Truly just pandering to put the onus on Council.  The wildest part is that she wants to roll back the prohibition on neck restraints (like the kind that killed George Floyd which led to Bowser having her biggest political moment of painting a plaza with Black Lives Matter), which have been prohibited since the 1980s in DC because they can result in serious harm.  Her proposal begs the question: is MPD's inability to seriously harm people through neck restraints what is preventing them from doing their job or does she think the use of neck restraints will somehow cause would-be criminals to think twice?
