Chokehold

A chokehold is a technique used to temporarily restrict someone’s airflow or blood flow, usually by applying pressure around the neck. Its purpose can be to subdue a person’s movements or gain control but it can be dangerous and potentially cause serious injury or death if applied improperly or for too long. Chokeholds are controversial, especially when used by law enforcement, because of the risk involved. Some places have banned or regulated their use due to these safety concerns. Proper training and understanding of restraint techniques are essential to minimize harm.
