Asian Americans Show Solidarity, Support for Ferguson More than three decades after Vincent Chins death, the decision not to indict Darren Wilson reminds us that our justice system is still broken,” said Emma Chen, president of American Citizens for Justice/Asian American Center for Justice. Chen was recalling the 1982 beating death of Chinese-American Vincent Chin, whose killers were fined $3000 and never spent a night in jail. When there is no accountability for excessive force and police brutality, said Chen, we guarantee there will be another tragedy. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are speaking out against the grand jury decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Community leaders are pointing out similarities to the Asian-American experience, urging solidarity with other communities of color, and calling for action. nbcnews/news/asian-america/asian-americans-show-solidarity-support-ferguson-n256001
