Attorney for Marine involved in subway chokehold death issues statement expressing 'condolences'
Protestors at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn called for accountability on Thursday as the NYPD has issued a call for help in their investigation.
"What kind of standard are you setting when you do that? Are people gonna be able to start choking out every homeless person," protest organizer Relly Rebel asked. New video recently released shows Neely panhandling on the subway just last month, unshaven in street clothes. Neely has a history of about 44 prior arrests and was known by the MTA and police, but many argue Neely did not need to die and there is growing backlash over the case.
Witnesses told detectives Neely came onto the subway, threw his jacket on the floor, and began screaming and yelling aggressively, pacing up and down the train car. Years ago, Neely could be seen in the subways dancing like Michael Jackson. The Manhattan borough president tweeted Wednesday that he saw him perform many times on the A train and that he made people smile.Neely also had a documented mental history, police sources said.
