It’s a shame that the drug-induced, indigent homeless man lost his life that day. Too bad the city of New York has been more worried about taking care of illegals instead of their own homeless population. BUT Penny absolutely did the right thing. Lives were saved that day. Period.
The other people around him. The ones the druggie was scaring the shit out of. Those people. Penny didn't just walk up to some random person and decide to put them in a choke hold.
Did you also miss that that poor needs help criminal had been arrested numerous times prior for assaulting people? Yep, poor lil dude - maybe if the idiot criminal system there had done their job and imprisoned him for one of those crimes, he might have gotten some "help".
I agree that its a shame that this guy wasn't getting the help he needed or if he needed incarceration, that's fair. But it doesn't justify the (seemingly intentional) killing of the man. It was essentially an execution. This whole thing reminds me of the series of scary clowns that were killed in the news in 2015. Most people might not remember but there were news stories about scary clowns being seen and killed (just for being scary) and the news casters and people being interviewd seemed to have no questions about whether these killings were justified. It was assumed it was justifiable self defense. I actually suspect that those stories were fake (coms).

No clowns were killed.
Good chance they were comms, yes.
As for this case, I'm undecided, but it's not in my hands.
Sorry, not sorry. The guy was a violent person and was being abusive to others around him. Had I been there, I would have been on Penny's side.
