Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Police said they seized a molotov cocktail and arrested more than 10 people, including a prominent photojournalist, during a protest Monday night over the death of Jordan Neely, who was choked to death on the F train last week.
At a press conference later that evening, Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey and Chief of Patrol John Chell said the people taken into custody had violated several laws, including using a loud microphone and blocking the street. Before she was arrested, Keith had shot numerous photographs at the event, including one of a protester with a bloodied face.
“I want to make it clear: we respect people’s right to protest, we respect their first amendment rights, but we will not tolerate people breaking the law. More importantly, we will not tolerate people bringing weapons and dangerous substances to peaceful protests,” Maddrey said
