'We've been waiting a kind of reaction, kind of an apology or some reaction from the police department, the administration. But so far, there is no reaction from the public sector,' said James Kwang Kim, president of the Korean American Organization of Greater New York.'All my family, you know, was inundated by sadness, sorrow,' K.Y.
