Original Note:
The post uses the word “choked” to suggest that Penny deliberately strangled Neely in an attempt to kill him. In reality, Penny was using a “chokehold” – a technique used in law enforcement (however, some police departments have recently restricted or banned the practice). https://eji.org/news/justice-department-limits-chokeholds-and-no-knock-warrants/
