New York police officer suspended after apparent chokehold incident seen on video

A New York police officer was suspended on Sunday (June 21) after a video posted online appeared to show him putting a black man in a chokehold during an arrest. The New York Police Department banned the use of chokeholds in 1993. The death of George Floyd after a police officer knelt on his neck while detaining him in Minneapolis on May 25 has put police tactics and methods in the spotlight again. "After a swift investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau, a police officer involved in a disturbing apparent chokehold incident in Queens has been suspended without pay", New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a tweet on Sunday. "While a full investigation is still underway, there is no question in my mind that this immediate action is necessary", Shea said. The video posted online showed many officers restraining the man on his stomach. One officer appeared to have his arm wrapped around the man's neck, the video showed. The man was hospitalized late on Sunday, NBC News reported. (Production: Marissa Davison, Eleanor Whalley)
