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.

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.

    Nah, now I just think that people advocating for police reform are fact manipulators and don’t tell the whole story.

      You were never going to care in the first place, so what you apparently only just now think does not matter.

      Right wingers love this tactic, “Oh Id totally care about X issue but [some minor nitpick] now i wont”
