Officer
Peter Liang's conviction:
Officer Peter Liang’s indictment is a grave miscarriage of justice,
anchored by the loss of an innocent man, Akai Gurley, whose death has
devastated a family, community and our nation. While we can do and say
nothing to bring Mr. Gurley back, we can and must do all that we can to
prevent the further compounding of tragedies, by protesting Officer Liang’s
conviction.
The facts of this case indicate that this shooting was a tragic accident.
Officer Liang’s bullet discharged into a wall, and ricocheted into Mr.
Gurley, who was merely walking in a dark stairwell. No altercation occurred
between the two, Mr. Gurley was not armed, and Officer Liang didn't aim the
gun he accidentally set off. In fact, he didn’t even know that Mr. Gurley
had been shot until later. These facts never indicated that Liang knew or
should have known that his actions would result in the death of an unarmed,
innocent man.
Unfortunately, this tragedy occurred in a political environment where
tensions between police officers and communities of color are at an all time
high. Officer convictions are still extremely rare – and, perhaps, rarer
than they should be. Liang’s case can only be viewed in this highly
politicized context, as he has become the scapegoat for a flawed criminal
justice system.
This case has set off a flurry of activism on both sides, as outlined in the
NY Times article below. We, as a society, have a great deal of work to do
to ensure that our criminal justice system treats everyone, regardless of
their skin color, race, or ethnicity, with dignity and respect. Pinning the
weight of past inequalities on one rookie Asian officer, however, is not the
path to justice. Revenge, yes. Justice, no.
Until we get this equation right, there will never be true justice; only
actions and reactions that move us further from resolution. I stand with the
tens of thousands of protestors across our nation who urge the New York
criminal justice system to seek real reform, rather use Officer Liang as a
temporary, mollifying scapegoat. | Z**********g

发帖数: 2565 | 8 同学们，为梁警官翻案，这个就是切入点:
医院要是派实习医生主刀大手术，病人出了事难道实习医生要负全责？生产队派个新
农民指导种植，秋天颗粒无收难道新农民要顶缸？
训练不足的人，一旦出点事就惊慌失措，脑子空白，发懵误事，这个是人之常情。何
况关乎生命？梁警官作为实习警察，确确实实就是被警署当做替罪羊了。
NYPD应该勇敢负起责任，惩前毖后，防止类似的悲剧发生。 |
