Ubiq -“It was in violation of Minneapolis Police code
5-311
“The Conscious Neck Restraint may be used against a subject who is actively resisting.””
I don’t know the exact definition in Minn. of Resisting; but in NJ that’s called resisting.
From NJ.com:
“Resisting” can be as simple as going limp, holding onto a pole or just saying “no” to being handcuffed — or as violent as flailing, punching or kicking an officer in an attempt to escape.”
