NYPD to Announce Formation of Asian Hate Crime Task Force https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nypd-to-announce-formation-of-asian-hate-crime-task-force/2572365/ The New York City Police Department is set to announce its formation of an Asian hate crime task force to investigate the rise of attacks against people of Asian descent since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison will make an announcement on the formation of the task force later Tuesday afternoon. The latest incidents include an 89-year-old woman who was slapped and had her shirt set on fire last month in Brooklyn and another woman who was the subject of verbal anti-Asian sentiments on the subway. Police have not said whether the attack against the elderly woman in Brooklyn is being investigated as a hate crime and they are still searching for the suspects. The victim wasn't seriously injured in the attack.
新冠以来，全美针对亚裔的犯罪上升趋势明显 COVID-19 and the surge in anti-Asian hate crimes https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/covid-19-and-the-surge-in-anti-asian-hate-crimes According to a new study, the arrival of COVID-19 has brought with it a resurgence of hate crimes against Asian Americans. Angela Gover, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Colorado in Denver, led the study. The study explains that this is not the first time that an American public frightened by an infectious disease has sought to blame immigrant minorities. During previous U.S. infections, some people referred to cholera as the “Irish disease.” Some people blamed Jewish people for the spread of consumption, or tuberculosis (TB), Irish and Jewish people for yellow fever, and Italian immigrants for polio. During the 1900 outbreak of bubonic plague in San Francisco, Chinese residents in Chinatown were kept away from everyone else. Many people today are unaware that the “Spanish Flu” did not originate with Spanish people or in Spain. “The U.S. has seen a recurring history of socially entrenched racism towards Asian Americans with spikes occurring during historical times of crisis, including during the coronavirus pandemic,” write the authors. “Moreover, racist attitudes have been reinforced by institutional-level support, thus promoting a culture of ‘othering’ towards Asians in America, once again. COVID-19 is a public health crisis, not a racial matter. It does not discriminate along racial lines and nor should we.” According to the study, in late March 2020, the FBI, mindful of attempts to label COVID-19 as the “Chinese Flu” or the “Kung Flu,” alerted law enforcement agencies to be on “heightened alert for bias-motivated incidents.” The agency’s concern was warranted, write the study’s authors:
“COVID-19 has enabled the spread of racism and created national insecurity, fear of foreigners, and general xenophobia, which may be related to the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes during the pandemic.”

加州。。。。。。
警察工会背书川普，关白左白恩豪P事！
昨晚看的回放，工会主席那个老泪纵横，真是过去几个月憋惨了。
不分青红皂白把good cops说成evil，对警察和警察家人真是深深的伤害。
原来是这样。赞一下！
说的好像是警局独立于市府运作一样！
这个和警察工会有什么关系！
真是有点乱弹琴了，这是警察局长接到市议员的问询和压力，做出的部署。华裔民主党籍议员也参与施压了。
你们爱共和党，但也不能什么都往自己身上贴金，好不好啊？
不要说破！大家都看着不说破的。 那几个对美国毫无常识，英文新闻来源也不读一下，估计也读不懂。
他们会说这白思豪搅什么局， 我们就喜欢大统领叫我们 Chinese Virus 和 kung flu～
“增加对亚裔仇恨犯罪转移抗疫失败焦点工作组”
呵呵 赞 nypd，back the blue！实在忍不住想说破
police commissioner 是市长的direct subordinate。 就像纽约教育局doe 做的决定教师工会都反对一样， 就像强制开学！
