New York Cop Being Investigated Over Apparent Chokehold of Pregnant Woman
Police are investigating whether a cop put a seven-months-pregnant woman in a chokehold while arresting her for illegal grilling in Brooklyn

Police are investigating whether a New York cop put a 7-month-pregnat woman in a chokehold while arresting her for illegal grilling in Brooklyn — an incident caught on film.
Photos released Monday by an East New York advocacy group show Rosan Miller, 27, struggling with a cop who appears to have his arm around her neck.

The NYPD prohibits the use of chokeholds.
According the New York Daily News, officers went to the home over the weekend because Miller was grilling on a public sidewalk in violation of local law. But a commotion broke out that ended with her, her brother and husband all in handcuffs.
Her brother, John Miller, was charged with harassment and obstruction of justice. Her husband, Moses Miller, 34, was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction. Rosan Miller got a summons for disorderly conduct.
When former city councilman Charles Barron heard, he called cops to complain and “expedite” the Millers’ release, he said.
“This was all over a grill,” Barron said. “This is about grilling in front of her house.”
This incident comes after a case in which a man died while in an apparent chokehold, which has led to a public outcry. Eric Garner, 43, of Staten Island, died July 17 after a confrontation with cops who were arresting him for selling loose cigarettes.
