Felon Pulled Over, Shoots Cops – Gets Fatally Shot In Return, Protests and Chaos Ensues at Police Station

Another story involving a shootout.

Another shootout involving ignored key facts.

What we know about this shooting in Chicago is that Dexter Reed, black male, 26, was stopped regarding not wearing a seat belt.

While that does seem odd, I suspect that something else was at play.

Maybe the officers had a hunch about something?

Turns out there was an illegal gun in Dexter’s car.

And he had previous issues with the law regarding gun offenses.

Did that pop up on any of the officer’s computers that they all have in their cars?

But that won’t stop the media from trying to twist this, painting Dexter has the innocent victim.

Notice the headlines of most of the legacy media reporting on this.

“96 shots fired!”

“100 shots fired!”

A tactic used to stir up the people to get upset, painting the narrative that this innocent teen “was overpowered by officers using excessive force.”

What difference is it if it was 1 or 91?

It’s called self-defense.

The cops were returning fire on this teen who already shot 10 times at them.

Their goal was to put down the threat.

You don’t stop at 10 shots to equal the score and hope that did the trick.

Here’s 2 headlines, one from Yahoo and the other CNN:

He’s just an innocent “driver”.

Again, why does the “96” make the headline?

Fox 32 Chicago local news report:

Outside CPD’s 11th district on Tuesday, chaos erupted as demonstrators blocked streets and clashed with police.

Nearly 100 activists and concerned Chicago residents gathered in solidarity, demanding justice following the death of Dexter Reed.

“We don’t need armed police officers to enforce seat belt regulations. Why are tactical teams responding to routine traffic stops? It doesn’t add up. Dexter Reed’s vehicle had tinted windows, so the argument that they were enforcing seat belt laws doesn’t make sense,” said Reed’s supporters.

COPA investigators stated that the 26-year-old fired at police first during a traffic stop in Garfield Park. Police body camera footage depicted Reed out of the car, on the ground, with officers continuing to shoot.

“They fired away 96 times in 41 seconds. They fired away 40 times on an unarmed man outside his vehicle”, said Andrew Stroth, the attorney for the Reed family.

Reed, aged 26, was a former basketball standout at Westinghouse High School, leading the team to a regional championship. His mother mentioned his passion for cooking and his aspiration to pursue a career in broadcasting.

Reed’s supporters are advocating for the abolition of the department’s tactical teams and for the officers involved to face criminal charges.

Meanwhile, 24-year-old Julius Reed, who is the brother of Dexter, was arrested around 6:44 p.m. Tuesday night as protests erupted outside the Harrison District police station at 3151 W. Harrison St., according to an arrest report and Stroth.

Details of the arrest are sparse, but Julius Reed was unarmed and resisted arrest, according to the report.

Charges against Reed are battery and two counts of resisting arrest, all misdemeanors, according to the arrest report.

 

They system seems to be trying for a George Floyd sequel but it’s not 2021 anymore; it’s not going to work.

So, of course, there’s now chaos outside of the Chicago police station.
