Choke holds could have been outlawed a long time ago.  Washington state and/or Seattle could have made them illegal at any time.  However, the dummycrats have controlled the state and city for many decades.  Must everything be fixed at the federal level?  Can’t the dummycrats fix anything?  Guess not.  They just wait until something goes wrong and then blame the president.  That way, they can use it as an issue in the election.
