As a result of their encounter Brown was asphyxiated in a choke hold. The officer was indicted for both voluntary and involuntary manslaughter; in April 2014 "Christopher's Law" requiring police officers to be trained in CPR, cultural sensitivity, the proper use of force, and interacting with the physically and mentally disabled passed the MD General Assembly but was vetoed by the governor.
