Use of Force -Tyjuan Hill

"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 2012 death of Tyjuan Hill, 22. Hill was shot in the back of the head while being restrained by six officers after fleeing a prostitution sting operation.
