This resolution would discourage police use of choke-holds by eliminating the training and testing modules for choke holds from the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) curriculum. Video of the fatal choke-hold: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2014/dec/04/i-cant-breathe-eric-garner-chokehold-death-video. See 1:20 min to 1:40 min.
