Use of Force - Denis Reyes

"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 2015 death of Denis Reyes, 40. Reyes was smothered by police while trying to restrain him during a mental health episode. For more information including a mapping of lethal force in New York over the past decade, visit:
