Liang had testified that he had drawn his gun when entering a Brooklyn housing project and that he fired after being startled by a noise.

Based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Akai_Gurley

It sounds like the cop was incompetent. Drawing your gun just while being on patrol and shooting at things that scare you without knowing your target is a bad idea. The NYPD should take some blame as I am sure training is to blame. And, guns do not accidentally misfire. He pulled the trigger because his finger was on the trigger.

It is a manslaughter conviction which makes perfect sense given the facts. Similar to Johannes Mehserle

This is sad. I'm surprised at the Asian community. Basically this is saying other cops did it why can't we?

It appears Liang is also blaming the victim now. Guess he should have taken another stair case that night.
