[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3370931, member: 23"] When I joined the FD in 1978 part of our academy was an EMT course. Back then the choke hold was commonly used and we were told that statistics had proven that there was a higher mortality rate in Afro-Americans than other races and that the PDs were slowly stepping away from the use of that technique. I went through CLEET in 1994 and the subject was mentioned. The instructor said that it would not be taught in any of his classes because improper use could be fatal. There are numerous YouTube videos showing officers still using the technique. I can’t speak for their training, but it’s still out there. I’ve also noticed that it seems to be a favorite in MMA.
