Use of Force - Carlos Alcis

"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 2013 death of Carlos Alcis, 43. Police were responding to reports of a stolen cell phone when they entered an apartment complex and began entering apartments without a warrant. Alcis entered cardiac arrest as a result of the incident and was ignored by the responding officers.
