Police: NY man attacked Army officer at Wal-Mart

My comment: This man should be given a ticket to another country, one way of course and banned from America. We might not all agree on everything that the government of America does, but we all do agree that our Service men and women represent us and this Country and they will be treated with respect!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say video surveillance footage from an Albany Wal-Mart store shows a uniformed U.S. Army officer being attacked by a man who had verbally harassed the soldier for his military service.

Albany police released the footage after charging 47-year-old Yiqiang Wu of Schenectady with assault as a hate crime for Thursday’s fight at a checkout line.

The Army captain told police that a man behind him in line began to yell derogatory comments at him about the United States and his service to the nation. Police say Wu then struck the officer several times in the face. The officer was treated at the scene.

The video shows the officer, dressed in camouflage fatigues, confronting the man before being attacked.

Wu is free on bail. It couldn’t be determined if he had a lawyer.
