They clashed with police over the death of Jordan Neely earlier this week. The New York Post reported that at least seven people were arrested during the mayhem at the Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street subway stop on the Upper East Side.<\/p>\n<h3>Attacks on Officers Despite No Connection to Law Enforcement<\/h3>\n<p>The attacks by the leftists on officers from the New York City Police Department happened despite the fact that Neely\u2019s death had nothing to do with law enforcement. Manhattan prosecutors and detectives met to evaluate whether the case should be presented to a grand jury to determine if charges should be introduced.<\/p>\n<h3>Video Footage of the Events<\/h3>\n<p>Photojournalist Rebecca Brannon posted several videos on Twitter of the events that followed Saturday afternoon:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A woman\/man in green was one of the approximately dozen that were arrested for protesting\/demanding justice for Jordan Neely.

Manhattan prosecutors and detectives met to evaluate whether the case should be presented to a grand jury to determine if charges should be introduced. The New York City medical examiner confirmed on Wednesday that Neely died from a \u201cchokehold\u201d and ruled the incident a \u201chomicide,\u201d although that does not necessarily mean that a crime was committed.<\/p>\n<p>Penny\u2019s attorney\u2019s released a statement Friday afternoon, saying that Penny \u201cwas involved in a tragic incident on the NYC Subway, which ended in the death of Jordan Neely.\u201d The statement continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We would first like to express, on behalf of Daniel Penny, our condolences to those close to Mr. Neely. Mr. Neely had a documented history of violent and erratic behavior, the apparent result of ongoing and untreated mental illness. When Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived. Daniel never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death.<\/p>\n<p>For too long, those suffering from mental illness have been treated with indifference. We hope that out of this awful tragedy will come a new commitment by our elected officials to address the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-year-old-girl-pepper-sprayed-during-interaction-with-rochester-police\/\" title=\"9-Year-Old Girl Pepper Sprayed During Interaction With Rochester Police\">mental health crisis<\/a> on our streets and subways.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Neely, 30, had been arrested a staggering 42 times over the past decade by the New York Police Department. The New York Daily News reported that Neely was most recently arrested in November 2021 on felony assault charges after being accused of \u201cslugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face.\u201d The woman reportedly had serious injuries from the attack and Neely was jailed for over a year.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding Neely&#8217;s death, the violent protests and attacks on police officers are not the answer.
