I dont have much information yet, but heard Newscum made a statement about what he referred to as "The Stranglehold." He stated this "Technique" is being addressed with POST and he is proposing the removal of this control hold from the training curriculum of law enforcement officials.
Newscum is incorrectly referring to the "Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint (LVNR)," also known as "The Carotid" or "Chokehold." He obviously doesn't understand the technique and is using the unfortunate death of Mr. Floyd as a reason to attempt to remove this technique from the training curriculum.
My opinion is, he is uninformed (As usual), and the removal of this technique from law enforcement training will further limit an officer's ability to restrain a combative subject. There are a greater number of things to consider prior to permanently removing this control technique from the law enforcement training curriculum.
Instead of completely removing this option from the training curriculum, why not train people how to correctly utilize the technique???
These knee jerk types of decisions infuriate me because if this is passed, it will not only increase the number of officers/deputies who are injured, it will also increase the number of lethal force encounters that we see. This in turn will also lead to an increase in civil lawsuits as officers and deputies are forced to resort to other force options or techniques which could cause greater injury to a subject.
This is just another example of how police officers and deputies hands will be further tied while they try to perform their duties to protect and serve the people of this state.
