Description

"Use of Force" is a sub-series of the podcast where we highlight one instance of NYPD use of lethal force 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 death of an unidentified man in the Bayside section of Queens who was classified as an Emotionally Disturbed Person or EDP.  We also talk about what EDP means to the NYPD and recent efforts to change the language.  For more information including a mapping of lethal force in New York over the past decade, visit https://highleyvarlet.com/posts/Use_of_Force
