梁警官的事在華人圈子裡引起了不少的討論,不過事實上除了網上白宮請願之外,也沒能搞出更大的動靜。相反,倒有不少人提出反思,理性等等的呼籲。
靜下心來,看看這些的評論也好,反思也罷。說句公道話,都分析得很有條理很有理性。侃侃而談中,足以彰顯出評論者的高智商,同時又不會給自己帶來一絲一毫的麻煩,呵呵,都在網上嘛。這個就是中國人千古以來奉行的睿智,明哲保身之道。要麼沉默是金,非得表個態的話,也務求百分之一百的正確,百分之一百的不給自己找麻煩。無論是如今的梁警官的事,還是當年「雞毛事件」。。。不少人估計都忘了吧?
美國憲法第一修正案就是言論自由。言論自由?國人太有體會了,曾經為一句話搞得身敗名裂,家破人亡的比比皆是。借一句話捕風捉影搞得別人家破人亡的主也是遍地開花。所以說,國人向來就不缺「智者」或是以「智者」自居的,不求為人,但求自保。相反,那些被「智者」所不齒的性情中人卻是珍稀得很。因為,都被「智者」們下套淘汰出局了嘛。咱的長輩,就是因著一句真話,揭露當時黨的腐敗,結果被株連九族。周圍下套下石的全TMD的是「智者」。稍好的,不說真話而已,惡劣的,添油加醋。呵呵,說遠了。
何為言論自由?言論自由不是把自己當成手握小鎚子的法官。大家平常人,平常心,平常智商。說自己想說之事,重要的不是結論,而是關注。每人頭上都有一盞明燈,說的可能不全面,也可能有瑕疵,但你的燈打開了。世上任何齷齪的東西,都怕光。咱們能做的就是把事件放在聚光燈下,來一起見證正義的過程。
以下幾乎是和梁警官一模一樣的案例,大家自己去辨讀。最終,Neri警官停職30天後,改了文職,NYPD賠了兩百萬納稅人的錢完事。
「The shooting of Timothy Stansbury occurred in New York City on January 24, 2004. Stansbury was an unarmed 19-year-old New York City man who was shot and killed by New York Police Department Officer Richard S. Neri Jr. on January 24, 2004. Officer Neri and a partner were patrolling the rooftop of a housing project in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn at about 1 a.m. Officer Neri, with his gun drawn, approached a rooftop door to check the stairway inside. Neri testified to a Brooklyn grand jury that he fired his standard Glock 19 pistol unintentionally when he was startled as Stansbury pushed open the rooftop door. Stansbury, a resident of an adjoining building, died from one shot in the chest. The grand jury found the shooting to be accidental.[1]」
「On February 17, 2004 after nearly a month of investigation, the grand jury declined to indict Officer Neri on charges of criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter, finding instead the shooting to be accidental. Mayor Mike Bloomberg who like Kelly had not been overtly supportive of Officer Neri said: Although the death of Timothy Stansbury was a heartbreaking tragedy, a grand jury today decided that Officer Neri's actions were not criminal. The Police Department will conduct a review of the case to determine the appropriate course of action."[5]」
「
In 2006, Officer Neri was stripped of his gun permanently, given a 30-day suspension without pay and reassigned to a property clerk's office by Police Commissioner Kelly, a punishment the Stansbury family considered inadequate.[6] As of 2011, Neri was still employed with the New York Police Department making $76,488 annually.[7]In May 2007, the New York Police Department agreed to pay $2 million to the family of Timothy Stansbury.[8]「
