New York City Police and Chokeholds

In 1993 the Police Department banned chokeholds. Yet from 2006-2010, there were over 200 chokehold complaints per year. More recently, the Civilian Complaint Review Board released a report stating that between July 2013 and June 2014 it received 219 chokehold complaints, a number previously unseen since 2010.

Is there a problem?
