The commission adopted a new Use of Force SOP Thursday evening that reflects many of the aspects of the Eight Can’t Wait police practice reform campaign. The SOP bans chokeholds, institutes an “I Can’t Breathe” practice, restricts use of gas and outlines de-escalation practices.

Michael Brunson, who is to retire on December 23rd, drew praise for his collaborative work in bringing the policy changes to the finish line. “We accomplished with you in a few months what we couldn’t accomplish in a few years,” said commission chair
