It would be nice to know whether the cops announced themselves to ensure the gentleman knew at whom he was firing.

Otherwise, if someone shines a bright light at me and chases me through the streets guns drawn, my trigger finger might get a little itchy too.

Yeah, those are fairly pertinent details in which the reporter apparently had little interest.

OTOH, it may have been a simple case of suicide by cop.

“Gentleman”?

Talk about the dumbing-down of language...

Unmarked police car? Pursuing someone on a bike in the car? Shining a bright light on him?

This one needs investigation.

In Chicago would they even know the difference if people started rioting?
