Use of Force - Michael Hansford

"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 2018 death of Michael Hansford, 52. Hansford was shot by police while carrying a knife during a dispute with his landlord. For more information including a mapping of lethal force in New York over the past decade, visit:
