Drone attack on Kremlin - Promising Alzheimer's drug - NYC homeless man's death

Source: Bloomberg

1. Summary
   Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, died on a NYC subway after being put in a chokehold for several minutes by another passenger. Neely reportedly yelled and threw garbage at passengers before being subdued.
   
   Juan Alberto Vázquez, a witness, claimed that Neely said "I don't have food. I don't have a drink. [...] I don't care if I go to jail, and if they give me life in prison … I am ready to die." Vázquez then recorded him. The footage showed Neely being choked by one man while another held him down, until he stopped moving. Vázquez told the New York Post that "None of us who were there" thought he might die.
   
   The medical examiner ruled Neely's death a homicide. The young man who held Neely was questioned and released. Prosecutors are considering charges. Neely had been arrested at least 40 times before for assault, disorderly conduct, and fare evasion. Some locals reportedly were fond of him and his Michael Jackson impersonations. The city's comptroller said "NYC is not Gotham" and that vigilantism should not be allowed.
