NYC Police Officer Found Guilty Of Manslaughter In Shooting Of Unarmed Man

In 2014, a rookie police officer fired his gun in a stairwell. His bullet ricocheted off a wall and hit Akai Gurley, 28, on a lower floor.

A jury in New York has convicted NYPD Officer Peter Liang of manslaughter over his shooting of an unarmed black man in a dark stairwell in 2014. Liang, who was a rookie at the time, was also faulted for not aiding his victim.

The verdict was announced Thursday night; soon after, the NYPD announced that Liang has officially been fired from the police force.

Machines of Loving Grace

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky. I like to think (right now, please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics where deer stroll peacefully past computers as if they were flowers with spinning blossoms. I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace.

Meredith Monk:  “It's a wonderful struggle, I feel blessed...It's those moments that you do feel you are a medium for something else or some kind of insight that you know is coming from a larger sense of existence...I might be completely naive, but I believe if you're doing something that's of benefit and that you're really following what you believe to be true in your work then it will work itself out somehow”

It's very nice to get good comments but it's very helpful to get critiques because then you can learn.
