Closely related, it seems the knee-on-neck restraint is taught to US police (including specifically Minnesotan police) and practiced by Israel [1,2]. Or rather, it is documented that it is used by Israeli forces against Palestinians, and those same forces taught US police counter-terrorism tactics. That they also taught the move to US police is, of course, baseless conjecture, and anyone suggesting it pays with their career.
