It seems you're having the comprehension problem:

Cops, however, said the brawl was caused when Jones began making comments to the students while sitting in his car outside the Starbucks, waiting for his wife to buy coffee. They said Jones also had an infant in the car.

Cops said Jones told the kids the way they were behaving "reflected poorly" on other black kids, but didn't specify if this was a gay slur.

They said the students began throwing bottles at the car and Jones got out wielding a screwdriver.

That's another problem...
...was he disarmed? The screwdriver wound was in Jones not on any of the gays.

So the cops filed charges against the guy just for saying to the kids that "the way they were behaving 'reflected poorly' on other black kids"? That doesn't sound real plausible to me, especially in NYC.
