"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 2014 death of Zale Thompson, a 32-year old man who charged a group of four officers with a hatchet. The incident was later linked to terrorism after investigation revealed Thompson's browser history and religious conversion.
