A law banning New York law enforcement from using either a chokehold or a move that compresses someone's diaphragm during an arrest has been reinstated after a state Supreme Court appeals court ruling on Thursday.
The court's ruling reversed a June 2021 decision by the state Supreme Court that deemed the law"unnecessarily vague" and voided the ban in its entirety. A coalition of police unions brought the lawsuit against the city in 2020.New York Police Department officials have previously argued that chokeholds were already banned by the department and that officers are taught that once someone is subdued, they should be placed sitting up so they can breathe freely.
