Letters to the Editor: The disturbing sanctioning of Jordan Neely’s unnecessary death

LA Times  

New York police officers investigate a subway car where Jordan Neely, suffering from an apparent mental health episode, was placed in a choke hold and died on May 1, 2023. To the editor: In 1991, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Daryl F. Gates called for officers involved in the beating of Rodney King to face discipline or felony prosecution. Nevertheless, a Simi Valley jury disregarded that fact, the video of the beating, the skull fractures, the broken leg and King’s fractured cheekbone, and it acquitted four officers of assault and three of excessive force. This is making alive political scientist Andrew Hacker’s 1992 book, “Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal.” Marc D. Greenwood, Opelika, Ala.
