"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 Michael McBride, 52. McBride was shot by officers in a firefight at the 145th & St. Nicholas Avenue train station after being tracked for a shooting in Rockaway, Queens the day prior.
