If you don't like the police, you're gonna just hate the way untrained, desperate citizens protect themselves from the Democrat Base.
This irresponsible, clickbait, rabble-rousing newspaper calls it a "homicide."
The caught-on-video chokehold death of a homeless, mentally-ill Michael Jackson impersonator by a former U.S. Marine aboard a Manhattan subway train was ruled a homicide on Wednesday as anger and protests erupted over the killing.
It is a homicide -- but not all homicides are illegal. "Homicide" simply means the death was caused by another human, not that there is any criminal culpability for it.
This paper, by not making that clear, is putting it in the minds of the uninformed that this has already been ruled a murder.
Now you'll have riots because idiots think, "Why isn't he being arrested? It was already ruled a homicide!"
The city Medical Examiner found the cause of victim Jordan Neely's Monday death was compression of the neck. The finding is a critical piece of the investigation as police said they were awaiting the results of the autopsy before determining if criminal charges should be filed.
No, it was obvious how he died. They are collecting facts about what prompted the chokehold, and whether or not it was reasonable for people to be afraid of a man who shouted "I'm hungry and I'm not waiting, I'll hurt everyone on this train" and to take action to restrain him.
The determination came after friends and elected officials expressed outrage over the death, insisting the homeless busker didn't deserve to die. Neely, 30, was a familiar sight around town, performing in Times Square and on subways as the King of Pop.
"NYC is not Gotham," city Comptroller Brad Lander tweeted. "We must not become a city where a mentally ill human being can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequence."
He was restrained because he screamed that he would hurt or kill everyone on the train.
If you had more cops, and put people in jail for simple assault (which I'm sure this guy has several raps for), then the citizen would not have had to risk his own life to preserve his life and those around him on the train.
At least three people were cuffed following a demonstration inside the Broadway-Lafayette station, where Neely died, and a subsequent march in the local streets.
Dozens of protesters and police faced off during a tense vigil-turned-protest on the crowded uptown platform, with activists chanting "Justice for Jordan Neely" and other slogans.
"They murdered a Black man, and his only crime was screaming on a train," Logan, a 30-year-old Brooklynite, told the Daily News. "This should not have happened. If you're a native New Yorker, you've seen people having an outburst on a regular basis. That's not a reason (to kill them)."

He announced himself as a physical threat to those around him. They had every legal and moral right to take action to defend themselves. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool or a liar. It's that simple.
Yeah -- what fool or liar would claim that>

Jordan Neely was murdered.
But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges.
Even leftwing mayor Eric Adams has had enough of Donkey-Chompers' ignorant, reckless brayings:
Mayor Eric Adams has ripped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for rushing to conclude that Jordan Neely was "murdered" when he was put in a chokehold by a Marine.
Hizzoner criticized the progressive lawmaker along with City Comptroller Brad Lander, who claimed people are cheering how the troubled 30-year-old homeless man was "choked to death by a vigilante without consequence."
"I don't think that's very responsible at the time where we are still investigating the situation," Adams said on "CNN Primetime" late Wednesday when asked about both inflammatory tweets.
"Let's let the DA conduct his investigation with the law enforcement officials. To really interfere with that is not the right thing to do.
"I'm going to be responsible and allow them to do their job and allow them to determine exactly what happened here," the mayor stressed.
The little idiot AOC snapped back on Twitter:

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.
The last sentence is especially rich from an admin trying to cut the very services that could have helped him.
People are not required to suffer threats to their lives out of respect for your filthy, degenerate cult of mayhem and murder, you Satanic retard.
The below is NOT the deranged homeless bum who was just killed. This is another deranged criminal who launched racist attack after racist attack at a couple of peaceable subway riders, for the crime of using a service they are taxed to the gills to pay for.
How much longer can this go on for?
There will not just be one Bernie Goetz. There will be dozens.
