FILE - This undated file photo provided by Christopher Harris shows George Floyd. Floyd died May 25, after he was pinned to the pavement by a police officer who put his knee on the handcuffed black man's neck until he stopped breathing.
The changes are part of a stipulation posted online between the city and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, whichthis week in response to the death of George Floyd. The City Council was expected to approve the agreement Friday. Similarly, any officer who sees another officer commit any unauthorized use of force, including any chokehold or neck restraint, must try to intervene verbally and even physically. If they don’t, they’d be subject to discipline as severe as if they themselves had used the prohibited force.
Maurice Lester Hall, a longtime friend of Floyd’s, was a passenger in Floyd’s car when police approached him May 25 as they responded to a call about someone using a forged bill at a shop. Hall told the newspaper that Floyd was trying to show he was not resisting.Hall is a key witness in the state’s investigation into the four officers who apprehended Floyd.
Morning_Joe This should have happened long ago!
Perfect.
Brilliant!! BUT where there is a really bad dude threatening a police officer they DO need to be able to protect themselves and the public.
whitneywondersx The killing of black men by 'certain' Police is an intentional tactic to foment unrest within society. The numbers show white people are killed more by Police, but media driven narratives stoke the fires of racism by continuously highlighting only the people killed by Police.
Morning_Joe About time!!! Why isn’t the practice of police policing their own common protocol?
Morning_Joe Joe and Mika: don’t take the bait tomorrow about defunding police coverage. We need radical change, reform, and appropriate budgets for policing. We need anti racist policing.
Morning_Joe
He didn’t die from a chokehold tho.. and no cop should be doing that anyway
votegriffin
Unauthorized use of force is a crime you should arrest people for. It’s called assault. Maybe the police could arrest the person committing a crime for a crime?
Morning_Joe Why is this black Trump supporter who’s knocked out not all over twitter
The issue is not just about the black lives matter, but the fact that ethnic communities all around the globe matter to all human lives, because racism in every corner of the planet in a modernised hidden form drives a well-designed institutionalised system.
Morning_Joe What about the don’t ask don’t tell rule, does that apply to police brutality too!?
They must be PROSECUTED when they don’t.
We need a federal organization or something to monitor all police activity throughout the country so that every police station is held accountable.
Cops never lie so this will all work out!
Mandatory body cams and hold them accountable! Any interruption in body cam footage should be immediately investigated!
Morning_Joe Thank God!
NOW required to report? They weren’t before? Yet, police investigate themselves? Something isn’t adding up. Throw the whole system away and start over.
SorinaMatei The new icon of the Americans.
highlighting chokehold but not addressing the root of the issue - racism will not create the change needed ... identify and eradicate the cause, the root of ALL the problems.
That city had their own medical examiner straight up lie on an autopsy and you expect other police to step in and report on their own kind now suddenly? I thought that was always the law. This is a joke
Morning_Joe thank you Joe for telling it like it is, keep on keeping on. . . your talented on so many different levels, my husband and I watch you guys every morning, i'd like to send you, humbly a song I wrote. . .thanks for letting me share. . . Show less
I hope the complete police force resigns , they should all take 1 sick, & you would have the taxpayers revolt against the politicians
Why not just go ahead and ban handcuffing, also.
Next step is to EXPOSE THE KKK WITHIN EVERY POLICE DEPT HIDING BEHIND THE BADGE. and ALL OTHER POSITIONS OF POWER...EXPOSE EXPOSE EXPOSE!!!
Morning_Joe My granddaughter will be brought up to respect all individuals, no matter what race or gender. However, she will read what a disgrace your current President is. She will learn to know the gooodness in people and those that spread hatred.
It’s a step. Still not enough
Take away their MONEY. Dont make up more rules that they arent going to follow and wont get persecuted for breaking MinneapolisPD CityMinneapolis
'police would also be required to report and intervene any time they see an unauthorized use for force by another officer' oh yeah im sure thatll work great! and id they dont so it, well, we can rely on /other/ officers to report that! its foolproof!
A decent start.
But wasn't chokeholds banned in NYC long before Eric Garner in 2014? And it's already a requirement to report dirty cops. It's why any 'good cop' generally get screwed over for trying to do the right thing. I mean Minneapolis hasn't been as bad as NY so maybe it means more there?
Police are already required to report unauthorized use of force by another officer and chokeholds were already discard by the police in Minneapolis 20 years ago. Nice to see they’re negotiating in good faith.sarcasm Maybe instead of ‘negotiating’ the state can just make it law.
SarahSaysS0 What happens when a suspect has a knife and Officer is in real close and a choak hold as you say is used to save officers life, should he be prosecuted as only other item in officers belt that will work here is his gun.
I had some thoughts on police training officers & protocol
Progress one city, one state at a time.
The hold that killed George Floyd was already banned.
Choke holds had a legal valid purpose; they were to be used only under extreme conditions, where police were unable to subdue the person. The maneuver was not the problem, it was the many officers that incorrectly & improperly chose to use it.
🙏🏽💯👍🏾🙏🏽💯👍🏾🙏🏽💯👍🏾
sabrina68 not gonna cut it. police can’t be trusted to stay within boundaries AbolishThePolice
CharlesLumia Sick of all of this! Peeps please just go home!
As if THAT will fix the problem.
Community citizens need more say in the investigation/appeals of misconduct. They shouldn’t be allowed to be re-hired when they are fired or resign for misconduct. All complaints against officers must be transparent. Bodycam must always be on - if not, it’s an offence.
Nah. They’ve had how long to approach some semblance of human decency and consistently choose to be shit? Go back to pushing for dismantling them. Pigs belong in pens, not uniform.
Distractions.
Okay but who will enforce these rules? Is it... the broken system already in place?
HIS BODY REST IN PEACE BUT HIS SOUL HAS ALREADY RESURECTED IN PARADISE.
don’t be shy, ban the police
Why was this policy in the first place? Why did eliminating it require negotiation?
Very good , keep distance from an arrested person is good . If no cooperation use non lethal means !
Oh boy, I hope they listen
This is so 2020. We've been gaslit to think that a police force should have rules NOT to use choke holds and that other police should report wrongdoing of their fellow officers. Maybe add a rule that arrested should be allowed to breathe? 🙄
Sounds like putting a band-aid on a geyser
On penalty of what?
Put a knee to the neck of the of the next criminal Save the citizens the money for prosecution
That's bullshit to imply that wasn't policy before.
And if they do not, they should face equal charges, and complicity.
Wasn’t aware being a decent fucking human being was something that needed to be agreed upon.
See the state has the control and power on their police forces. So who again the Governor of Minnesota and the Mayor of Minneapolis.
How is this related. He wasn't choked to death.
Give Kaepernick his JOB back Now & back PAY!!! Pay Floyds family too. They knew all along what Kaepernick meant when he took the knee. “STOP KILLING US, WE NEED YOUR HELP OWNERS, HEAD COACHES & Asst. COACHES TO. THEY didn’t CARE. So they ignore him and fired him.
Wtf? Just a chokehold? What about a knee, a gun? They should intervene when it's brutal and unnecessary! People don't even be resisting they just manhandle them bc they're mad at the person's skin color or that they were talking shit!
But are police misconduct reports public record?
I am ok with that- but these people need to pay for the damage they've done. they won't . all the peaceful protesters bragging how peaceful they were a few nights after the courthouse burned done. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE GUYS
Oh wow. It's not like police have ever lied to protect each other before.
shinnick_g But please make sure you report it quietly back at the office where the protestors can't hear you so we can say the same thing, 'we didn't hear you'. Hell even if they do report and it makes the news Trump will call it FAKE NEWS anyway.
hooray, no fkn progress
FOX19 Breaking: Minneapolis police plan to issue officers feathers instead of gun so they can tickle them into submission
Paigeblkcreativ Not enough — NYC also banned chokeholds before Eric Garner. The problem is that “bans” are toothless when police aren’t held accountable for it — they need to be illegal and police need to be punished (Read FIRED), not protected, if they use it or see a colleague attempting it.
