Some law enforcement agencies ban controversial neck hold after George Floyd's death

Outrage over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has prompted a string of law enforcement agencies - including more than a dozen in California - to announce an end to the use of a controversial neck hold designed to slow or stop a person's blood flow.

 

A Times analysis of statewide data found that law enforcement in California reported officers seriously injuring 103 people while using carotid neck holds from 2016 through 2018, the most recent years for which data is available.

 

Two people were killed and 91 were left unconscious. Black people, who are about 6.5% of California's population, made up 23% of people injured by neck restraints.
