Police in Minneapolis will be forbidden to use chokeholds and neck restraints under reforms negotiated by city and state authorities.
In an emergency vote on Friday, the Minneapolis city council approved an agreement with the state Department of Human Rights, which earlier this week opened an investigation into the killing of George Floyd by city police.

I am pretty sure chokeholds were already against policy, as are any holds that normally endanger someone's life. Then again, saying that doesn't allow the council to signal their virtue.
