A state appeals court has rejected a challenge by the San Francisco Police Officers Association to two provisions of a revised use of force policy adopted by the city’s Police Commission in 2016.

The two items are bans on shooting at a moving vehicle in most circumstances and a prohibition on using carotid restraint, a type of chokehold.
