GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Grand Rapids officials on Wednesday announced several changes to its policies on using force, notably saying they would explicitly ban chokeholds.

City Manager Mark Washington, Police Chief Eric Payne and Director of Oversight and Accountability Brandon Davis spoke about the policy changes at an afternoon press conference.

[GRA: How did we get to this point, where if you're white, you’re disqualified from running a medium to largely populated city. This is more racist than it was when whites dominated these jobs the past 50 years, because at least then, whites had a 90/10 ratio over blacks. Now, black population in big cities is between 25 to 50%, yet almost every police chief, mayor, or city manager is black. Whites aren't even CONSIDERED for these jobs.]

[N.S. to GRA: There’s a back story here that the MSM refuse to tell.]

The Grand Rapids Police Department will improve its use of force policy within 60 days, they said. In addition to the ban on chokeholds — a practice Payne said had never been used — officers will be instructed to deescalate situations when possible by communicating and maintaining distance. Officers will be required to give a verbal warning and exhaust all other options when possible before using deadly force.

[N.S.: “De-escalation”: Police surrender.]

GRPD will also require officers to intervene when seeing other authorities using excessive force and report the incident to a supervisor.

GRA: Meaningless pablum. When the SHTF, you do what you have to—as a cop—to protect yourself. No reason to die at the hands of a black thug.
