The bystander video was recorded by a high school student. Jurors saw video on Monday of Marine veteran Daniel Penny putting Jordan Neely in a deadly chokehold on the floor of a subway train in New York City, as Penny's manslaughter trial resumed.

The ugliest answer here is almost certainly the truest: Penny is white and Neely is black, and the central idea that animates woke DAs like Bragg (and the leftist legislators who’ve utterly eroded our criminal justice system) is that black people are dying in an epidemic of white violence.