Not enough.
Do not condone the force used, as horrible tragedy by 1 bad rogue officer (who I assume didn't realise he was killing him) but the media need to stop putting GeorgeFloyd on a pedestal as an angelic model citizen who helped old ladies & ran an injured hedgehog sanctuary...
This should have ALREADY BEEN THE STANDARD.
WarRoomWarRoom Did that work for Eric Garner?
Thank God, it’s about time!
meth heads cant be choked? what about regular people?
LeeMajdoub They're NOT already required to report police brutality?
That's good but doesn't change the fact the chokehold used on Floyd was not a standard, police approved hold.
Chokeholds are already illegal for cops and they are already supposed to report each other for committing crimes. They don't. This is literally them doing nothing about it.
Books educated humans are the easiest species to be brainwash,hypnotize by their own kind. A famous writer said, it's easier to fool people then to convince them that they have been fooled. I say,Words are cheap,that's why the humans are using it, is more profit for the top 10%
So let me get this straight. Minneapolis is having a discussion about banning something that has been illegal for almost 20 years and to tell on their fellow officers when they break the law. Woooow. Sounds like their job to me 🙄 !disaster this country!
OUT OF THOUSANDS OF EXPERTS,CIVIL RIGHTS &RELIGION LEADERS,POLITICIANS, CELEBRITY,DEMONSTRATORS,DID ANY 1TOOK THE TIME 2 ASK THOSE COPS,WHY?OR THAT'S NOT THEIR OBJECTIVE OR BEST INTERESTS,IT CUTS INTO THEIR PROFITS LIFESTYLE.We do ask a child why they did it.PHONY,KEEP BITCHING.
I find it astonishing that police rules did not apparently ALREADY 'require police to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer'. You had to make that MANDATORY? Good grief, no wonder you've got a problem.
Finally! But why weren’t officers required to intervene before!? “Brotherhood” I get; a cult of violent nincompoops I don’t.
Because cops don't break rules and are always investigated by totally non corrupt people. Seems legit. Good work.
Its not enough. The police have proven they cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
Lmao did I read that last part right?
still waiting for transformative. this is more of the same nothing that brought us to where we are today
You can buy drugs we still do it. You cnat drink and drive we atill do it. You cant j walk we still do it. Cant drive with no seatbelt we still do it.
Ya like they ever will intervene if they wont do the right thing first time why would they even do it now.
BlackLivesMatter take a knee, but NEVER lay prostrate - it is a form of subjugation, domination, submission. And it is exactly what the dictator wanna be and his enablers want! Protests2020 RT the HELL OUT OF THIS - IT TRULY MATTERS! DemocracyUnderThreat
But who even asked the Minnesota Department of Human Rights? They are also complicit in police brutality in Minnesota as they threw out all complaints against mpd. Listen to Black organizers. Abolish the police. h8 this city’s incompetent council/mayor BlackLivesMatter
Did you guys know that Minneapolis has been controlled by Democrats for 40 years? Democrat policies are cancer
WorldProfessor That’s not the case already?
21WIRE is that for poc, or do all lives matter?
How was this not already banned? My stupidity assumed this manoeuvre was already illegal.
2021 Cop: chokes teenager to death* PD: charges cop with misconduct* Liberals: 👏🏻now👏🏻that’s👏🏻accountability
Arrests made, justice served, chokeholds banned. Nothing to protest anymore. The fact that there were only a few dozen deaths of CRIMINALS while being ARRESTED (mostly Whites) out of 320+ MILLION people in the U.S., is a tribute to how well law enforcement works and protects. 🚁
21WIRE Demilitarising 'policing' is only way out & forward.
I would like to know what happened before this 'famous chokehold' happened!
Did we need to burn down every city in America to get this to happen?
Too little too late.
Give the police, nationwide, the authority to arrest murdering cops. Do we need to draw a fine line of distinction between the act and the Police Unions of America? Fuck the police unions of America. The compassionate order of... what was that again...union?
JulieBorowski That's a fine first move, but it suggests officers will actually report each other. Plus, unions will always protect those who break the rules.
Any police officer using the chokehold should be fired on the spot.
21WIRE The [Power] of the MSM is intangible!
First step should be actual punishment for those police who commit murder and those who are complicit. They do it because they are basically untouchable right now. Go over all the other past cases too and start holding them accountable for their actions. That's justice.
I’m confused. I know many in law enforcement and I’m confident taht choke holds are already banned. Are we double banning them?
That wasn't a choke hold George was it look again
NYPD banned chokeholds how many years before Eric Garner?
So they were not required to intervene or report before?
Hey
Racism is mainly visible in countries with a large population of Caucasian Christians. They are religious hypocrites. They are more racist than they are religious. See the article below:
More Now
Might wanna ask Eric Garner’s ghost how much NYC’s ban on the choke hold helped him. Or you could ask NYCMayor, who did NOTHING to enforce the ban.
May George Floyd Rest In Peace. What happened to him is horrific. Those 4 cops should never be free.
Tell them in Buffalo
This is bad journalism. Chokeholds were already illegal in Minneapolis. The murderers acted illegally. The second sentence is real tho.
QueenOfTheWilis No you fuckers dissolve the police or this will keep happening
HistoryHeroes At least some meaningful real good changes coming out of this
Take the lawsuit money out of the pigs pension funds
Is this satire chokeholds were already illegal and not part of training. Common sense would say you don’t need a law to step in when what is happening is wrong.
About that picture.... 🤔
This would have been a good policy 50 years ago
Georg Floyd was killed in a democratic ruled State, the Governor should quit, because he is the chief of the Police Forces in Minnesota! It is like the captain on a ship!
What happened to don’t be snitchin?
Great choke holds have been illegal for some time in our state.
Lol. This won't change shit.
2nly, it's not better to use more force against the police and civilian police who protects your country even if they are not doing their job. It's your own money, protect it. Charge the authorities not obeying the rule of law and abusing use of force, which will be needed .
Why would they want to use this when not required is ridiculous. I'm already being insulted with comments about idiocies and meds which, since related to the US Army medical department, they can use as act of war against their intelligence. -Also unfair to favor, whoever.
Cops will just pull out their gun more often. We all know this will never be banned in America
Aside from the fact it's an empty gesture.. this ain't a chokehold. When someone keeps breaking the rules you can't just make new ones, you make new consequences too.
The cops are expected to police themselves? Are they not already expected to report illegal activity? These are worthless, defund the police now.
I agree with that but let us get real. There is crime and we need police. If the police can get together in the neighborhoods to get to know the people it will help. The youth of America needs to know arson and looting is not protesting and points need to be made with peace.
Oh you mean police finally have to do the job they were hired to do in the first place. 🤡🤡🤡
Why did NEGOTIATORS have to get the City of Minneapolis to agree with the State ban? Was there reluctance to adopt the prohibition and whisteblowing measure? If yes,Why?
you better do better than that obsessive force is already illegal and thats not stopping them. and just for the record, a knee on your neck is not a choke hold ffs
if you have to ban a chokehold, your organization is beyond reformation. but i guess is supposed to make ppl feel better and get back to the status quo asap, amirite?
PatriciaKAdams Here come the work slowdowns. We've been down this road before with MPD and they don't like new rules.
Like when the whole riot squad reported that the old man who was pushed by them and broke his skull 'tripped and fell by himself'
roybelly It’s a start but why it took a man dying for authorities to realize choking out a handcuffed human being is a bad idea?
