The San Diego Police Department, spurred by the fallout from George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, has immediately banned a controversial restraint technique.
In San Diego, Police Chief David Nisleit and local elected officials announced Monday that officers would immediately stop using the carotid restraint as a use-of-force procedure amid nationwide protests against police brutality.In the carotid restraint, an officer applies pressure to vascular veins in order to temporarily cut off blood flow to the brain, rendering the person unconscious.
ChicagoThe Chicago Police Department implemented a new policy in February which classifies"carotid artery restraints" as a deadly force technique. In May 1982, Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl F. Gates banned the bar-arm chokehold after a 24-year-old black motorist sued in an effort to forbid the move.
