San Jose Police Department
Captain Phan Ngo, one of a very few Vietnamese American police officers in the SJPD, was on Vietnamese-American radio trying to calm the community. He took the department position of this is a very rare case . Ngo claimed only 1% or less. He mentioned that the department will go through its internal investigation to determine if there is any wrondoing by the police officers.
Jenny Do, the lawyer who did the interview, reminded him that in this case there was a video. How many other incidences of police abuse of Asian Americans that are not being brought forward due to lack of witness or video?
SJPD should release all record of resistance arrest by Asian Americans and how many had to go to the hospital afterward.
At the press conference on Tuesdayheld by Viet-American Voters of Northern California along with Asian Law Alliance, ACLU, NCAAP, Silicon Valley De-Bug other civil rights groups, Councilmember Sam Liccardo spoke and reiterated his request for an open and full investigation. Madison Nguyen was inside city hall speaking to reporters. Liccardo, Nguyen and Councilmber Ash Kalra had publicly requested an open and full investigation.
Nguyen in her interviews with Vietnamese-American press has gone as far as saying she wanted a reform of the SJPD.
What will DA Dolores Carr do? She can always have close grand jury investigation similar with Daniel Pham where the evidence is being heard one sided.
This is now become a waiting game with political consequences for Dolores Carr and an international black eye for Chuck Reed and SJPD.
