Cop Texted Union Rep as Akai Gurley Lay Dying
While Akai Gurley was dying in a darkened stairwell at a Brooklyn housing development, the cop who fired the fatal bullet was texting his union representative, sources told the Daily News.
Right after rookie cop Peter Liang discharged a single bullet that struck Gurley, 28, he and his partner Shaun Landau were incommunicado for more than six and a half minutes, sources said Thursday.
So instead of getting help for the man he just shot for no good reason, his first reaction appears to have been to try and cover his ass.
