That does not mean that others should not prevent someone senior from breaking the law
I recall reading that you had to have special training to use the chock hold. Given their limited experience I doubt if they had completed the course and would not know what was permissible and what was not. Regardless, the police autopsy showed the guy didn’t die of because of being chocked. .
No that must have been someone else. We are not allowed to use any chokeholds in the Border Patrol. We have very strict use of force rules. The rules for use of force for a time were very lenient but over the years they have become very restricted. One really has to be careful and keep their head about them because if not one could find themselves under investigation for violation of use of force policies.
