ADAMS, HOCHUL’S RESPONSE TO NYC SUBWAY BUSKER’S CHOKEHOLD DEATH FACES BLOWBACK


By Michael Gartland and Chris Sommerfeldt
New York Daily News
•
May 04, 2023 at 1:31 pm





Cellphone video captures deadly chokehold incident on subway.






The chokehold death of a Manhattan subway busker at the hands of a U.S. Marine
is sending shockwaves through the city’s political firmament, with Democrats
who’ve denounced the tragedy setting their sights on Mayor Adams and Gov. Hochul
over their more tempered responses.

Though the city Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide Wednesday evening,
Adams and Hochul have not called for the U.S. Marine’s arrest. Speaking on CNN
after the examiner’s ruling, Adams said he thought it was not “very responsible”
for local elected officials to denounce the killing as the incident remains
under investigation — prompting an outcry from more left-leaning Democrats.

“This honestly feels like a new low: not being able to clearly condemn a public
murder because the victim was of a social status some would deem ‘too low’ to
care about,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat who
represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, wrote on Twitter in response to Adams’
comments.

The Black busker, Jordan Neely, was known for his Michael Jackson
impersonations. On Monday, the white U.S. Marine, who has not been identified,
put Neely in a headlock onboard a subway train after the performer started
acting erratically and threatening commuters, according to cops and video of the
encounter.







Ocasio-Cortez, who has largely stayed away from directly criticizing Adams since
he took office last year, said the mayor’s response was also “especially rich,”
given that his administration is “trying to cut the very services that could
have helped” Neely, a reference to the mayor’s proposed city budget.

Speaking about Neely’s death during a press conference Wednesday, Hochul told
reporters she found it “deeply disturbing,” but also that “there’s consequences
for behavior” when there “are homeless in our subways, many of them in the
throes of mental health episodes.”

Hochul’s response drew withering pushback from Brooklyn Councilman Chi Osse, a
Democrat who called her comment “ghoulish” in a Twitter post.

Osse also pointed fingers at the mayor, saying he “just All Lives Mattered the
murder of a mentally ill Black man who was killed by a blood thirsty vigilante.”

In his CNN appearance Wednesday night, Adams would not directly condemn
“vigilantism” in the subway system when asked what he thought more broadly of
passengers taking matters into their own hands.

“I was a former transit police officer and I responded to many jobs where you
had a passenger assisting someone,” Adams said. “We cannot just blatantly say
what a passenger should or should not do in a situation like that and we should
allow the investigation to take its course.”



Maurice Mitchell, director of the left-leaning Working Families Party, lambasted
Hochul and Adams for not speaking out against what he described as “a modern-day
public lynching.”



“In refusing to condemn this killing, the mayor and governor are fueling the
dehumanization of Black life, the dehumanization of unhoused New Yorkers, and
the dehumanization of those with mental health needs. They’re also condoning the
vigilante-style killings of members of our community,” Mitchell said. “We expect
leadership at this moment, but so far what we’ve seen from the mayor and
governor is cowardice.”
