Asian-American group angry after Los Angeles Police Department revokes march permit. Arcadia Businessman Kin Hui, CEO of Singpoli Group, LLC and Singpoli Capital Corp. said LAPD's decision to revoke a permit that would have allowed about 1,000 people to march on Sunday in protest at Los Angeles City Hall sends the message that Asian voices and rights are less valuable than others in the community. The march was to be in support of New York City police officer Peter Liang, a rookie officer involved and indicted by grand jury, for fatal shooting of 28-year-old Akai Gurleyan, an unarmed Brooklyn man. LA Police say the rally permit was withdrawn because it would conflict with the planned Fiesta Broadway, which is expected to draw 30,000 to downtown LA this weekend.
