Objectives
The use of force by police in the execution of theirduty is unavoidable, contrary to the expectations of the general public. Everylaw enforcement officer would likely use some type of restraint more than onceduring his or her career. Some people will suddenly die while being restrained,or shortly after. Could such deaths be avoided? Did the person die solelybecause of restraint? If not, did restraint contribute to death? Such questionscould not be answered by yes or no. What could be done is to minimize the riskof death and injury of a person in custody by learning why some restraintmethods are more dangerous than others. The training manual of the Minneapolis PoliceDepartment classified neck restraint as a non-deadly force option and chock holdas a deadly force option. The author(s) of the manual provided falseinformation. Both methods are potentially deadly, as they involve compressionof the carotid arteries. The Minneapolis police banned chock holds and carotidsleeper holds in summer 2020. By then, hundreds of officers had been trained touse the neck restraint without knowing the consequences. During my career as a forensic pathologist, I’veencountered police officers who would say: “Doc, I know not to apply pressureto the neck, but I don’t know why it is dangerous. People would pass out andrecover quickly. What is the big deal?” Or, “Can you explain positionalasphyxia?” I will cover both topics and more in my presentation.
