(New York, NY) – Rev. Al Sharpton strongly supports Councilman Donovan Richards’ amendment to the City Council’s chokehold bill Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law in July. The amendment was added after police officials raised concerns that a police officer could unintentionally compresses someone’s diaphragm during an arrest.

Rev. Sharpton has been voicing his concern since hearing about this amendment including at the weekly rally of the National Action Network on Saturday, August 29. “The City Council called me and said they were changing the law and I said I want to see the language.

Gwen Carr wants to see the language, and the language we saw is stronger than the other language. I’m not intimidated by the PBA, but I’m also not going to be stopped by what’s going to be beneficial.
