NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The New York Police Department has launched a first-of-its-kind task force to tackle the rise in hate crimes committed against Asian Americans amid the COVID-19 pandemic.“I’m from Malaysia but I’ve been here 30 some years,” Mei Chau explained from her loft apartment in New York City.Chau is a chef and owner of Aux Epices, a French Malaysian restaurant in New York’s Chinatown. “It’s actually a French name. It’s called with spice.”Due to COVID-19, regulations and a lack of tourists, Chau was forced to close her doors in June.“At the same time, I'm also glad that I closed because of the difficulty that I have to face,” she explained. Aux Epices is just one of the many businesses lining Chinatown’s streets that’s been hit hard, in more ways than one.“When the first news came out saying, Oh this came from China, of course right away we’re like, oh is this going to affect us?” Chau explained. “And of course it affected us.”Chau says businesses in Chinatown started closing, one by one.“As with any pandemic, we have people that would like to blame another group for the issue and this time is no exception,” said Wellington Chen, Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership. “We understand, we’re sensitive to the pain, the loss, the death and the loss of job, the economic devastation. But we are in it just as much as anybody else.”Chen said Chinatown doesn't have enough visitors to recover. Normally packed streets are empty, but worry over another issue fills the air.“The number of anti-Asian harassment or hate crime has risen since the pandemic broke in Wuhan,” he said.That didn’t go unnoticed.“As far as I know, we are the first police department to have an Asian hate crime task force,” said Stewart Loo, the Commanding Officer of the New York Police Department’s Asian Hate Crime Task Force. The unit was announced in May to tackle the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. The agency has investigated 26 cases this year, up from three last year.It’s something Officer Loo has personally experienced. “When I was 7 years old, I immigrated to America with my mom and my dad. When we got here, my dad took a job delivering Chinese food in Manhattan North, and during his time here, on more than one occasion, he was a victim of robbery,” he said. “We had to go through the process on the other side without having somebody that speaks our language.”“There is a lot of mistrust in the police department, especially in the Asian community, where the general public doesn't like to get involved too much even when they are victims of a crime,” Task Force Officer Jacky Wong said.They both explained breaking down the language barrier will help, as it did in Officer Wong’s first case.“I spoke to her in Cantonese, so I built a little rapport with her,” he said. “She was able to give us information that led to identifying those two suspects, which led to their apprehension.”“I’m glad the city is sending out this task force,” Chau said. “I won’t venture out to some place I’m not familiar, because it is, the fear it's there.”Not everyone believes police involvement is the right answer.“I think that the task force might be a band aid solution for the problem," said Jennifer Wang, Deputy Director of Programs for the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. The organization was one of 26 Asian American organizations in New York that signed a letter saying they were against the creation of the task force.“The problem at its core might actually be that Asian Americans, we are a community of color and it’s very hard to trust that law enforcement will protect us,” Wang said.“Personally I would have never called the police in any of these situations I have encountered,” said Allison Park, also part of the Women’s Forum. She shared a few of her experiences from back in February. “I was on the subway and a group of I believe to be middle schoolers started coughing on each other and began shoving each other toward me. This really would not have been as big of a deal for me if it hadn't been for two prior incidents I had in San Francisco and [Washington] D.C.” she said.The task force aims to create a better, more understanding culture around reporting hate crimes.“This is absolutely very important for people that are victimized to come forward and press charges, because you could prevent another hate crime down the road,” Wong said.“To change people’s mind is not one day to another,” Chau said. 4470

NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Griffin is stepping down after 12 years as MSNBC president, the first major post-election change in the news industry.NBC Universal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde says Rashida Jones will replace Griffin.Jones, who is currently the head of breaking news at NBC and recently directed the network's coverage of the 2020 election, has been with NBC News for the past seven years.She is the first Black executive to lead a cable news network, and Conde has said increasing diversity is one of his top goals."Rashida is the right person to lead MSNBC forward into a new era," said Conde in a press release. "She's an exceptional leader with an outstanding track record, laser-like focus, and grace under pressure."According to the press release, Jones will take over on Feb. 1.Conde says Griffin has left MSNBC in the best shape it has ever been."Six straight record years. Each one is better than the last. An extraordinary roster of anchors, journalists, producers, contributors, and many more who each day create smart, in-depth news, analysis, and perspective and do it in a way that is distinctive in the cable news environment – with humanity that pops through the screen," Conde said in the news release.News networks are now wondering if they can keep up the same public interest level without President Donald Trump. 1349

NEWFOUNDLAND, Pa. -- Crown-wearing worshippers held onto their AR-15 rifles, drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows during a commitment ceremony at a Pennsylvania church Wednesday.State police and protesters stood outside the church as brides dressed in white and grooms dressed in dark suits clung to their AR-15s inside the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary.The church believes the AR-15 represents the “rod of iron” in the book of Revelation and encouraged couples to bring guns to the ceremony.An attendant was charged with the task of checking each weapon at the door to ensure it was unloaded and secured with a zip tie.The ceremony prompted an area school district to move elementary school students down the street to a different school. 772

NEW YORK (AP) — From the earliest phases of the coronavirus pandemic, church services and other religious activities have been identified as sources of some local outbreaks. They have posed challenges in the U.S. for government leaders and health officials whose guidelines are sometimes challenged as encroachments on religious liberty. In the last two weeks alone, there have been two major church-government confrontations in California. First, San Francisco's city attorney sent a cease-and-desist order to the Roman Catholic archdiocese saying some churches had violated a ban on large indoor gatherings. A few days later, state officials temporarily banned singing and chanting at all indoor places of worship. 724

NEW YORK — Prosecutors on Tuesday charged 18 alleged gang members — including rapper Casanova — in connection with various racketeering, murder, narcotics, firearms and fraud offenses, officials said.Prosecutors added that Casanova is the only one of the 18 — who were allegedly a part of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang — that was not in custody as of Tuesday. The FBI is still searching for the rapper, whose real name is Caswell Senior, and the agency believes he may be in the Atlanta area.Officials charged Brandon Soto in connection with the Sept. 21 murder of a 15-year-old minor in Poughkeepsie. The accused individuals also allegedly defrauded COVID-19 economic assistance programs, acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said."Because of that, communities across the Southern District (of New York) – from Poughkeepsie to Peekskill to New York City — suffered," Strauss said.The alleged crimes span a wide swath of New York: on June 12, Naya Austin, Dezon Washington and Jordan Ingram allegedly robbed a rival drug dealer at gunpoint in Peekskill; on July 20, Stephen Hugh allegedly shot at rival gang members in New Rochelle and on Aug. 28 of 2018, Brinae Thornton allegedly shot at a rival gang member in Brooklyn.Casanova is currently signed to Roc Nation, the label founded and operated by Jay-Z, in 2008. He released his first studio album in 2019 and has collaborated with artists like Jeremih, Chris Brown and DMX.This story was originally published by Aliza Chasan on WPIX in New York City. 1523
