"Use of Force" is a sub-series of the podcast where we highlight one instance of lethal use of force in New York City over the past decade along the route we're walking for the week. The name refers to the Use of Force reports the NYPD generates each year where descriptions of these events are compiled. This week we discuss the 2012 death of Shereese Francis, 30. Francis was suffocated to death by four NYPD officers after her family had called 311 to get her metal health assistance.
