After days of protests over racial injustice triggered by the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday said state lawmakers were set to enact a criminal justice overhaul that could become a model for the United States.
Cuomo said he and legislative leaders reached agreement over the weekend on a package of bills designed to curb police abuses, including one banning officers from using the so-called chokehold on suspects.
Calls for a chokehold ban have echoed in recent rallies and have grown louder since 2014, when a New York City policeman applied it to Eric Garner, a black suspect who pleaded “I can’t breathe” before dying. The demands of the thousands of protesters who have taken to the streets in cities nationwide have included curbs on policing to prevent racial injustice as well as an ill-defined call to “defund the police.”
