Use of Force - Darrius Kennedy

"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 Darrius Kennedy, a 51-year old man who was shot and killed near Times Square by officers after being confronted during a stop and frisk for smoking marijuana. In this episode, Jessi also talks about a recent police stop she was witness to.
