There is no law in the Penal Code outlawing the use of a choke-hold. Policy is not law.
Can be fired for using it, can lose legal protections for the act of using it, but the specific act is not in-itself illegal.

I don’t think it was even a choke hold.

If as a police officer you’re not authorized to use a choke hold then it’s an illegal assault.

Period.
