funny how this is important, but when kennedy called a lawyer first......A New York police officer who shot a man dead in a Brooklyn housing project texted his union before calling 911, a new report has revealed.
Akai Gurley, 28, was gunned down November 20 by rookie cop Peter Liang. The officer then texted his union representative before calling paramedics to tend to the dying Gurley, sources told the New York Daily News.
Text messages received by the police union also showed both officers had no clue which building they were in, the source revealed.
Liang and Shaun Landau, his partner, encountered Gurley while on an interior patrol referred to as "verticals" by police.
A superior officer, Deputy Inspector Miguel Iglesias, had previously barred them from such patrols, the source added.
An attorney for Gurley's family has called the incident criminally negligent and told the Daily News he would be surprised if it does not reach a grand jury.
