New Jersey AG overhauls police use of force rules / usnews.com / associated press
New Jersey’s top law enforcement official on Monday unveiled new guidelines for use of force governing use of force for the state’s nearly 40,000 police officers, saying the changes would make the state a leader in police reform and help restore public trust.
The new reforms, which has been promised since wise spread protests against police brutality sets up a framework for police interactions with civilians, the AG said in a statement.
Among the new policies are a prohibition against any physical use of force against a civilian except as a last resort and only after attempts at de-escalation, a ban on use of deadly force against civilians by using chokeholds and strikes to the head and neck except as a last resort, and a ban against firing at moving vehicles in a chase.
Many other changes in policy are also going into effect.
BLM has advanced the issue of serious police reform farther than it has ever been, and again the Democratic Party sits on the wrong side of effective change.
