Attorney General William Barr says he supports a prohibition on the use of chokeholds by police unless officers are confronted with “potentially lethal force.”

In a wide-ranging interview on Fox News’s “Special Report with Bret Baier” on June 8, the attorney general covered ground that included the movement to defund law enforcement and addressed what he called a “crisis in policing.”
