2014--46% of p.ds who serve more than 1 million people allow some sort of neck restraint.

Trump claimed chokeholds are rarely used, but that is false.

 Between July 2013 and June 2014, the NYC CCRB received 219 chokehold complaints, according to the report.  Chicago:
neck restraints are not mentioned in the list of authorized force options.  Such restraints are not, however, specifically prohibited.
A 2007 Justice Department survey found that 46% of police departments who serve more than 1 million people allow some sort of hold or neck restraint. A closer look at the use-of-force policies of the nation's six largest police departments reveals variations in how they treat neck restraints.
The Los Angeles Police Department forbids chokeholds, but allows its officers to use a stranglehold in circumstances that call for deadly force.
The Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., also bans chokeholds and allows an officer to use a stranglehold only in extreme circumstances.
The New York Police Department bans any chokehold that affects the throat, trachea or windpipe, or that "may prevent or hinder breathing."  It does not specifically ban strangleholds.
The Chicago Police Department requires its officers to avoid holds that impede subjects' breathing, and a spokesperson said that neck restraints are not "approved of or taught" by the department. However, no directive expressly forbids all neck holds.
The Philadelphia Police department does not allow any neck holds or restraints.
The Houston Police Department does not make its policy available to the public.  https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/12/why-many-large-police-departments-tolerate-their-officers-using-neck-holds/458079/…….......
