Floyd killing prompts some states to limit or ban chokeholds FARNOUSH AMIRI, COLLEEN SLEVIN and CAMILLE FASSETT, Report for America/Associated Press May 23, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail 3 1of3FILE - In this Saturday, July 19, 2014, file photo, a memorial for Eric Garner rests on the pavement near the site of his death, in the Staten Island borough of New York. In 2014, the world witnessed a New York police officer put Garner in a chokehold while arresting him for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes in Staten Island. The video, which would go on to set precedence for the documentation of police brutality, highlighted the use of a chokehold by the police department, which had banned the method in November 1993. But unlike in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing in 2020, little to no legislative change was spurred from Garner's death.John Minchillo/APShow MoreShow Less
