[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1488587, member: 44954"] And there it is. It was a choke hold, the video and autopsy show it. The problem comes in how choke hold is defined in regards to their patrol guide. The NYPD basically redefined the term choke hold so their officers could get away with it. From the CCRB report on the choke hold rule: [I]"This pragmatic redefinition of the rule in response to the NYPD’s systematic refusal to impose discipline in all but the most severe chokehold cases, evolved into an unwritten, much less protective definition: actual and sustained interference with breathing was substituted for the Patrol Guide’s clear and unequivocal prohibition of any pressure to the neck which “may” inhibit breathing. In essence, inadequate disciplinary practices transplanted the heart of the chokehold rule during a period in which, as the number of chokehold complaints suggests, chokehold incidents were increasing. The NYPD’s blanket prohibition of chokeholds should be restored and uniformly enforced."[/I] [URL='http://www.nyc.gov/html/ccrb/downloads/pdf/Chokehold%20Study_20141007.pdf']http://www.nyc.gov/html/ccrb/downloads/pdf/Chokehold Study_20141007.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