So the police will police themselves, I see. If they really want to make a difference why not make it a crime to turn off their body cam.
Dem cities are the most outdated in policy and procedure, it LE hasn't used these holds for a long time now.
it's intevene*
TTWaiyaki Kenyan police use “ballshold”. It works and is safer...MinneapolisPD CityMinneapolis
Anyone else who uses it gets 45 to life. That’s it.
Time for a Nationwide ban
It was banned in NYC when they killed Eric Garner, too. DisbandPolice
Nope. This ain’t enough.
The rear naked Chokehold was banned in New York and the officers that murdered Eric Garner didn't face repercussions..
Sad but necessary.
This is such bullshit!
Crumbs.
'negotiators'?
En México, los estrangulamientos son esenciales en los combates de lucha, ¡tal vez tu policía necesite más entrenamiento!
It's a start. Now who exactly will report on other cops? The other 3 at the Floyd murder stayed pretty silent!
“Would”......are they not already required to do that
Negotiators? Like what you have with terrorists.
How bout they ban all racists & remove them from policing? Their fellow cops know who they are.
Y’all still trusting the police to report each other? These folks intimidate and bully each other like gang members. Hit them where it hurts: take their money!
Liberal City, Liberal Elected Officials
cooperchip1 'Police would also be required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer.' Seriously? This is the current problem, the cops policing themselves!
What the killers did was already not allowed. Yet it was done. What now?
I can’t believe they were a thing. What kind of training are they teaching cops? I’m glad chokeholds were banned and now let’s make all unnecessary use of force illegal
ExpatriationLaw Minneapolis NEEDS TA BAN DA POLICE.
What will be the consequences if police officers violate these new laws? How will the be disciplined?
You need to have better means of handling people at the Police Academy as well check their resume thoroughly and Call as we know all about cover ups and the better treatment of our officers for bad behavior don't get documented, make up things for just cause
In 9 days of peaceful protest against police brutality we’ve seen over 200 videos of extreme police brutality from every state. It’s got worse. Talk is cheap. Let’s see the cops stop killing and maiming innocent people for just 1 day. The whole world has witnessed this evil.
NO!! NoJusticeNoPeaceProsecuteThePolice BlackLivesMatter It is ALREADY against the law to use chokeholds (duh) and murder people. Yet, here we are.
There MUST be a Nationwide ban!
'Police should do the right thing'
AndreaDoremus Slowly we win. Step by step. Inch by inch.
This is a good first step.
Police unions have outsized power to protect police from consequences of misconduct. That needs to change.
How will this be enforced? That's always the problem.
May he rest in peace, but it's time for more people to focus now on BREONNA TAYLOR. She has been murdered in her home three months ago, and her murderers are still working and roaming free.
How on Earth were they not ALREADY required to report uses of unauthorized force by another officer? Fast food employees have to report to management if they drop a damn burger patty.
VIOLENCE: • Microaggressions • Offensive jokes • Misgendering • Opinions I disagree with NON-VIOLENCE: • Looting • Arson • Rioting • Punching conservatives I hope that’s clear.
Still not enough. There needs to be third party oversight. Or nothing will change. They will continue to investigate themselves and find nothing wrong.
Given that murder never happens anymore because it's illegal I'm sure this will definitely make a difference.
So they retroactively banned something illegal in the first place? HEROES!
They still gone do what they want, this is the white mans country, like come on y’all for real, these white people diabolical!!
What about a knee in the neck, a knee in the back, holding their heads face down while they are laying on their stomachs? Stuff like that, I don't recall seeing a choke hold lately. Did I miss something?
And who are these so called 'negotiators?' It aint over until WE say its over first of all. Second of all we want PUNISHMENT!!! Anything else is just lip service.
This needs to be national POTUS this would be a great executive order.
Don’t settle for this. Chokeholds were banned in New York years before they killed Eric Garner.
FugitiveVette How are we in 2020 and this is breaking news to intervene when you see your coworker doing bad? How about be a decent human being!
karoagono Change is happening!✊ They're listening. Do the ones in Nigeira have ears at all or only left brains?
Too little too late
Wow I bet all those murdering cops who didn't follow the old rules because they got away with it 99% of the time will definitely follow these new rules!
Or else... what? What will happen if they break these rules?
How was it permissible to begin with?
Such a tragedy it took so long. As for GeorgeFloyd THAT was NOT a fucking chokehold! PoliceBrutalityPandemic is off the charts. I support equality and denounce PoliceBrutality globally. But what’s going on in the US has got to stop. EnoughIsEnough SantaMonicaProtest today✊🏼
The cops cannot police themselves, they've already shown that. How is making them promise to behave and self report going to be verified & enforced
This had to be negotiated? 'Police would also be required to report crimes' is how I read this. 'Unauthorized use of force' by one person against another could also be classified as 'crime.'
How many times they gonna ban chokeholds just for them to be used time and time again
Negotiations?
The bar is this low.
Reactionary policy is stupid enough, but what do chokeholds have to do with the Floyd tragedy? Never let a crises go to waste indeed.
its a start, go on, keep going.
This isnt going to change a thing. They already ignore the rules. What's one more regulation to them?
Cops have been 'required' to do a lot of things that clearly hasn't meant a God damn thing. No one wants to see more suggestions police can ignore, we want the assurance these atrocities won't happen, and if they do, police are held accountable just like anyone else would be.
Are we saying then that police have not be required to report unauthorised use of force by another officer up to now?
You know they eliminate that chokeholds tactics in the 90s who the hell put it back in the first place 🤔
How about banning knees on the neck? Smdh.
the Blue Line must be exposed
Great ... but why do you need a law to tell cops to do the right thing. You either serve & protect life or you don’t. A law isn’t needed for common sense.
Drtre81 They will just act as if they don't see anything
I will never understand somebody who got out of prison for home invasion, armed robbery, and drug charges, is allowed to work security... ANYWHERE. GeorgeFloyd was a horrible person who terrorized people. Stop making him ot to be a hero. He has never been a good guy.
Were these pigs not meant to intervene when they see some fuckery happening before? America is hell.
Why did the federal government not ban chokeholds after Eric Garner was strangled by a cop in New York?
This dystopia is getting ridiculous
FoR everyone here talking about police body cams. They are always off. They have to be turned on. In police cats that are equipped with cameras. They are always on.
Great start!
Oh this wasn’t required before? 🤦🏾♂️
Crazy that they were legal. Most police departments have banned them for years because they are dangerous.
What? How about outlawing the unconscious knee to the neck restraint that's literally spelled out in your protocols! The Chokehold is one of the safest restraint maneuvers possible. Besides the issue isn't the myriad of ways cops can kill people, its that they do needlessly.
ChanelOdette Sound like common sense would apply here. People don't use common sense anymore
So youre just going to put cops lives in danger by tieing their hands behind their backs? The cops should just stay in their cars and let the criminals do whatever they want, i know I would.
Ok then criminals have to agree not to resist arrest.
...will they report and intervene is the question...
Can Minnesota go ahead and ban murder so no one else gets killed?
Were they asleep on the wheel for all these decades, and even when we had Obama leading the nation for eight years? Better late than never!
deljamesgang There was absolutely no need to even hold GeorgeLloyd in any hold, any officer of the law should have his/her ass kicked to the kerb for any racist tendencies. oneworld onerace human 🖤🖤🖤
Democrats have run Minneapolis for decades. Why they just now banning this move? LAPD banned it in the 70s.
How about knees on necks?
If he was white noone would've said a thing.
Honestly, I can guarantee that cops are going to stop engaging all together. Why would they, detail scrutinized. I’m not sure why people are even signing up anymore. Feel for them.
