Local civil rights organizations are calling for more help and resources to combat violence impacting Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities in Washington. They say the racist vandalism that recently struck the historic Wing Luke Museum in Seattle's Chinatown-International District highlights deeper concerns among neighborhoods with Asian American residents.

"It was so loud that it was actually shaking the seats in the theater," said Stan Shikuma, Co-President of the Japanese American Citizens League Greater Seattle Chapter.

Shikuma and others kept Milne at the scene in Canton Alley, but say they waited more than 50 minutes for police to arrive. SPD acknowledged that in some cases, there had been a 15 to 20-minute delay in reporting the crimes, due to language barriers.Police: Burglars targeting residents of Asian descent in South Seattle armed home invasions

Bodycam video released by the Seattle Police Department captured an officer laughing and joking about a woman hit and killed by police during an emergency response. At one point the officer can be heard saying, "She was 26 anyway, she had limited value."
