Investigation launched into arrest during Jordan Neely protest.

The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) has opened an investigation into the arrest of photojournalist Stephanie Keith during a Jordan Neely protest in New York City. The CCRB received multiple complaints about the NYPD's behavior during the protest, where over ten demonstrators, including Keith, were arrested. Keith, who was charged with disorderly conduct, denies interfering with any arrests. The award-winning photographer's arrest has been described as "traumatic," and she has called for accountability. A Manhattan grand jury may be convened this week to decide whether any charges might be filed in the fatal chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