This means absolutely nothing, unless 1) there is true accountability and 2) the culture is changed. If they're still rewarded for the old behavior, or, at least, not punished, they have no incentive to switch to the new.
I'm sure they'll hold themselves accountable *this* time.
The law hating commies still won’t be appeased
Won't stop em :(
Not enough, they lie a lot.
Negotiators for the city of Minneapolis agree with the state to ban the use of chokeholds by police. ❌ Unreasonable Police would also be required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by ✅ Good
Minneapolis Mayor should be charge for abetting to his death too since he is directly responsible for his police force who allowed this tactic to be used.
How about “any officer that turns off or covers up his/her body cam is immediately fired.”
they pinkie promise this time you guys
Police are not going to rat on each other. All this is going to do is increase use of force that IS permitted, and they're still going to get hurt just in a different way. A lot more batons are going to be swung and arms broken behind their backs.
Is this enforceable without video evidence on social media?
Make a law that for every case of excessive force by any one cop results in a decrease in pension and other benefits. And then add some positive incentive for good behavior as well.
watergatesummer How sad that the blue line has been stronger than compassion. Firemen save grandmas & kittens. Too many police view themselves as warriors instead of mediators. If they emphasized saving people, they might be better liked. Ya think?
Israeli forces trained cops in ‘restraint techniques’ at Minneapolis conference

truthglow There needs to be a zero tolerance policy for violent officers. If you engage in violence its automatic termination and maybe jail time depending on the severity
They still do it
'We made murder illegal' Nah, abolish the pigs
They will never report each other.
Police won't intervene or report, they have an unspoken moral code to never interrupt each others' lawlessness. Every single cop in the US should simply be put to trial.
What cop would be stupid enough to kill somebody while he knows he's being filmed by a stranger? The standby cop also did nothing to stop the filming. People fell for a psy-op on TV.
ThankfulThinker Or they could just do this...
Big of them
It’s a good start but many police officers have brutality built in to their beahvior, as we’ve seen. The unions also need to stop protecting the bad cops
What are the consequences? They need to be severe.
This is dumb. It's not the chokehold that's bad, it's the application of the technique, and the attitude of law enforcement towards its citizens. By this logic you should ban guns as well. You have to choke someone for a LONG time to kill them, but you can kill with 1 shot.
AnwarKnight Why the hell are chokeholds legal police maneuvers and why would they need to agree to ban any further use?
How many will resign because of this i wonder
Lol wait till people get mad when cops start tazing/pistol whipping/hickory shampooing people a greater rates. All of which have risks of death depending on the potential target's medical issues both known and unknown.
They need to stop playing around, doing the least they can do
NYC banned chokeholds before Eric Garner was strangled to death. Didn't do any good.
StopMotionsolo This only a drop in the sea of violence from police. Mr. Floyd didn’t die of a chokehold. We need to set this bar higher and not accept scraps.
Natasha_Chandel Well this is a nice thought but we all know they lie for each other. That won’t change. Maybe you clean house and hire officers who aren’t already racist.
And this will lead to:
This should include not sitting on someone’s back so they can’t breath. There are plenty of less lethal ways of restraint. Teach them!
rolandsmartin THE POLICE ARE NOT GOING TO OBEY THE LAW BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEY'RE GOD
They won't report shit. They need to enforce body cams with manual reviews by an impartial third party.

U_Cant_Undo_F8 This is what happen when the human cops actually try to do the right thing. The system is corrupted, dismantle it and restart over.
I just read that police officers are under no obligation to do anything, legally or otherwise, when they see one of their own using excessive force on a civilian. USA. USA. USA. Shame. Shame. Shame.
JulieBorowski easier to just shoot criminals anyways
If you can't intervene when you notice an unauthorized use of force by a fellow officer, it might be time to consider a different career option. One where other's lives and safety are not your job to uphold. You can't afford to be a bystander AND an officer.
rolandsmartin Saying they’re banned is the same as saying it frowned upon.
Something is still not right about this like I believe they trying to be funny
This is new? What were the rules before?!
Democrats cause this and you blame Mr Trump..you people are so mixed up..show that your not educated...at all to Blame some one that had nothing to do with that State at all...just shows the world how corrupt the Democrats are

Ridiculous. Just AbolishThePolice
Need to ban killing black babies you need to ban killing black babies in the name of George Floyd don’t kill black babies in the name of George Floyd don’t kill black babies in the name of George Floyd you hypocrites
This wont stop the murder and killings
Good luck in getting honorable officers.
Wait, they weren’t already required to report and intervene?
They're not going to intervene. The current 'good' cops aren't intervening when they see bad cops beating the shit out of peaceful protesters.
They need to ban the use of strongholds as well. I spoke with a retired policeman two days ago who informed me the police differentiate between the two which would both accomplish the same deadly task eightcantwait
This has been the cover for bad cops. Don’t propagate it. STAND UP good police. Don’t look away while a colleague commits a crime. “The code of silence is often noted among police officers. This prevents a police officer from incriminating another officer for their wrongdoing.
This was long overdue! | and pls follow me I only have a few followers :( |
Jonna be a lot of broken arms from arm locks
LMFAO EXPECTING THE POLICE TO SELF REPORT ARE YOU COMPLETELY GONE
Let’s ban resisting arrest at the same time.
I like how this means they weren't required to intervene and report any of it before
demario__davis Now police would be required to report and intervene anytime they see unauthorized use of force? You weren't required to do that before?
I would leave Minneapolis Chaos is coming
How about using a net gun?
That is great. Next, ban them from beating the crap out of people with batons and pushing people down. I have more. I'll make a list for them.
TonyTodd54 If Minneapolis PD is trained on “choke hold” that’s how screwed up they are. I don’t know any other PD that trains on the choke hold.
Milquetoast bullshit
Any of you twitter lawyers know if it’s illegal to point a gun at a pregnant woman and rob her?
There was already a requirement to report for that in Minneapolis. So will they start enforcing it or not?
Welcome to the 21st Century I suppose
THIS IS NOTHING
And who’s enforcing that?
This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life. Do people in Minneapolis live like dogs in kennels, just waiting for their next meal to be served? Seriously how low information and low IQ do you need to be? I would rather be choked than shot - any other BJJ fans Tweet up.
Roleplayers_TV Don’t stop here we need to keep going
The asshole Minneapolis police should not “agree” to stop using a choke hold or knee on human beings. They serve the people not the other way around! They are told not to endanger any person and the say...yes how high!
The fact that people were being treated as inanimate objects before this policy change speaks volumes. It’s 2020 and just now this is being addressed
How about we get people to agree to stop breaking the law. That includes refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, when they are making a lawful arrest, regardless of whether you personally agree with it or not.
MaryRWilliams4 This is the type of simple steps that should have been taken.... decades ago!
The issue is how do we make sure this is enforced? As we see in Buffalo the police will stand by eachother even when they’re evidently wrong
Too little, too late. Bye bye.
ok now make it so body cams can't be turned off
WorldProfessor Mr. Floyd dreamt of becoming a Judge. I 🙏🏼 there’s a God & Heaven for him to rest peacefully. He will forever be remembered along with all of the Black innocent people as the igniters of CHANGE! RIP.
I mean, that's swell, but if it takes a murder and a week of protests to get a city to make a couple of procedural tweaks then 20 years from now we'll have moved a couple of inches in the right direction. SystemicChangeNow
deljamesgang 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿🙏🏻
We have already seen that cops wont report other cops this is dumb
Can be ban the use of AntifaTerrorists
This is nice, but sad it had to happen this way. These policies should never have been implemented in the first place. These new rules also do not guarantee chokeholds will not be used in the future. Police are not supposed to execute people either and yet here we are
Good luck enforcing that last part. They're absolutely a cult and won't allow any sort of dissent.
