\n The New York Police Department reversed its years-long opposition to legislation banning the use of chokeholds Tuesday, as it faces intense political pressure in the wake of protests in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s killing by Minneapolis police \u2014 and its tactics policing those marches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department can support this legislation with minor amendments,\u201d Deputy Police Commissioner Ben Tucker will tell lawmakers during a Council hearing set for Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The bill \u2014 authored by Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Queens) \u2014 would create a local criminal penalty for using chokeholds, taking the cases out of the NYPD\u2019s famously opaque internal discipline system and allowing prosecutors to bring them into open court.<\/p>\n

However, Tucker will tell the Council\u2019s Public Safety Committee that the NYPD continues to insist that a carve-out be added to the bill requiring that prosecutors prove the use of the chokehold was intentional, an issue that sat at the heart of the Eric Garner case.<\/p>\n

Garner, a\u00a0 Staten Island man, died in 2014 after Officer Daniel Pantaleo was videotaped placing him in a chokehold during an attempted arrest for selling untaxed cigarettes, igniting months of protests across the city and fueling the national Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n

Pantaleo\u2019s attorneys argued during his internal disciplinary hearing in 2019 \u2014 which only got underway after years of delays \u2014 that he should not be fired because he never intended to use the banned maneuver.<\/p>\n

Under Lancman\u2019s bill, any officer convicted of using a chokehold could face a year in prison and a fine of up to $2,500.<\/p>\n

Tucker\u2019s testimony also acknowledges the strain that Floyd\u2019s death has put on relations between the NYPD and many communities across the city \u2014 as protests over his brutal in-custody death in Minneapolis stretch into their second week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we saw in Minneapolis was a betrayal of that oath and a gross dereliction of duty,\u201d Tucker will say, according to his prepared remarks. \u201cIt severely damaged every effort made by our officers to connect with our communities and build trust with our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NYPD\u2019s highest-ranking African American will add: \u201cSimply put, it was an atrocity, fatal to Mr. Floyd and deeply damaging to police\/community relations here in New York and everywhere in our nation.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
