How they died
Deadly force
Times Square performer Kennedy typically dressed as a ninja and would do backflips for tourist tips. Mid-afternoon on a Saturday Kennedy was engaged by officers for publically smoking marijuana. Pepper-sprayed six times on a slow-walk pursuit he pulled an 11-inch IKEA kitchen knife, reportedly threatened officers with it, and was shot to death.
