Walking invites time for ideas; sharing ideas clarifies experience. Once a week, we sit down with special guests for a free-flowing session of debriefing and perspective sharing. Among the various forms of documentation for “Total Clarity,” we believe conversation best captures immediacy and inspiration. The streets of New York tell a story and we will do our best to report it.

"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 death of an unidentified man during a 'Buy and Bust' in the 104th Precinct of Ridgewood, Queens.
