New York State Assemblyman Charles Barron warned that “violence is inevitable” if former NYPD officer Peter Liang is not sentenced to prison for shooting Akai Gurley in 2014.

A group of protesters gathered outside the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office after it was announced that DA Ken Thompson had recommended a sentence of home confinement and probation for Liang, instead of prison time. “We will not forget this,” Barron said to the crowd. “Even Martin Luther King — the prince of peace — said that riots are the voices of the unheard.”

“Don’t make us bring Ferguson to New York City,” Barron continued. The former Black Panther told the crowd that Thompson’s “hypocrisy is just a recommendation,” and implored the sentencing judge to “ignore this, and do the right thing.” If the judge refuses to sentence Liang to prison, the assemblyman threatened that “we will shut this city down, Ken Thompson. wherever you go, we should be there.”

Gurley’s family also decried Thompson’s recommendation not to seek prison time for the convicted felon. Hertencia Peterson, Gurley’s aunt, said that Thompson is “just as guilty as if you’d pulled the trigger. We trusted you, and you hoodwinked us. You will always have Akai Gurley’s blood on your hands.”

Riots have to happen if Liang gets off. 20 years or New York burns.

20?

U better hope for 5 because I dont think he'll even get that

I don't believe he deserves 20 years. I'm not sure how much time is warranted in this situation, but he has to do some time. I don't have a problem with accidents happen, however, his actions after the incident were disturbing.

I was watching "The Call" on NY1 for a minute last night, and they were discussing this, and this broad named Lori from Queens, who sounded like a black chick, was basically riding on the same wave as the DA. I changed the channel in disgust, she out there talking about "he didn't do this with malice, he didn't shoot him with malice"

That episode.

The Call 3/23/16

Don't trust a black man with no facial hair...

My older brother told me that when I was like 14 years old and he's been 100% right

Rachel from Canarsie was worse. A fellow Haitian American too

They know damn well they ain't gonna do shyt

Police have done way worse, and NYC didn't do anything, so I highly doubt they will riot because of this

I don't think dude should get off easy after being found guilty. But looking up the situation it really seems like just an unfortunate situation that was more a mistake than anything.

NYC had protests after Eric Garner's killer got off, but that was about it.

I doubt it would be different this time.
