DEVELOPING STORY: Protests have turned violent in New York City where hundreds of thugs clashed with police and shut down the subway system. Video, which you can watch below, show a number of individuals physically blocking trains by standing on the tracks. It’s a very dangerous situation. Police have made numerous arrests. The protests are in response to the death of Jordan Neely, a career criminal who died after he was put in a chokehold on the subway by a U.S. Marine veteran. Neely had been making terroristic threats when the Marine neutralized the threat. This page will be updated throughout the night.
