(CNN) Police departments around the world are moving to ban neck restraints in the aftermath of George Floyd's death and the widespread protests that followed. Neck restraints, or neck holds, refer to the practice of officers using their arm or leg to restrain someone's neck. The term "chokehold" is often used in mainstream discourse to refer to any neck hold, but police generally categorize neck restraints in two ways: the stranglehold and the chokehold. But as the cases of Floyd, Garner and others have shown, neck restraints have the potential to go badly wrong -- sometimes resulting in death. Here are some of the cities, states and countries that are banning police neck restraints.
