SDAAFE demands the common legal standard of “presumption of innocence until
proven guilty” to be applied to the Peter Liang case. While our sympathy
and condolences are with Mr. Akai Gurley and his family, we are deeply
concerned that the pent-up pressure from other racially charged cases in New
York and Ferguson, the grand standing of politicians with own agendas, and
the media hysteria, are having an undue influence in the grand jury
selection and the deliberation process, making NYPD Officer Peter Liang a
scapegoat for larger issues in the country that he is not responsible for.
A prosecution conducted under such an environment has potential for
delivering vengeance rather than justice. If it happens, this tragic
accident would further inflame racial tension, rather than solving deep-
rooted social problems that upset many. We demand fairness and consistency
in handling cases involving on-duty police officers who risk their own lives
on a daily basis. The recent double murder of on-duty NYPD Officers
Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in New York City is a case in point.
SDAAFE is deeply troubled by the appearance of selective prosecution in this
case involving a Chinese-American police officer, while other much stronger
cases against Caucasian police officers got dismissed such as cases
involving Officer Daniel Pantaleo or Officer Darren Wilson. The difference
is so glaring that, during New York Times interview of the Pink House
residents, Mr. Gregory Rosario, who grew up in this dangerous housing
project where the Peter Liang shooting occurred, said “You think if the
officer’s not a minority, he would get indicted? If he was Caucasian, he
wouldn’t be indicted. In Eric Garner, they had everything on the table and
they didn’t do anything. Here there’s no video, no proof, but they
indicted him.”
Public confidence in our judicial process hinges upon fair and consistent
application of the same rules and regulations governing police actions,
regardless of race and ethnicity of the persons involved. SDAAFE will watch
very closely the further development in this case. | s****e
