(CNN) The Baton Rouge Police Department is investigating a traffic stop earlier this month that ended with an officer using his knee to restrain a 17-year-old boy. "We must make sure that we have conducted a process based solely on the law, and not on emotions," Chief Murphy Paul said at a Monday news conference. Myron Daniels says a key factor in determining whether the officer's force was justified will be the exact placement of the officer's knee. "A knee on a back is used as a control method, but not on the neck. "And as you can see, based on that, at no point was the subject, the juvenile's air restricted in any way."