This absolutely is not enough
the fact that there needs to be some law/rule to be put in place for this. This should be automatic. But since it’s clearly not it better be enforced. If any officer has a problem with that they shouldn’t be one to begin with. Hand your badge over, you were a disappoint anyways.
It wasn't a choke hold and that didn't kill George.
Yeah, they're not breaking the silence. Can they do it anonimously maybe?
they should ban police
Wow, they promise to follow the rules from now on. Well, that’s it, protests over I guess 😂 Fuuuuuck the police.
When you have tell your son he's black.
Ummm like really? I didn’t know we couldn’t use basic common sense to intervene, it required to enforce the ban of illegal choke hold. Jesus Christ. Like seriously, this is the most insulting thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
thank you protesters.........you are making a difference
Next, PsychologicaL Testing every 2 years - it has to be stressfuL being a cop 😓 USA 🇺🇸 Policestate 👮♂️⛓
Not good enough. Violation must require felony charges and dismissal, along with a ban from any further police work.
MN cops to revert back to shooting blacks.
Here's another man, Tony Timpa, killed just like Floyd in Dallas... so hopefully they'll skip the choke holds as well. Unless it's a life or death situation of course & the suspect has a weapon.
Keep going.
What about putting bodycams on every officer? If disabled at any time, they lose their job.
They need to ban the criminals period!
Cops already don't follow the rules. This is not good enough.
How about banning KILLING CITIZENS?
rossnelson Those reforms were already in place. This does nothing.
Wouldn't have helped because the union protected this bad cop.
shooting rubber bullets at people’s heads is not allowed but that didn’t stop the cops did it
More po po need to be prosecuted!!
Unauthorized .. so, as long as they get permission.. Cops are already required to report, intervene, or even arrest another officer if they see him/her do something wrong. .. 1/
good
Can you all go ahead and ban criminals too?
This is a good start... but these kinds of things NEED TO BE ENFORCED. That's my 2 cents. Rules and regulations go nowhere if the top brass AND boots on the ground are negligent. Do your jobs. Serve and protect EVERYONE. Or, hang up your badge.
Little too late No way on Earth the cop wouldn't have known his knee on his neck wouldn't have resulted in Mr Floyd's death
really? could they not have done this decades ago? why did it take so long? elections coming up?
Choke holds was Alr illegal for feds to use but they still use them
Good luck...
Cool...now can thugs ban doing home invasions where they have a gun pointed at black pregnant women's unborn children?
Report to who?
ah yes we all know cops follow the rules
Only to find some other loop whole!!! This should end all for once !!!
This will surely stop all the murders now
cynthia_ann A Choke Hold wasn’t what killed George Floyd. It was the Knee of the Officer pressing down on his neck. Nothing was won!
now we just need a law that makes it illegal for cops to not follow rules
Is that what you call a knee to the neck of a person till they can't breathe, a chokehold?! Humm I must be confused.
What about Full Nelsons
As a former soldier we had a moral obligation to intervene when the laws of war are being violated. Yet police officers have no such obligation. Only in America are police officers allowed and encouraged to watch other police officers murder American citizens.
great.. now ban killing unarmed black people.
Hey, remember when NYPD banned choke holds in 1993 and when that ban didn’t help Eric Garner many years later?
I think policing everywhere needs to be REDEFINED. I also believe all nations have failed entirely as well and that they need to be redefined as well. We live in a world full of injustice and it isn't right. It is not acceptable at all.
Why didn't they do this after Eric Garner? I dont understand why something has to happen to people directly for them to take action.
*Literally* the least they could have done.
BREAKING: Police did NOT have to intervene when other police officers are murdering innocent people. That is really way stands out here. The BREAKING NEWS is that police should not be able to murder at will.
Morning_Joe Why does it have to take a black man dying to make this happen
What happened to Mr. Floyd wasn't a chokehold. A chokehold is briefly applied with the arms to a person who is standing. Police brutality / murder is performed with one's full weight on one's knee to the neck of a restrained, prone man on the street for 9 minutes.
No need for choke holds, just taser and handcuff. If the assailant tries to run away, taser again. It is a no brainer and it’s a widely used non lethal use of force. Even taking out the taser will stop most criminals with a brain.
You're requiring the police to self report about unauthorized use of force? What are the parameters for that? Was it not required to report this before I'm sure nothing can go wrong with this
Bunch of nonsense. Saying the cops are 'required to report and intervene' means the cops are being told to police their own. Fat fn chance. Only thing that resolves this is breaking their unions. Police unions don't protect workers rights, they're protecting PoliceBrutality.
How about having the police fit for duty. Physical testing each month, not once a year. If a police officer cannot handle a person then maybe look for a different job or position. Being physically fit is half the job isn’t it.
Great. Now end the Qualified Immunity Act too. Hold bad AGs, DAs and cops accountable.
BLM LGBTQmatters Helping to Get Better Rights For African Americans and Our LGBT Community just $20 CanGet us the start we Need 💜💙💚💛❤ All People Matter ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Chokeholds have been outlawed since the 70’s. W police prisons mental hospitals etc in most states.
It's a start.
As a citizen of these United states I'd have put down my phone, accepted id be arrested for assaulting an officer and let a jury choose my fate to attempt to tackle the officer off of him.... Instead of standing there recording and yelling...
City of Minneapolis agrees to implement more rules police totally will follow this time we swear, honest, ,,
Great that officers are required to intervene, but only for 'unauthorized use of force'? If this definition is not going to change, the data would lead us to assume that almost all acts of force by police have been authorized uses.
The Dem politicians ruling Minnesota have done NOTHING to protect Black lives. What exactly are they doing for the Black community, if an incredibly dangerous tactic taught in police training (that was banned decades ago in other cities) went completely unnoticed?
Guess that means right to shooting...
This is great news! Now the police will just have to shoot more criminals to subdue them instead. Good job everyone involved!
Why chokehold anyone In first place? If they are so dangerous to be chokehold, don’t US cop just shit them?
How was it possible to have them legal?
It is pathetic that municipalities have to bargain with cops over the definition of their duties. Throw out the police unions.
wow don’t trip over that EXTREMELY low bar
How big and strong was this man vs the size of this man. Why wasn’t it disclosed he was high on drugs at the time. How did it effect him. Why is there such celebration over a man that has a history with drugs and point a gun to a pregnant woman stomach
This is performative. We demand real change! DefundThePolice
didn't save Eric Garner.
Not enough.
This is a good start...but this needs to be nation wide!
Cops are pissed- They’re no longer allowed to strangle people
Big win for people who like to resist arrest!
Yeah, that'll do it!
Isn’t the choke hold already banned and reporting abuse mandatory? The problem isn’t the current law, it’s turning a blind eye to the infractions over & over until eveyone knows that the only crimes by police that could even remotely have consequences are the ones on video.
When will they ban the use of cops?
Why aren't police mandatory reporters like teachers. If teachers fail to report abuse they lose their jobs and their certification. Police should be held to the same standards
You guys, I know that this 'hasn't stopped them in the past' but I for one am grateful that they've done this. As a whole, we can be our police and hold them accountable to this change. I think it's a step in the right direction. Gotta appreciate or they won't cater anymore
dominickevans Yeah, that'll happen. Just like we thought body cams would solve these issues.
So uh, how the fuck do they enforce this? We've seen police turn off bodycams before, some say that it was illegal in Eric Garner's case too. Defund the police and/or make whistle blowing against the police a protected thing.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. ——Reagan
Can we fire every cop with excessive force complaints on their record, at a minimum?
I can’t believe they didn’t have to intervene and report. That’s like saying teachers can walk away and ignore and other teacher abusing a child wth?
