NYPD officers to get LAPD training
The incident that has caused all the commotion.
After the tragic and accidental death of a New York man after the application of a neck restraint, New York City Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said the death of a 43-year-old Staten Island man who may have been placed in a chokehold by a police officer last week would probably spark a federal review and could lead to a probe into possible civil rights violations. Speaking at a Tuesday afternoon briefing, Bratton said the death of Eric Garner highlighted a need for improved training, and said he would send a contingent of officers to Los Angeles to develop new training regimens. “The department really does need to do a lot more, a lot more in the area of training,” he said. He said this was especially necessary in terms of use-of-force techniques. Bratton also said he expected there would be “a retraining of every member of the New York Police Department” in the wake of the incident.
