New York City will ban police restraints that choke people, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday
New York City will ban police restraints that choke people, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday, the latest in a series of reforms to law enforcement practices.
The New York Police Department already has a prohibition against officers’ use of chokeholds as restraints. NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo was fired in 2019 for using a banned chokehold that resulted in the 2014 death of Eric Garner in Staten Island. The new policy, which was approved by the City Council on Thursday, makes it a misdemeanor offense, punishable by up to a year in prison, for officers to restrict “the flow of air or blood by compressing the windpipe or the carotid arteries on each side of the neck, or sitting, kneeling, or standing on the chest or back in a manner that compresses the diaphragm.”
Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, said the protocols would increase public confidence amid a number of other changes instituted by the NYPD following the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis. He said he would sign the Council’s bill into law. "I am now convinced this is the right legislation to move forward with," he said.
A spokesman for the NYPD said Thursday that the legislation would make it more difficult for officers to make arrests.