We need to come together with a unified voice to demand real and tangible change for the police. We need: 1) Oversight 2) Equality 3) De-Escalation 4) Reporting 5) Transparency Sign the petition:
It’s unbelievable that they weren’t already required to report!
rkfatheree So they say...
What cops? Thought they were disbanding? Oh well cops are resigning for the disgusting treatment they are getting anyways. Good for them. They put their lives on the line every day, but your going treat them all like shit because of one asshole bad cop.
Police are well known for ratting on their own
US protests: Minneapolis agrees to ban the use of...the police fixed
Precedent. This is so important.
So they’re not going to be defunded? Damn.
Since this is obvious and should have already been banned maybe they should just go ahead and ban shooting unarmed people, kicking people who are down, driving police cruisers into a crowd, shooting babies, eating babies, strangling grandmas, trampling toddlers, shooting at schoo
Horrible. How are they supposed to detain people!!!? Bending to weak I guess.
simaleerbg Yeah because the 'report if you see an officer doing something illegal' has always worked. Corrupt cops protect corrupt cops. Is that hard to understand?
How about they intervene when they bulldoze a human being to the ground and cause a head bleed?
Wait, so they were allowed previously? That's getting interesting...
Is there abuse, sure but America is conjuring up dark forces. When gangs rule the streets, which they will if we hamstring the police, you'll be confined to your home, a slave of your own doing, weeping
Just use the rubber bullets, won't need the chokehold.
That's going to require retraining. A lot of retraining. Some things are very hard to unlearn. Maybe we should just stop using police for everything. Get some new people not indoctrinated into the violent combative mindset.
ManeeshJuneja Theres a W
ok, what about racial profiling, excessive force, the list goes on. bandaid on a broken leg guys.
Nah, this ain’t good enough, try again.
Juries will have to prove the officers were “seeing” it because a cop can turn around and technicality himself out of that law.
lmao yeah I really expect cops to snitch on each other, that's a great fucking plan
And the liberal union will make sure the thugs on the force stay on the force.
What is the punishment for it going unreported?
What are we going to do about police chiefs around the country? Should they be fired? It had to come to thousands of killings later at the hands of 'bad' cops that chiefs are now looking at chokeholds & crushing neckholds. What is wrong with this picture? Hold them accountable
It’s the MENTALITY you need to change! Why does 5 cop cars to pull up to a single person being arrested? Why do they all jump in on the person on the ground? When cuffed, face down - one person can control you. FACT! Why are guns drawn at standard stops etc?
Jesus is the answer to all the questions. Repent to the Lord and return to Him, please. Messiah is coming at hand. FridayRevivalService
Wasn’t kneeling on a persons neck already illegal? My point is, the police think they are above the law. Making something illegal isn’t likely to stop them. Also, cops reporting other cops? Lmfao, get real they are all rotten.
This kinda sh*t always happens after the fact, disgusting
we should also make laws where you can't beat women, steal, sell illegal drugs, murder, rape, etc. That way it will never happen.
Only a small beginning. The BIG one is teaching them UNBIASED public safety.
I called it! Reminder to all who opposed the purpose of these BlackLivesMatter protests, who repeated all the racist talking points against fighting for an end to racial injustice, when you’re in Minnesota feel free to tell cops they can use force on you:
What about the kneeling on neck hold?
You mean this wasn’t required BEFORE⁉️⁉️⁉️
How long before they come up with an alternative killer restraint? I've practiced martial arts for over 25 years; I know a few dozen NON-LETHAL submission holds.
Ummm great thank you, chokeholds....what about puting your knee on a persons neck!!!
How about kneeling on necks? That a loophole?
Hrmm so lets take away the easiest way to restrain an out of control suspect that is larger than you
Oh cool, making more rules that they won't follow.
George Floyd didn't die in a chokehold, he died because Schauvin didn't restrain him the way he was supposedly trained. Police and all human beings have always had a responsibility to intervene when they see unauthorized use of force. This doesn't solve the root problem.
So...nothing. Change nothing.
TOTAL. GAME. CHANGER.
So when are the murder police going to face justice? When are the murders going to stop?
this is amazing news im thrilled
So they aren’t banning the police. Sorry terrorists.
This is the blacks hero...the guy who held a pregnant woman at gunpoint? Had meth and fentanyl in his system. Got violent just a week prior with police? This is the guy the black community wants me to respect them for? 🙄
Isn’t this already the policy?
'Police would also be required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer.'. That is huge. Accountability. After the Buffalo P.D. incident, accountability is a giant step forward. Thank you for you. God Bless, John German
chokeholds were illegal in nyc when garner died
JoFuller24 You mean if a cop sees another cop doing the wrong thing then 57 of them can resign ?
Not enough, do more
there were already rules AGAINST what happened and guess what, the cops don't follow the rules! This has to end. If the system won't cooperate we'll do it ourselves
Guess pressing on someone’s airpipe is A ok the
so it took the murder of an innocent man and mass rioting across 50 states to change what seems to be like something anyone with any rationality could've fixed in a day?
Well, duh!
And? What else? Keep going cause there should be lists upon lists we should be hearing about.
This guy was a criminal! Why are you all making him a hero? I wasn't equality for all but not for a criminal. I would rather make David Don the hero!
This isn’t enough sweetie. Keep trying.
George Floyd wasn't in a chokehold. So, yeah, this is great, but what about banning kneeling on people's necks? WTAF?! GeorgeFloydProtests PleaseGodKneelOnTrumpsNeck
😂😂😂😂 They think everyone is as stupid as they are.
Police would also be required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer. Whoa, not that simple. I hope the police unions are on this and fast.
Rest of.. the nation need to follow suit
That’s great that they banned chokehold but what about knees in the back and knees in the neck they need to be in that too
2/no more cussing out the nurse or throwing things and what have you.Used to be these behaviors were tolerated and 'handled'within the old boy club. We see if we don't police ourselves,others will,so the culture has changed. The police, tho, are going to be a tougher nut to crack
Police aren't now required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer? Not the solution.
Not even close to enough or the right direction at all. This is PROFOUNDLY disappointing and angering.
YES✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽
Thank god! But still they got their guns..they are always too quick to pull them out..they assume automatically you are dangerous, you can have candy in your hand,a cell phone and they will mistake it for a gun or say they were 'scared'..
It's a shame it took all this to get such a basic thing. The bottom line is that if a person is already cuffed, what additional need is there to restrain?
Stop it
Negotiators for the city agree with the state to do THE BARE FUCKING MINIMUM! ftfy
oh ok, so they agreed to not choke someone to death, how about they stop shooting unarmed civilians to death too or is that asking too much?
How about banning the use of lethal firearms by the police? If cops are going to use their guns to indiscriminately kill unarmed people and harmless dogs, then they shouldn't be allowed to have guns. Fear-based training, which employs Israeli tactics, must be done away with.
yeah f*** that. How about a ban on death.
Yeah, make sure 5 time felons who are high on meth and fentanyl and have a violent history of putting pistols to pregnant women's stomachs are protected. George Floyd was a piece of shit.
Yeah so this is already illegal in several states but continues anyways. I don’t see how it will be enforced. Will a cop be immediately terminated if they engage in an illegal chokehold? Will they be prosecuted?
This is amazing news but the protests can't stop until that's nation wide
Believe it when I (dont) see it!
Great! Now, we need the other 49 states to follow suit. 49ToGo
This is a start
Use all means necessary to control or subdue a criminal acting in a VIOLENT manner.
Ummm...how weren’t these already rules? Now do kneeling on someone’s back.
Yeah, I'm sure that'll crack the blue wall of silence.
Chokeholds aren't the problem, it's systemic racism...but I'll take a baby step.
