Yang Song fell four stories onto a sidewalk in Flushing, Queens on the night of November 25th. An officer with the New York City Police Department accompanied her, unconscious, to New York Presbyterian Hospital where doctors placed her on a respirator. They worked for hours: the 35 units of blood they transfused did not take, given the severity of her injuries from the thirty foot fall. NYPD later said that Yang fell from an apartment building on 40th Road while police were attempting to arrest her for allegedly engaging in sex work. These were among the sparse details they released after Yang’s death the following morning. She was 38. The NYPD’s Force Investigation Division, assigned to deaths in custody, would investigate.

Sad, sad story.
>> FORMER ATTORNEY OF QUEENS WOMAN WHO FELL TO HER DEATH IN VICE SAYS SHE WAS PRESSURED<<
Ya think? She had the squeeze put on her for sure!
There are organizations which help people get out of prostitution, but if the triads are involved its difficult.
Regarding reference to police, it could be just anybody in a uniform but if it’s triads they are known to send candidates with a clean record through the police academy. That’s common in LA.
Hey, you’ve got to give her credit for saying anything after that!

The words “vice” and “pressured” in one sentence threw me off.
THis is a pic of the boy with his mother in the hospital room who fell a similar distance at mall of america. there is a claim that he hasn’t suffered spinal cord damage or brain damage. DOn’t see how that is possible

Did you forget the /sarc tag?
There is zero suggestion that she was being "trafficked" in the article. In fact her dream was to open her own massage parlor. She moved to the USA legally, with her older husband, she wasn't smuggled in.
From what we can tell from the article the villains are the NYPD who were shaking her down for sex, threatening her with guns, covering up when she reported it, and then targeting her business which resulted in a suspicious death.
And, oh yeah, the article says other NYPD officer have been arrested for similar preying on masseuses.
As for:
There are organizations which help people get out of prostitution, but if the triads are involved its difficult.
Again, no mention of triads in the article. If they were involved ... well we know the NYPD was involved. Maybe the NYPD were pimping her? That would be a more logical conclusion from reading the story than the theories you are spinning out.
The Police Are Still Out of Control I should know. By FRANK SERPICO October 23, 2014
Even now, I do not know for certain why I was left trapped in that door by my fellow police officers. But the Narcotics division was rotten to the core, with many guys taking money from the very drug dealers they were supposed to bust. I had refused to take bribes and had testified against my fellow officers. Police make up a peculiar subculture in society. More often than not they have their own moral code of behavior, an “us against them” attitude, enforced by a Blue Wall of Silence. It’s their version of the Mafia’s omerta. Speak out, and you’re no longer “one of us.” You’re one of “them.” And as James Fyfe, a nationally recognized expert on the use of force, wrote in his 1993 book about this issue, Above The Law, officers who break the code sometimes won’t be helped in emergency situations, as I wasn’t.The NYPD famously set up one of their own, and didn't even call an ambulance for him as he lay bleeding in a hallway.
So, yeah, it's easy to believe some cop threw this Chinese lady off her balcony for crossing the "thin blue line".
I think it’s quite obvious that the line was sarcasm.
Yes, that comment was sarcastic.
My problem is with officials to use the word “trafficked” to perform unconstitutional actions. It is that in this justifies the means mentality.
I understood your point and agree that it’s a very sad, anger inducing story.
Sad story....
Got one for you.
