纽约市华裔议员陈倩雯改口，呼吁轻判梁彼得。这条消息让人惊掉眼镜。早知今日，何必当初那么凶狠地要求惩罚因为意外事故造成死亡的新手警察呢？她这个变化是因为声势浩大的民意的压力使她良心发现呢？还是政客见风使舵／从善如流？终于认识到让自己人作替罪羊不是什么好事？总之，她不再站在梁警官的对立面，这个改变应该是值得肯定的。
报道这条信息的记者卓乐茜发问：元芳你怎么看？
SOHO — Councilwoman Margaret Chin issued a statement requesting "leniency" in the sentencing of the former NYPD officer convicted of killing an unarmed black man in a Brooklyn public housing stairwell.
Peter Liang shot Akai Gurley while patrolling a dimly lit NYCHA stairwell in 2014. The rookie officer was found guilty earlier this month of manslaughter by a mostly white jury and now faces up to 15 years in prison.
Chin, whose district covers Lower Manhattan, said that, "as a mother," her "heart goes out to Peter Liang and his family."
"I believe that the NYPD’s policy and training utterly failed Akai Gurley, as well as Peter Liang and his partner," Chin said in her statement. "Two rookie police officers should never have been placed on a vertical patrol in an unfamiliar, darkened stairwell."
