Disturbing video has surfaced of NYPD officers choking a man unconscious, while using an illegal chokehold. The incident occurred in the Far Rockaway section of Queens. The NYPD released a short statement to YWN that reads: “We are aware of the video and there is an active investigation underway by the Internal Affairs Bureau. This matter is taken extremely seriously and we expect to have an update this evening as the investigation unfolds.” The New York City Council earlier this month passed legislation that made it a criminal offense for cops to use chokeholds. Meanwhile, a crowd has gathered tonight to protest in front of the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway.
