I watched the entire video. Daniel Penny lied his ass off. He didn't "restrain" Jordan Neely. He choked him to death. Watch it here for yourself.
Note at 2:10 seconds in a second man his holding Jordan's hands so he can't defend his neck. Note at 2:29 seconds in Daniel Penny turns on his side. At that point the "restraint" became a choke. Daniel Penny kept the choke on for 51 SECONDS AFTER NEELY WAS NO LONGER MOVING! At 3:50 in Daniel Penny, in response to the question if Jordan Neely had any weapons on him, says "I don't know. I put him out." The officer asks "You say you just put him out?" Jordan Neely says "I JUST PUT HIM IN A CHOKEHOLD ON THE FLOOR!"
It wasn't until after being charged with murder that Daniel Penny changed to story to "I was just restraining him."
And this disgusting liar (Daniel Penny) claims he was in the vulnerable position because he was on his back? And when the murder happened he was no longer on his back, he was on his side. And there was a second man who has been holding Jordan's arms. Also Jordan was unarmed the entire time. You know who was armed? Ashli Babbitt on January 6th!
I held off judgment on this case until I saw the entire video. Now I have seen it. Daniel Penny got away with murder. He never should have "restrained" Jordan with his arm around Jordan's throat. He should have kept restraining him instead of cranking on a chokehold. There was no reason to use a choke or even a "neck restraint" when there was another man there holding Jordan's arms. He shouldn't have kept the choke on for 51 seconds after Jordan was no longer moving. Was this first degree murder? No. I don't think he intended to kill Jordan. But he absolutely killed Jordan Neely and lied about it after the fact and it absolutely was not a justified use of lethal force when there was a SECOND MAN there holding Jordan's arms right before he turned on his side and put the chokehold on.
