LOUISVILLE, Ky. The neck restraint blamed for George Floyd’s death is allowed under Louisville Metro Police Department policy, but only in life-or-death situations that permit lethal force.  The department’s standard operating procedure cautions that officers should “avoid placing weight on a person’s neck” because of the “increased risk of injury.”  Many departments including Minneapolis, where Floyd died on Memorial Day last year  have banned chokeholds and neck restraint entirely.  Colorado banned them for police departments statewide and New York State created the crime of aggravated strangulation for police officers who use such restraints and cause serious physical injury or death.
