Photos: YouTube Screenshots New York, NY—New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement on the verdict in the death of Jordan Neely:  “Jordan Neely’s death is an indictment of broken systems that failed to provide him with the mental health care he needed, when he was desperately crying out for help.   “I disagree with today’s verdict: we must not become a city where people take the law into their own hands. Daniel Penny is not a hero. But I share New Yorkers’ frustrations with the sense of disorder in our subways and on our streets, and City Hall’s failure to address it effectively. We need leaders who will actually make our systems work better to keep all New Yorkers safe, not valorize vigilantism.   “That’s why I’m making the commitment to end street homelessness for those suffering from severe mental illness my top priority.  We can and must make our city safer and more compassionate.”  The post New York City Comptroller: “Jordan Neely’s Death Is An Indictment Of Broken Systems…Daniel Penny Is Not A hero.” appeared first on Black Star News.
