City Councilman Liu is wrong, though one understands why he needs to praise the NY Pig Dep't. This is the same Pig Dep't. that can't bother with perennial double-parking on Steinway Street, but somehow finds time to harrbutt Asian drivers in Flushing (who at least move when you honk). Of course, it's a f***ing Chinatown over there -- way too many people. EXCERPTS Two Korean immigrants charged with attacking police officers during a traffic dispute have avoided jail and will likely have their cases dismissed in a year, defense lawyers and prosecutors say. Insu Lee, 34, and Mohyung Lee, 40, who said the police did not identify themselves and used racial slurs, walked out of court smiling last week. ... "We reviewed the matter and based on our investigation we believe this to be a fair disposition," said Kevin Ryan, a spokesman for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. "The defendants had no criminal history and the police officer was not seriously injured. And the case can return to the court calendar if they commit any new crime." The NYPD declined to comment, but City Councilman John Liu (D-Flushing), who has championed the Lees' cause, said there is an ongoing Internal Affairs investigation. "They didn't do anything that day except to mind their own business," Liu said. "The last thing they wanted to do was to attack a police officer." "What happened that night to Insu and Mohyung was repulsive and does not represent the 109th Precinct or the New York Police Department," the councilman added.
