Community calls for fair trial of officer

New York's Chinese community has called for a fair and just trial for Chinese-American NYPD officer Peter Liang for the Nov 20 fatal shooting of Akai Gurley.

The current situation, with the Chinese having little influence in US politics, must change, Brooklyn Asian Communities Empowerment chairman Chen Shanzhuang said on Thursday.

According to Chen, the Chinese community representatives will attend court to express their support when Liang's case opens.
