Gawt damn, why is everyone in this thread making it seem like he deliberately shot gurley.
I know online black folk hate orientals... But at least get ur facts straight.

nikka Please. When you text your union rep instead of helping a man who is bleeding to death (due to your own incompetence, nonetheless), you deserve jail and more. Liang thought he was above the law right there. Also showed a complete lack of empathy, which isn’t a good sign for a cop. At that point, you have a sociopath with a gun and a badge.
I wouldn't have watched the man die & call my union rep. It would have looked better if Liang had tried to resuscitate Gurley or made it look like he was trying to save him. I’m comfortable with jail time for his error. If we can send kids to jail (or their deaths) for shoplifting and smoking weed, I can’t possibly see any legit justification for him walking.
His actions resulted in the death of another person without provocation or fault of the deceased. Officer Liang is solely responsible for the death of Akai Gurley by a single gunshot wound to the chest. These details are not in dispute. And what he did after was the icing on the cake.
