Washington: The US Justice Department on Tuesday said that it was limiting the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies from using Chokehold to detain suspects or carry out a warrant without a knock in people before entering.
“Building trust and trust between law enforcement and the public we serve is the center of our mission in the Ministry of Justice,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“The limitations applied today about the use of ‘chokeholds,’ ‘carotid restraint’ and ‘not knocking’ warrants, combined with our recent expansion of the body charged for federal DOJ agents, is one of the important steps needed by the department Improving the safety and accountability of law enforcement.
“Police tactics involving the use of Chokephold or” carotid restracing “and guarantee that without a good knock has become a point of flash throughout the country in the middle of calling for reforms to overcome systematic racism towards the black community of black communities.
In June, the former Police officer Minneapolis Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22-1 / 2 years, because he killed George Floyd by kneeling around his neck.
A terrible murder was caught in the video, because Floyd repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe.” Meanwhile in Louisville, Kentucky, the police shot and killed Breonna Taylor after running the warranty without tap.
Under the new policy of the Department, Chopholds will be prohibited by federal law enforcement unless the deadly power is authorized.
The use of warrants without a knock will also be reduced again, and in cases where they are needed, the federal agent will be asked to request approval from senior department officials before using tactics.
