H says that according to the NYPD standards, what he did was not actually a chokehold and therefore not against their policies. So I imagine that's why they're doing it.
Really? Interesting. If that's not a chokehold what was it? And what *is* considered a chokehold?
Apparently it was a "restraining move" A chokehold has a specific form. He showed it to me but I honestly don't really get the difference.

"Members of the New York City Police Department will not use choke holds," Section 203-11 of the NYPD Patrol Guide says. "A choke hold shall include, but is not limited to, any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air."
NYC Cop Who Killed Eric Garner With Chokehold Once Slapped Black Men’s Genitals
The New York Police Department officer who killed Eric Garner with chokehold had once pulled down two black men’s pants in an illegal search and slapped their penises and testicles, the media has learned, forcing the department to pay out thousands of dollars. Darren Collins and Tommy Rice filed a complaint against Officer Daniel Pantaleo with the Civilian Complaint Review Board, one month after the March 22, 2012 incident.
In their filing, Collins, 46, and Rice, 43, said Pantaleo also “slapped” and “tapped” their testicles in broad daylight. The cops lied when they claimed to have witnessed a hand-to-hand drug transaction involving the men in the car, reports the New York Daily News. After they exited their vehicle, Pantaleo conducted an illegal search on the two men based on a lie, depriving them of their rights. “PO Pantaleo then removed Mr. Rice’s belt, causing Mr. Rice’s pants to sag down to the middle of his thigh. Mr. Rice was wearing boxer shorts under his pants and they became visible when his pants started to sag. PO Pantaleo pulled Mr. Rice’s pants down to his knees and then pulled his boxer shorts down.” Pantaleo then slapped Rice’s private parts, the documents allege. “Pantaleo stated that he was attempting to shake out any contraband Mr. Rice might be hiding,” the documents say.
