By Prince George’s County Ex-Pat

“‘When we saw the spelling of his name, we knew he was from mainland China, and we knew we had to go,’ said Toronto police Constable Qian L. Yang, an immigrant from central China who serves as the Toronto Police Service's liaison to the city's Chinese community.”

“‘First and foremost, Liu is Chinese like us,’ Yaoxun Liu, an immigrant from Shanghai who traveled in from New Jersey along with 70 other Chinese-Americans to attend the funeral, said in Mandarin. "He was violently killed serving the community. Even though we don't know him, we came from nearby to show support."
