Episode description
On May 1, 2023 a now-famous incident took place on a NYC subway. Jordan Neely, a reported homeless man was acting erratic. One of the riders, Daniel Perry subdued Neely with a chokehold while others assisted, and Neely was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The incident has spawned a series of racially-charged protests.
It is likely that Perry will be charged with Manslaughter. But is this another “defund the police” moment, given there was no police involvement in the incident? Today, former and retired police officers Eric Tansey and Drew Breasy analyze the incident and the discuss the criminal aspect with Attorney Rob Herking from the “One More & I’m Outta Here” podcast.
