Police used an approved restraint position.

My oldest son is a LEO. He says that is NOT an approved restraint position in any department in the United States of America. I'll take his word for it.

Well, looks like your son is wrong.

It was a very common restraint technique until a few years ago and some PDs, have never banned it.

I was thinking this was not allow US wide also, but I found out different after some research. It is still allow in some parts of the US. Also have law enforcement friends thinking it was not allow US wide.

It is up to each state and local government of what is allow. Minneapolis gets sue I bet a low of places will be reviewing policies.

Most Minnesota law enforcement agencies ban the neck-pinning maneuver used against George Floyd — but it's still allowed in Minneapolis
