Officer Omar Habib pleaded not guilty after prosecutors accused him of placing a man in an illegal chokehold. But the Bronx DA's office says Habib can be heard on his body camera recording asking himself, "what'd you do, bro?" Meanwhile, Jersey City residents are paying hundreds of dollars to apply for affordable housing. Mayoral candidate Bill O’Dea wants the fees to be eliminated. Finally, Governor Phil Murphy says Erin will miss the Garden State by a "substantial amount," but he's warning residents to avoid going in the water while the hurricane passes by.
