STATEMENT FROM COUNCIL MEMBER ANDY KING ON GRAND JURY DECISION TO INDICT NYPD OFFICER PETER LIANG

“I believe that today’s indictment by a Brooklyn grand jury sends a clear message that every life matters and every individual must be held accountable for their actions. The fatal shooting of Akai Gurley inside a Brooklyn housing complex was a tragic situation. In the pursuit of justice, we have an obligation to try and treat everyone the same. The fact that Peter Liang is a law enforcement officer does not disable a fair due process,” said Council Member Andy King, Co-Chair of the Black, Latino & Asian Caucus.
