The officer from the Chinatown precinct’s fifth precinct has been serving in the precinct for more than 16 years, and he was assigned to coordinate an African-American civil rights movement march near Stonewall that day, and while he was standing with other officers, an African-American protester walked right up to him and continuously posted anti-Asian racial hate speech.
“Eat the cat, eat the dog, put soy sauce on it or not?” The video shows the African-American man standing in front of the Chinese-American officer during the 10-minute law enforcement camera video, saying over and over again with explicitly racist descriptions, and sources close to the situation said he had left for a while and then returned to the scene and proceeded to blurt out his rhetoric.
“This fucking morning tea party” and then repeats the word “soy sauce” in a mocking tone, and as he prepares to finish his remarks, he asks the Chinese officer if he ordered the “lunch special. “The scene was not only a surprise to the ethnic Chinese, but also to the police officer.
The scene was not only recorded by the Chinese police officer’s law enforcement camera, but also by the man live to social media, many people in the Chinese community also saw this live; they also contacted the Chinese police officer in the community, said the five divisions have been to the community to promote the people to actively report the case, “but why the title of the police should be tolerated?”
The Chinese police officer was ready to file a complaint after the incident, but then had to reconsider, believing the harassment may not have risen to the level of a hate crime, the source said.
City police said there has been a “spike” in racist verbal attacks against minority police officers since last summer, when protests against racism and police brutality were being held across the city.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said police should “confront” people accused of “hurtful” behavior, even if it does not rise to the level of a crime.
Asked if the city and police could do more to stop the spike in hate crimes against Asians, White said warnings may be a last resort.
Sources said police already have personal information about the African-American man, who has previously been arrested for making terroristic threats and constant harassment.
Paul DiGiacomo, president of the New York City Detectives Endowment Association, said the incident was “disgusting and despicable,” but also It’s “not surprising at all,” he said.
He said, “It’s a sad reality that police have to face because incompetent politicians invited these people in, but the officers involved reacted calmly and with commendable dedication.”
