A “Rear Naked Choke†or a “Guillotine Choke†is considered lethal force since it could cause brain damage if held too long. The word “choke†does infer deadly force.
With that being said, should we call it something else like “triangular restraint hold†or some other creative name to side step the use of deadly force issue if we only intend to subdue the subject and not kill them? Some people for example, a drunk or a mentally disabled / disturbed person.
Or should it only be used as a lethal force option?
