BREAKING: Mayor Bowser just officially renamed the section of 16th street in front of the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza.”

[ConservativeMind]

Well, shooting is still allowed and it makes a bigger sound.

[BBQToadRibs]

Let’s just disarm the police, put them in pajamas, and have them hand out sternly worded citations.

I remember back in the 1970s NJ State Police carried nun-chuks. They were outlawed to. The cops used them for choke holds.

[Sans-Culotte]

I thought they were banning the police entirely?

[reasonisfaith]

Maybe they should ban whatever was going on at the nightclub where Chauvin and Floyd worked, the El Nuevo Rodeo Club.

How about a Pepper Martin sleeper hold?

[ifinnegan]

It’s a big circle. Rodney King keeps trying to get up when told to stay in the ground. Policy was to hit the person resisting in this way when he tries to get up against orders. So it looks like King is being beaten for no reason.

Ok. Change policy. No hitting with baton. Use an alternative form of restraint, don’t hit with baton. Incapacitate with foot to neck. Much more humane than hitting with baton.

Why ban any Police tactics when they are going to shut the Department down and contract BlM cops to care for the safety of citizens?

[cgbg]

Rookies reporting veterans—oh yeah, like that is going to happen...career infanticide.

[The Toll]

People that do absolutely nothing to keep the public safe, setting the boundaries for the people that actually have to face down murderers. Works every time!

[SkyDancer]

Why? They’re going to be disbanded or something. No cops. No worries about police brutality (/sarc).

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Why even add the word chokeholds to the title?

[reg45]

Without access to chokeholds, the police will just have to shoot resisters.

[reg45]

They should all be trained in the use of the Vulcan nerve pinch. /sarcasm

[CharlesWayneCT]

So long as everybody agrees on what tactics are allowed, and then all officers are trained properly in those tactics, and then officers are not doxxed, suspended, or fired when they follow the guidelines, I think it is reasonable to ban some things if you think they lead to a week of riots and looting.

ALthough this wasn’t a choke hold case, so it’s a good example of liberals not addressing the current problem.

[deener]

The fact that the council is going to ban choke holds now tells me that they WERE NOT illegal at the time of Floyd’s death.

[Pollard]

Choke hold, done with the arms

So kneeling on the neck is still ok?

[GreyFriar]

I thought that police departments had forbidden the use of “choke holds” decades ago.
