A couple of Instagram videos posted online from Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants home opener are raising questions about whether an already-handcuffed Giants fan was being choked by police.

But the San Francisco Police Department is denying that claim, telling the Bay Area blog SFist this morning that the department does not “conduct choke holds.”

SFPD spokesperson Albie Esparza characterized the hold as a “carotid restraint” to SFist, a move that’s “approved training by the SFPD academy … and can be used to control a suspect.”
