Missouri governor OKs police chokehold, accountability bills

KOAM Under the new Missouri law, police can only use chokeholds in self-defense. July 14, 2021 4:23 PM Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. – Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Wednesday signed bills that would increase police accountability, limit the use of officer chokeholds and, critics say, shield police while ramping up penalties for protesters. One measure puts limits on investigations of officers and provides protection against civil claims unless the officer is criminally convicted, among a wide range of other policy changes. The other limits police use of chokeholds, the technique used by former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin to kill George Floyd last year.

New Missouri Law Will Ban Police Chokeholds, Let Prosecutors Challenge Wrongful Convictions

KCUR A Kansas City police officer listens to a police commission hearing in 2020 at KCPD headquarters. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has signed into law a wide-ranging bill that, among other things, limits when and how police can use chokeholds, cancels a requirement that Kansas City police live within city limits, and gives prosecutors the ability to challenge wrongful convictions in the court that handed them down. The bill, SB 53, received broad bipartisan support in both chambers of the General Assembly, and has been awaiting the governor’s signature since May. “It combined both just pure, I guess, pro-police provisions in it, but also had some police reforms that I think were common sense and were actually supported by all the law enforcement community,” said Republican state Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, who sponsored the bill. “That was very heartening to see that level of bipartisanship.”
