The recent incident involving a man who allegedly put a Black homeless man in a fatal chokehold on a New York subway has sparked outrage and controversy across the nation. The incident, which took place last Monday, resulted in the death of 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.

According to witnesses, Neely was shouting at other passengers on the subway when the altercation began. The passenger who placed him in the chokehold for several minutes has not been charged, leading to concerns about the use of excessive force and the need for better training and support for those dealing with mental health crises.
