US BRUTAL COPS: 4 Police, 96 Shots in 41 Secs-1 BLACK Man DEAD
Chicago Police Fired 96 Shots Over 41 Seconds During Fatal Traffic Stop - For Failing to Wear a Seatbelt.
Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured, according to graphic video footage a police oversight agency released Tuesday.
MailOnline 10 APR 2024
Dexter Reed's father, Dexter Reed Sr.
Five officers from a tactical unit who were in an unmarked police vehicle surrounded an SUV last month driven by Dexter Reed, allegedly for failing to wear a seatbelt.
Video shows the 26-year-old Black man briefly lowering a window and then raising it and refusing to exit the vehicle as more officers arrived, yelled commands and drew weapons.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said preliminary evidence showed Reed fired first, injuring an officer in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the city´s West Side. Then four officers returned fire, shooting 96 rounds.
The gunshots continued even after "Reed exited his vehicle and fell to the ground," COPA said in releasing the body-worn camera footage, 911 calls and police reports.
The videos released offer a fuller perspective than what police initially offered last month.
Police Superintendent Larry Snelling previously said the shooting on March 21 began with a traffic stop and described it as an "exchange of gunfire."
