Neely never laid a hand on anyone on that train.

He made verbal threats. He was causing a scene. He was in an extremely excitable mood.

Sure Neely has a history of violence but Penny didn’t know about that.

All Penny saw and heard were verbal threats.

If Penny only grabbed Neely by the arm, that would be an assault. Penny wasn’t defending anyone from harm. Penny was restraining a man causing a disturbance.

If you are driving to Church and accidentally hit a bicycle rider because you failed to see them, and the died as a result……..you committed Manslaughter.
You accidentally killed someone.

I have always been against chokeholds. Chokeholds have become popular from WWF wrestling or WEF wrestling. Fake wrestling shows.

Chokeholds are dangerous and even Detroit Police won’t use them.

One can never gauge how much of a chokehold is too much, and then does the person that was choked out need CPR?

Bragg should have had a Grand Jury decide on what if any charges should be made.

Verbal threats, no matter how ugly are not enough for the use of deadly force.

Apparently, you and me are a small minority on this issue.

Penny did no different than when an airline passenger has to restrain an unruly threatening passenger on a plane until they land. You hear about it all the time.

There was violence when Neeley was confronted and had to be brought down

The preservation of life is not always justifiable when there are threats

With Neeley dead, the world is a better place
