NYPD killed another unarmed black man, cop claims he was "startled"

Eventually change will come.

Rookie cop who shot unarmed Brooklyn man was likely in breach of NYPD protocol: police source
Probationary Officer Peter Liang should have had his Glock 9-mm. pistol in its holster, unsnapped and ready to be drawn — but not in his hand, a high-ranking police source said.

The rookie cop who shot an unarmed Brooklyn man likely was in breach of NYPD protocol before he pulled the trigger, a police source said.

Probationary Officer Peter Liang should have had his Glock 9-mm. pistol in its holster, unsnapped and ready to be drawn — but not in his hand.

“Bad tactics,” the high-ranking police source said, adding that wasn’t Liang’s only apparent problem.

“You can teach tactics all day every day, but you can’t teach heart. If you’re scared, no tactic in the world is going to change what you do. If you don’t have heart, tactics aren’t going to matter.”

He said the officer, who joined the force last year, probably got startled when he ran into Akai Gurley, 28, in a dark stairwell of the Pink Houses in East New York, Brooklyn, Thursday night.

“The cop probably had his finger on the trigger and flinched,” the source said.

“He’s going to get fired.”

Meanwhile, local politicians expressed their outrage and urged NYPD reform.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams — himself a former cop — called the tragedy “a teaching moment” for the NYPD.

He said he urged NYPD brass to match more rookies with vets.

He added that Liang should not be allowed to continue working as a cop, even if he is exonerated.

“I don’t believe there is an exoneration for taking away an innocent life,” Adams said.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said he had met with Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson and was confident the incident would be properly investigated.

Still, he slammed Liang.

“This death appears to me to be unprovoked, unnecessary and unjust. And the community is sick and tired of being sick and tired of these types of violence,” Jeffries (D-Brooklyn) said.

Update.

This reminds me of the young Brooklyn Kid that innocently opened a project roof door, and a Pig

blast him away for no fukking reason. Or Diallo, reaching for his wallet, and getting obliterated with 41 shots

Stop.

The cops even said it was a complete accident.

In all quotes.

There nothing unresolved here.

Yeah I never made a claim about this case being an accident or not. I said the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases are being misreported by the media. Both juries had every bit of evidence needed to find them (zimmerman and Ferguson cop) non guilty.

Killing cops or rioting is dumb as fukk.News flash. One white cop killing one black guy does not mean every cop is racist. THe fukk is wrong with yall, seriously?

We all know none of you would put your lives on the line to PROTECT your community like a cop. Yeah who do you think you call when your door gets broken in? All yall want to do is destroy shyt mindlessly. fukkin pathetic, do some research, channel your anger somewhere where its needed, all you fools are doing is pushing people away that believe in the same shyt you do.

 

[CAC Dogg]

Police officers being outside the scope of the law while being empowered to "enforce" it still bugs me out. He committed murder and should be put in prison. The same as any other citizen in this country.

But hey, walk around with a gun drawn in a residential neighborhood and claim accidental death as long as the victim is the right color. If this happened in Park Slope or Williamsburg Liang woulda got fired and they'd be trying to freeze his bank account right now.

Apparently you don't get the difference between murder and man slaughter. Pretty big distinction. You can claim accidental death no matter what color they are. Are you that dense? Cops do a dangerous job you fool, they don't just sit on the fukkin internet and run their mouths about bullshyt.

 

[LV Koopa]

no shyt they do a dangerous job, that's why they are trained to deal with civilians. But you trying to justify this idiot shooting in the dark like the hoe you are. Keep it movin phaggot.

 

[CAC Dogg]

To be clear, I am sure there are a number of racist cops in the US, especially in the East.

But what the fukk do yall think mindlessly burning shyt and attacking innocent people will accomplish. Did you forget you were supposed to be mad about innocent people getting killed to begin with?

And why is it every time a white dude kills a black guy hes a racist? Blacks kill each other 8x more often than white's kill blacks. Black cop kills a black guy, no one gives a fukk. Black cop kills a white, mexican, asian, no one gives a fukk. BUT OH NO NOT A WHITE ON BLACK CRIME THAT IS STATISTICALLY UNCOMMON!!!! RIOT TIME! Come to grips with reality. Yeah there are the cases like Diallo, Mumia Abu Jamal, I know, but you have to realize its a numbers game and there aren't that many racist cops in the US anymore.

It's like none of you are even thinking about the consequences of your action and are just mindlessly following the herd. shyt pisses me off. Get a fukking grip before more innocent people die, they are dying because of you fools, not Zimmerman.

No, I ain't trying to justify this case, I am talking about other cases. I am just saying this case doesn't indicate that there is a significant amount or racist cops in the US, and that Trayvon and Michael Brown were obviously putting themselves in a situation where they were legally able to be killed under established self defense law.

You guys really have no fukking clue how dangerous it is to be a cop, especially with schizophrenic maniacs like yourselves running around killing people for their skin color or wearing a badge. Michael Brown would have killed that cop in one blow, lets be real, Zimmerman almost died -the only witness confirmed this, stop lying to yourselves and face the facts.

SHow me a case where an innocent person died and the criminal didn't recieve punishment, and ill help you make sure he comes to justice, regardless of race. Any reasonable person would do the same, what I am not going to do is go be violent to innocent people cuz im mad.

 

[LV Koopa]

Did you see me call the cop racist? Stop with the fear tactics. Police officers that are shooting in the dark are a fukking liability and need to be punished. Stop with the "but it's dangerous out there!" scooby doo talk. That's what you are trained for. You fukked up - be accountable.

Lol @ MB woulda killled the cop in one blow. Shut the fukk up idiot.

Reference black on black crime to deflect from cops killing unarmed civilians brehs

 

[CAC Dogg]

You aren't unarmed when you are 300 pounds charging someone and just displayed violence at the convenience store that you just robbed.

You aren't unarmed when you are smashing someone's head into concrete. Wake up and stop hiding behind misusing words.

Yeah you're missing something important, probably cuz you so angry. There isn't just a magic Hogwarts school of cop training where they magically all get defense shields that protect them from schizophrenic psychopaths like yourself who will shoot them from a dark alley. They also don't owe you, or anyone like you, anything, and they don't need to irrationally risk their lives to prove they aren't racist and hold their fire until they get shot first. No, I am not sticking up for this cop, I have no idea what actually happened. But to say there is no reason a cop could shoot someone who doesn't have a gun as self defense, is beyond idiotic. You aren't even living in the real world, kid.

You obviously never been in a street fight or seen a three hundred pound+ person punch. If it didn't kill him outright, it would have easily been enough to knock him out so he could get his gun. Once you stop living at moms and need to get a job try going into the police force and realize the average cop deals with more on a daily basis than you do in your whiny ass life.

I bet a white cop shot him and blamed the Asian cop

 

[LV Koopa]

So now Mike Brown is Goku? Unarmed means he didn't have a weapon stop the bullshyt. Wilson is a big dude himself but he's warranted on violence because the other dude was bigger than him? You sound stupid.

"So now Mike Brown is Goku?"

no but either is the cop


No dawg, that's not what unarmed means. You are the one that brought up cop training, their training tells them this:

"The use of deadly physical force is necessary to defend the police officer or another person from what the officer reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of deadly physical force."

 

[LV Koopa]

So how does that apply to Officer Liang shooting a man in the dark, playboy?
