Some 50,000 Chinese American took part in a rally in support of New York City Police officer Peter Liang at the Cadman Plaza Park, New York's Brooklyn, on February 20.

Liang, a New York City police officer of Chinese descent, was found guilty on February 11 of manslaughter over the shooting of a black man, prompting concerns of discrimination.

On November 20, 2014, Liang, a 27-year-old with only a year and a half on the job, was patrolling with his partner in Brooklyn's East New York housing project when he was startled by a noise. In a stairway that prosecutors described as "pitch-dark," Liang drew his gun and fired. The bullet ricocheted off a wall and hit Akai Gurley on a lower level.
