Members unanimously passed a measure to ban officers from shooting at moving tires unless there are exceptional circumstances. The Police Officers association objected to the original proposal and demanded that the original language be inserted. They said officers need latitude when the public is in danger and the shooting will be reviewed on a casebycase basis. No policy can be predicted. Officers must exercise sound judgment and critical Decision Making when using force options. Back in a 43 vote, the commission banned the maneuver known as carotid restraint, a hold around the neck of a suspect to control them. Supporters said the maneuver is not the same as a chokehold and they said it as an effective technique for female and smaller male officers and one done properly, not lethal. Is there a situation where the hold resulted in an injury or a fatality . That has been posed and to my knowledge, it has not.
