New York reckons with a homeless epidemic and a killing.
. “I have yet to hear a real explanation from any official hesitating to condemn the killing of Jordan Neely about what makes condemning this violence so ‘complicated,’” she tweeted. “Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?”issued a statement that came closest to identifying the core issue of Neely’s death.
“If you keep arresting him, and he keeps getting let go without getting treatment, this is going to continue to happen. We’re gonna get more of these.” The horrifying video of Neely’s death includes an unseen bystander telling Penny to stop, that he’s killing the man in his choke hold, and that Neely has defecated on himself, a sign that the life is ebbing out of him. It will be up to District Attorneyto determine if the facts warrant prosecution. In an odd twist, Penny will be represented by Thomas Kenniff, Bragg’s Republican opponent in 2021.
