COLUMBIA â Columbia City Council will vote on banning chokeholds and neck restraints Tuesday night.Â
Race Matters, Friends Executive Director Chad McLaurin agrees with the chokehold part of the ordinance but wants the council to reconsider banning neck restraints. I think the board can definitely weigh in on the chokehold and ban them, but this particular restraint [carotid], I would like to see them actually cast a broader gaze at what the use of force continuum is for the police department, McLaurin said. Frankly, I think it needs to be further developed, because it s kind of very rudimentary. Â
The terms chokehold and neck restraint are not the same. Chokeholds are applied to the windpipe and block an individual s airway. Neck carotid restraints restrict the flow of blood to the brain, eventually making a person unconscious.
