State Lawmaker Pushes For Limits To Police Choke Holds

DENVER (CBS4) – Five and a half years after Denver sheriff’s deputies grappled with Marvin Booker, some leaders in the state legislature are attempting to prevent the scenario that ended his life.
Deputies lay on top of Booker in an effort to control him during his booking process in the Denver Jail. He was shocked with a stun gun and put in a sleeper hold, and he died after that.