It's disgustingly pitiful that supposed intelligent, adult, law enforcement personnel need to be told and have a 'policy' in place to treat another human being with humanity. JesusTakeTheWheel
SOROS circo Público growing demanda desmantle Police
how about...don't shoot/kill/harm people who are cuffed and under arrest while posing no physical threat?
Let’s change the way the union can influence wiping out records of complaints.
SLKath They need to stipulate this doesn’t mean an increase in shooting. They will say they can’t use chokeholds to restrain, thus needed a weapon.
can they please include knees in that ban
The police should be allowed to exercise their abilities as they were trained to subdue the criminal. Obviously kneeling on one's neck is inexcusable! Don't constrain the police from doing their job. They s/b allowed to do whatever is necessary to do their job!
How about ban the police department? We need to protect these police hahahaha
oh, well then, that should do it...I'm sure the police policing themselves will never veer from protecting the ThinBlueLine ...how about 24/7 liveweb bodycams with no power button?
Some of this shit is truly insulting
This is not just a Minneapolis thing, this have to be nationwide, c'mon man, ain't no more half stepping, let's do it right the first time, the powers to be should protect the public, so we don't have to pound the streets no more, let's make that change for real this time.
I'm surprised they didn't do that decades ago. I remember some did.
'Police would also be required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer.' Report aside, why are police currently not required to intervene when they see unauthorized uses of force by other officers? How does that even make sense?
All police should be trained in bjj so they have better non lethal takedown maneuvers in their arsenal
NTVsSaraKirkley Had George Floyd not passed a counterfeit $20.00 he would not be 6 feet under.
NOT ENOUGH
Watch..Loads of MPD will head to southdakota
A chokehold knows no jurisdiction to be lethal. Such a ban - ideally - should be implemented nationwide.
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?! TWO WEEKS PAID LEAVE AIN'T GON CUT IT. WE WANT PROSECUTION!!!!!
Breaking news: murder is wrong! Police to be notified tbd. Smdh GeorgeFloyd
Police failure to intervene should be fully liable and punishable
That’s a start make everyone responsible as it SHOULD OF BEEN!
Do batons now.
Why the fuck were chokeholds not already banned? They’re some of the most lethal maneuvers used by police.
Make him saint.
Shouldn't this have come before the nation's cities were torched and looted while other people were murdered?
We need more, what about doing this across the country? And what about that legislation? We need legislation against police brutality nationwide. Ideally they should be defunded.
im getting real tired of this shit, how about stopresisting and do as the cop tells you? don't put yourself in the situation where you would need to be choked out its not fucking hard at all
To help our communities that are in the FL areas please feel free to share
But the whole damn force is corruption
erintlriddle Yeah right
Should work on these ridiculous blanket approvals of illegal no-knock raids next and b perversion of exclusionary rule to get ahead of the curve. SCOTUS Scalia used misinterpretation of citings from Professor Sam Walker. Spread the word if you care to.
okay that’s a start. WHAT ELSE
Now is banning a choke hold more important than making sure you don't KILL A GUY? Like the MENTALITY of it? Your first instinct should not be to cripple or kill someone who passed a fake 20... FFS that's a PSYCHO. His knee wasn't to blame, HE IS. HE CHOSE to do that.
Welcome to the 16th century, Minneapolis--now let's keep moving forward in time.
Better question- why was it allowed in the first place?
Floyd fought the officers that caused his death. Floyd was a full time criminal. He was arrested again for passing counterfeit money. He hadn’t changed the way he was. Don’t defund police. Any state that defunds cops then don’t go these states to spend any money. Don’t move there
Now BAN LAW ENFORCEMENT CHOKEHOLDS NATIONALLY!!
Alright, it's a start, let's keep it going.
Ask Eric Garner how well those bans work
Were there body cams or cams in police car showing what happened? Why did the police remove Lloyd from the police car & push him to the ground? That doesn’t make sense.
as if the would, given the 57 complicit assholes
Not good enough
Why were they allowed in the first place? It's literally in the name. 'Choke' hold. Why would you need to choke somebody to arrest them?
See? Wasn’t so bad. Just took spilling blood of innocents, and weeks of national chaos and unrest and brutal police suppression. Gosh bless Merika
NBCNews ABC CBSNews CNN dallasnews nytimes BostonGlobe chicagotribune washingtonpost News in the United States of America.
Funny how no one is taking about steps to protect officers from getting executed hmmm

Morning_Joe SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN.
Wait...so it wasn't required before to report unreasonable use of force by another colleague?...They need to take it further - if you don't report it...you're no longer a cop.
Thanks USA for band
FOX19 How was a choke hold ever allowed to begin with, seriously?
So this is what burning cities and robbing businesses get you? Will they be satisfied? My guess? No
Why wasn’t this the case ages ago! How is the USA so behind on this type of stuff?
We’re not clapping for something that should have been standard. Keep protesting
It's a bit late for that now! George Floyd would still be alive today if they'd brought that ban in 12 days ago! But no, you had too see a man suffer & beg for his life for 8 minutes 46 seconds until he was ultimately Killed by one off your cops! RIPGEORGEFLYOD
60Sparkle Soooo, an AUTHORISED use of force is okay... ...even if the recipient ends up dead?
Oh dear. You are outlawing a step in the force continuum which is valid. When trained properly, it's effective. If they can't use this, they will escalate. This is not good.
This should have been in place 100 years ago.
Definitely a good change!!
Cops usually stick together. So good luck getting them to report on eachother.
Making progress. Hope it becomes nationwide. Sometimes real change requires sacrifice of individuals so that generations ahead live a better life
A start I guess
Yes!
Oh yeah they’re trustworthy lmao holy hell
This will never fucking work. Cops will die. But, then, maybe that's what the left wants...
'ban the use of chokeholds' But this only serves to harm law abiding police officers! Criminal police officers will obtain their chokeholds from the black market as they always had. Banning choke holds means law abiding police can't protect themselves against criminal police!
Our media is so cute. Forget banning the choke, why and how was it ever allowed to begjn with? And make no mistake, if GeorgeFloyd hadn’t been caught on film being murdered, nobody would have changed the rules. Nice try, MinneapolisPD imlddre
DemsFight4U And ban clubs
George Floyd die with Officer knee behind his neck not ChokeHold 2nd - You ban it City of Minneapolis but not in the State? - So Minnesota State Police officer could ChokeHold - Window Dressing Bullsht BlackLivesMatter donlemon amjoyshow CNN MSNBC BLM GeorgeFloyd
Wait, they weren’t required to report unauthorized use of force?
Oddly George Floyd didn't die from a chokehold So I guess a knee on the neck is still good? These implementations of limits on police are ridiculous. More vetting of officers & training is needed It's not a chokehold, but what they hold in their heart that make them abusive
Banning abusive killer police would be better
But does 'chokehold' include crushing someone's windpipe with your knee?
Morning_Joe That should have been done a long time ago glad they are finally doing it
cdotharrison They are 'required' to do a lot of things but somehow they circumvent those responsibilities constantly. This means absolutely nothing until the entire system is torn down and rebuilt
JoshMankiewicz Step 1. Next?
Now make this stake and federal policy. If people stop now it will not make much of change. Minneapolis isn’t enough. It’s just step 1
All Police departments should be doing this.
It’s the beginning of the end.
The fact that it was deemed acceptable in the first place is just inhumane. This is only one state, push it further nationwide.
PoliceBrutalityAwareness
we will soon see a civil war in minneapolis or anarchy, left liberal solutions
Hi, I’d really appreciate it if you would share or donate to this GoFundMe.
De locos! La policía deberá enfrentar a la policía!!
Its a start
I think it was more that he had a knee on his neck for 8 minutes than this but ok
Ummm, how do they expect to implement this when the rank and file have a strong code against snitching on bad cops?
cool cool cool. now ban the police.
