Not really. The Policy & Procedure Manual used to say that it allows "compressing one or both sides of a person’s neck with an arm or leg without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway" as non-deadly force options. Kneeling on the neck was never expressly approved.
Decent read here: George Floyd death: Neck restraint allowed in Minneapolis can kill The P&P Manual now states, "Neck Restraints and choke holds are prohibited. Instructors are prohibited from teaching the use of neck restraints or choke holds."
