TL;DR Summary

11 protesters were arrested during a peaceful march in Manhattan over the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Police arrested some of the protestors for unspecified offenses, including unlawful sound amplification. A photojournalist covering the protest was also among those arrested. Police found a Molotov cocktail, a glass bottle with explosive material inside, at the march. Mayor Eric Adams said it was brought by someone who doesn't live in New York City, an outside agitator. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is still working with detectives before possibly presenting evidence to a grand jury.
