More damning details are emerging about the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Akai Gurley in NYCHA's Pink Houses last month, with the New York Daily News reporting Friday that officer Peter Liang's first actions were to text his NYPD union rep rather than to call for help for the man he just shot.

It took more than six and a half minutes after shooting Gurley for Liang and partner Shaun Landau to check in with their superiors, a source told the Daily News, despite attempts from higher-ups to reach them after a neighbor reported hearing a gunshot. Moreover, the two officers reportedly did not know the address of the building they were patrolling — and likely should not have been in the building at all. The sources said that deputy inspector Miguel Iglesias, at that point the commanding officer of that housing bureau, told police, "I want a presence on the street, in the courtyards — and if they go into the buildings they were just supposed to check out the lobby."

I'd give the union rep a heads up too.
Not before my Captain though.

When officer wilson did the exact same thing--actually he left the scene of the crime where he was the suspect, not one of were enraged by his behavior.

Union pigs. That's the culture up there. Another reminder of the union mindset.

remember when people would hate on CptBengal for his cop threads? Seems like those roided up militarized juiceheads can't go a week without finding themselves in the news.