They needed to be *told* they should intervene when watching another officer needlessly killing someone?
ElaineYoung94 So up until now they WEREN’T required to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorised use of force by another officer?
Morning_Joe What will the penalty be if use by an officer because it was already banned when they use it on Erick Gardner
Progress.....
Is the knee considered a chocked hold? Just asking for a friend
Uh...
and we have emoluments laws and insider trading laws... what's your point?
Morning_Joe I can already hear fascist cops right now saying: 'Guess I'll have to use pepper spray and the taser more often.' Fine. Whatever allows black suspects to be taken into custody WITHOUT KILLING THEM is a move in the right direction.
THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF PLAYING BY THE RULES. DEFUND, DEFUND, DEFUND.
Is it still a crime to resist arrest?
That never should’ve been used in the first place. I can’t believe the knee on throat hold was actually allowed in Minn. isn’t it a progressive city?
Maybe now, PD whistleblowers will come forward without fear that they will be reprimanded or forced to leave the PD, entirely. BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloyd BriannaTaylor
A nazi would definitely tell another nazi to stop being a nazi that makes sense good policy will definitely work
NYGovCuomo NYCMayor please do the same for our great state/city! Ban chokeholds! And use of tear gas!
What is the penalty for failing to report/intervene?
Disband the MPD
Actually, let's just get rid of all crime and legalize all drugs. It'll be fine. You can thank BLM for reform. Freedom🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 what's the worst that can happen? 😏
This should have came from police internal affairs department. Along with the DOJ and FBI laying the smack down!! GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydMemorial GeorgeFloydprotest
Nogozones coming
Morning_Joe Hope is what we need and JusticeForGeorgeFloyd JusticeforBreonnaTaylor
It’s amazing how these blue states leaders allowed and supported such destruction. Law abiding citizens were locked in their homes while criminals were allowed to run fee to destroy livelihoods and lives. Kinda funny.
This falls well short of what we need because we’re once again relying on police to regulate themselves which they will not do
This is a step in the right direction. Not only is excessive violence criminal, but those who watch and do nothing are also negligible.
Morning_Joe
What about wrestling? It’s used there also and has been for years.
Morning_Joe Why weren't they already required?
make sure to get the pinky-swear on camera idiots
Morning_Joe What took so damn long?
Morning_Joe I can't believe that in 2020 that had to be banned. Woulda thought stuff like that ended in the 1500s, give or take.
garychun Arent they already required to report abuses of power by fellow officers?
LWorthySports Ya think?
Aren't bodycams required to be worn by cops in certain cities? How's that working out? This is utter nonsense and unenforceable. Cops need severe consequences to stop their bullshit.
Oh that’ll stop the blue wall of silence... Fuckin clowns
No reason there can’t be an elected citizen oversight board that oversees law enforcement in each community- work in conjunction with police... let the people they are sworn to protect and serve be involved.
What about “knee”-holds?
Good thing Rand Paul can’t vote on this
No use of force should be 'unauthorised' it should simply be down to the officers t to justify it.

You mean they aren't required to now? Sounds like bullshit lol
They are already required to report and intervene. THEY NEVER DO IT!!
I guess they will stop everything, why risk when you can arrive late at the scene
xeni Why the absolute living frig should this need to be “negotiated”?
They ALREADY were required to intervene anytime they saw abuse... They're literally just 'agreeing' to something that was already mandated...
Talk about when you cropped out this girl n a pic
Sounds fair
cleveland19news Not nearly enough
Police are already required to intervene in Minneapolis -- that's how the other three scumbags got fired too before any charges were pressed.
Great !! A promising beginning to pave the path of justice and order... to set a role model for equality...security and unity 👌🏻 the question though is ... Will limiting such to one state be enough?! I doubt it🌿
Decent behaviour should not require ‘negotiations’.
Banning and retraining are 2 separate things.
DMVBlackLives Independent community investigators for any incident with a use of force complaint, and severe punishment for any police officer caught NOT reporting unauthorized use of force by another officer, and abolishing the police union.
maggieNYT It’s 2020 and it’s not required by law/policy that police must report & intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer.
Don't think this is a good choice in a violent altercation choke hold done properly help to stop escalation. This could lead to more shootings, or severe physical beatings in violent altercations.
Is there grounds for Hall's account to bring at least one count of First Degree Murder? He said GeorgeFloyd was already in the squad car, before being taken back out and murdered, in the most heinous and abhorrent way. I think that goes a long way towards proving premeditation.
Required to report “unauthorized” use of force. So basically they won’t report any use of force and if they get called on it they’ll claim they thought it was authorized. So basically the status quo.
Meanwhile cops in Hong Kong... HKPoliceBrutality StandwithHongKong
Wow what progress! Banning chokeholds by thug police against the citizens in 2020! Woo! Maybe now we can outlaw lynching! Maybe.
BarrySimmsWBAL Funny how no one is focusing on the the problems that causes this. Police Unions that protect bad officers, Prosecutors offices which don't prosecute cops, and the Police Brass which choose to protect and cover up misdeeds of officers rather than report and deal with it.
This is how things get solved, not stealing Gucci bags.
Keep going, you’re still not done yet.
Cops famously obey laws and are quick to rat on each other for breaking them
No reason to choke an assume innocent man NONE
Chokeholds were banned in NYC and Eric Garner was still murdered. It took FIVE years for Pantaleo to be simply fired.
Oh well I guess if it's banned the cops won't do it
I hope someone is protecting the witness.
After 200+ years of racism & overuse of police force on people of color, we're finally at the point where it's becoming required that an officer must report seeing other officers use violence! Low but necessary bar! Halleluijah.
And this is the change the moron looters wanted. congrats libs.
Now do something about their unions. Public servants that work for law enforcement do not deserve the corrupt protection at the cost of black lives.
Done with them.
This is a disgraceful joke, and that should be your headline.
I thought they were being disbanded?
The biggest victims and losers of Democrat Mayor’s “Police-Stand-Down-Orders”, which resulted in violent rioting, looting, arson and murders, are the minority communities & small business owners Democrat politicians pretend to care about. Now Dems want to eliminate the Police.
Now do tear gas
Ask yourselves why there needs a law to tell police to step in when their fellow officer is killing someone
But the Police-Union negotiated contracts will limit the type of discipline a officer could face... Once again Unions protecting the unworthy....
i'm sure they will all comply when the cameras are off too...........
How was this NOT already in place?
Good start when it comes to reasonable legitimate reforms
Intervening when a cop is using excessive force is already a law in Minnesota. Fuck lot of good that did
I’m more interested in reporting and enforcement mechanisms because this sounds an awful lot like something cops can (and will) just ignore.
Weaken the police unions. The biggest reason problem cops are allowed to patrol the streets after abusing power
They’re getting disbanded anyway so why does it matter?
Holy shit, progressive stuff. Officers were advised before not to report other officers acting boorishly? This will change everything. Leftists have their own version of reality.
That has been the biggest problem that I have seen. The cops try to cover for each other and never call each other out for inexcusable behavior.
GaryWebb1972 let's see if the police obey that order. Or, will they treat it like the body cams they shut off?
Banning chokeholds is pointless ask Eric Garner , wait you can't he was killed by a banned chokehold

4 former Minneapolis police officers now charged in the death of George FloydFormer Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin will now be charged with murder in the second degree for the death of George Floyd. The other 3 officers involved will be charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder. CNN's Josh Campbell is in Minneapolis They should ask those cops : how would you like to die firing squad, hanging or a new invention, the guillotine Powerful moment that we stood UP demanding together to create change and didn’t care what your nationality is, your GPA, neighborhood, or political view. We are better then that today. We bleed the same color blood Why not first degree and aiding and abetting? It should be accessory. Very fishy
