NYC just said NOT to use chokeholds, and less than a week later ... a cop does exactly that.
Less than a week after New York City said no more chokeholds to cops, an NYPD officer used one while making an arrest ... to the point the person he's subduing loses consciousness.

It's unclear if and when he regained consciousness -- his current condition is also unknown. We also don't know why he was being arrested, and the NYPD isn't saying.
