Use of Force -Joshua Williams

"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 2019 death of Joshua Williams, a 32 year old undergoing gender transition who was shot by police after attacking their domestic partner with a knife on the Lower East Side.
