Minneapolis to ban use of chokeholds by police in wake of Floyd's death
By J. Edward Moreno - 06/05/20 01:35 PM EDT

Minnesota Department of Human Rights and the city of Minneapolis have agreed to ban the use of chokeholds by police, and have required officers to report and intervene when their colleagues use excessive force, according to the Associated Press.

The city council is expected to approve the move Friday as they mull several measures regarding the city police department in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis police custody last week.

The agreement applies to any officer regardless of rank and is court-enforceable. It reportedly requires officers who witness other officers using a chokehold to intervene verbally or physically.

Officers found violating agreements will be disciplined in a timely fashion, the agreement reportedly states.

"Minnesota Department of Human Rights and the city of Minneapolis have agreed to ban the use of chokeholds by police, and have required officers to report and intervene when their colleagues use excessive force, according to the Associated Press."

And right after the officers intervene and report on abuse they'll be fired which is what usually happens when good cops try to stop bad cops.

This is asinine.

Irrelevant.  The "Police Department" is soon to be a thing of the past in The Peoples Republic of Minneapolis.  There will be nobody to prohibit chokeholds from.
