Jordan Neely's Subway Death Exposes Deep Issues in NYC

Pressure is mounting on New York City authorities as they investigate the death of Jordan Neely, a well-known Black street performer, after a former Marine, who is white, put him in a chokehold after an altercation on the subway. Neely's death has renewed conflicts about access to mental health and what some experts warn is an alarming increase in vigilante justice nationally. The incident has sparked protests and criticism of the official response, with advocates for unhoused people saying they are often treated as disposable or unworthy of society's protections.
