"The manual of the Minneapolis Police Department states that neck restraints and chokeholds are basically reserved for when an officer feels caught in a life-or-death situation. There was no apparent threat of that nature in Mr. Floyd’s detention."


From a nyt article. On my phone, I'll try to link later. From that and other articles,standing on someone's neck is in policy, but leaves that giant gray area of "when they feel threatened."
