutality
and system discrimination in many situations. However, Officer Liang's case
isn't police brutality at all -- a person's gun misfired with no intention
to shoot anyone, the bullet bounced after hitting a wall and just an other
person apparently standing the new direction of bullet traveling. It's like
my car hits black ice, spinning into a tree, the tree falls randomly and
kill a person who just stands there. It is a pure tragic accident, nothing
more. Normally there's no way that person be charged in criminal case but a
civil negligent case. The problem is, this time the person with a gun is an
Asian rookie cop and the person who got shot is an African American. Under
current political environment, it becomes a perfect scapegoat case -- The
NYC DA office can make up the face they lost in Eric Garner and so many
other none charged police brutality cases, while show how "justice" they can
bring to African American community, while the NYPD union can sacrifice
this Asian rookie without much political consequences -- since our Asians
are always quite with no complain to the unfair treatment for so long, we're
the easiest tool to be used. Therefore, the case is painted as "police
brutality" by NYC DA office and media while NYPD union simply withdrew their
support to officer Liang in order to throw him under the bus. Is
scapegoating justice? Is revenge mentality justice? I don't think so. A
convection of 2nd degree manslaughter to officer Liang is only a cover up, a
cover up to the incompetency of NYPD training program (both Liang and his
rookie partner have CPR certifications but with no actual CPR knowledge due
to designed training cheat), dispatch practice (2 rookies perform vertical
patrol in one of most dangerous area with no experienced officer supervision
), NYC's lack ability to maintain basic infrastructures in its poor area (
the light of incident building went out for months) and DA's lack of ability
to bring real police brutality cases into justice system. Yes, we are
protesting, but we're protesting the system, for those minority officers are
unfairly treated and scapegoated by the system, for our kids may interest
in law enforcement career in the future, for the real justice can bring to
our society. We are the model and silent minority, but from now on, we are
silent no more. |
