Three years ago today Ryo Oyamada was killed by neglectful and careless officers of the N.Y.P.D. Underwhelming, disappointing, anticlimactic are a few words that could easily describe this third anniversary of the terrible incident that took the life of Ryo Oyamada.
Last year between thirty and fifty people that came out to remember the tragedy that occurred. This year on the third anniversary a whole four people turned out in attendance to Ryo's memorial. I’m sure that a few friends will trickle by on their own through the night. There is also those of course such as Ryo's out of state friends and family desperately wanted to be here tonight but just could not make it this time.
It’s a disappointment, because I can see that the pressure is just not there that would need to be in order to make the N.Y.P.D. fess-up, face and take responsibility for actions such as those that led up and are responsible for Ryo Oyamada's death.
Three years after Ryo’s death and the passion of those outraged has obviously for the most part cooled down, just the typical and expected process in which institutions such as the N.Y.P.D. count on to get them out of a bind.
Of course three years have gone by, people are busy, including the Oyamada family's high powered, anti-corruption spouting attorney, so when even he doesn’t have the time to pay his respects.
This city’s “law enforcement” knows that they have a much better chance at getting their way and getting away. It is a very sad day not just for the Oyamada family, but for all of us who have the potential to be harmed by the ones who are meant to protect us, knowing they face no repercussions and no accountability.
