- May is Asian American and Pacific Islander month, and we're honoring the people who are leading their industries and inspiring others.
Ban Tien immigrated to Houston with his family when he was 6-years-old and joined the Army right out of high school. He joined the Houston police department in 1997 and in April 2023 he became not only the highest ranking but also the first Asian American Executive Assistant Chief on the force.
"I'm extremely proud, proud not for myself, but the fact that it opened up, you know, a lot of doors, a lot of doors for perhaps, you know, immigrant kids coming in," Tien said.

I am a Texan and so proud of your achievement. Congratulation Sir.
Those served in the military are good people but they are misguided by US government to other countries as an aggressor on the pretense of defending freedom when these countries have never threaten to invade.
As an Iranian that’s why I love America ❤
You don’t need to be an American by blood!!
Be an American in heart and soul ❤❤

Way to represent I remember my co worker spoke louder to a Spanish speaking person. I just shook my head. I was certified bilingual. Added to my retirement.

I’ve met him at the Astros game before! Really nice and humble guy!
I can tell you that “ American Food are good , so everyone are tall big smart hardworking as you can see
When he still a kid, he is an ethnic Chinese who was born and live in Việt Nam, the Vietnamese people call him a brother who live on the high land, and now he became Chinese Vietnamese American who likes a lot of ethnic Vietnamese who live on US soil ( H’Mong, Ê Dê,…).
Proud
That's great 👍
this is what america is all about.

From kids to children
Most Chinese can only become doctors and engineers, or physicists. we never think of military.
👍
Paisano
His wife has a strong southern draw.
Are you not proud to be called Vietnamese, but Asians? All the citizens from Middle East, such as Israel, Jordan,.. to Far East like Japan, Korea, China,.. are being called Asians. American society did have plenty of high ranking officials, originally from these countries have been working for the US Government!
cantonese kool
and then the Filipino came around.....
"American" Asian has nothing to do with helping his country
He was in the military fighting for America. Now he is a police officer keeping American safe. What have you done for America?
EVERY ADULT IMMIGRANT
SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO SERVE
IN THE USA
MILITARY!!!!!
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!
Every U.S. Citizen and legal immigrant should SERVE!
No, you're just "American". Thank you Sir.
Born in Vietnam, but speaks Cantonese. Why?
A lot of Chinese came to Vietnam thousands of years ago that why
To help you understand, it’s like the children of an American expat were born in Vietnam and speak English at home.
Many Chinese people migrated to Vietnam before the 70s
Most Chinese don't want to assimilate to the cultures of countries they consider inferior to theirs (South East Asian) so they only speak their own language at home. Seems like B Tien is sensitive about his heritage bc he was born in Hai Phong, North Vietnam (Communist), and he is Chinese (1979, c hina vietnam war). So he identifies himself as Asian in general. But his past was beyond his control. What is important now is his contribution and loyalty to his America country.
@@jokh9992 What the hell are you talking about?! It’s normal that people of a different descent speak their mother tongue at home in the countries that adopted them. American expats in Vietnam, Hispanics in the U.S….
