Video footage on Tuesday emerged showing the moment when plainclothes Chicago police officers unloaded nearly 100 gunshots during a traffic stop last month, killing a man and subsequently leading to negative anti-cop coverage. However, the narrative of police killing an innocent man runs counter to the facts.
As the New York Post reported, 26-year-old Dexter Reed was killed during a March 21 traffic stop in Humboldt Park on West Ferdinand Street after officers in an unmarked cop car pulled him over for failing to wear a seatbelt.
The wild footage opens with a female officer and four others approaching Reed’s vehicle while he rolls down the window. But he refuses to exit his SUV despite the policewoman angrily ordering him to do so several times.
The officers then back up, and a major shootout subsequently erupts, sending her scrambling.
“Shots fired! Shots fired!” the female officer yells. “Alert the neighbors!”
She and her fellow officers then fire several more bullets before stopping.

Law Enforcement in the US do have a problem. They are quick to use lethal force, militarized, do not de-escalate a situation, some are wanna be tough guys, and the concept of real “policing” has been replaced with making as much money as possible by writing tickets.
IMHO, most sheriff departments because they are elected and usually live in the community still have a community policing mentality, but the police, not so much.
“WILD VIDEO: Chicago Police Fire less than 100 Bullets at Suspect During Traffic Stop, Killing Him – Corporate Media Rushes to Smear Cops, but Evidence Reveals a Different Story”
“Nearly” sounds more dramatic than less than.
“Nearly” sounds more dramatic than less than.
Writing "less than 100 bullets" would be implying that the police should have fired (at least) 100 bullets. Also: "less than 100 bullets" could, legitimately, be said about the police firing only a single bullet. After all, "one" is less than "one hundred."
Regards,
The dead perp loser stated firing at cops first...so cops shot back - - - a very important little detail.
