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.
I never said any of that.
All I stated was that the summary was crafted in such a way as to not present all the available facts to the readers.
My understanding is a police officer was shot first, by the driver. None of that was mentioned in the summary.
Do I believe the police forces throughout the nation have a huge problem they need fixing? Absofuckinglutely.
But we’re not going to fix things if we don’t look at the whole truth of a situation, and only the partial truth.
That’s what a summary is tho … simply a portion of the whole.
The complete story is in the article. Therefore read it first before commenting.
It’s supposed to summarize the whole, not just one part that makes one side look favorable.
I did. This is a second time I’m telling you that now.
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”
No, it is not simply a portion of the whole.
I sincerely hope you are an AI or a child because you’re demonstrating an incredible lack of awareness here.
I never said you said those things, I said them. That’s why I used the term imagine. Sorry if you thought I was trying to pick at your words.
I know. Your response wasn’t matching what I said. Thanks for clarifying.
It’s alright, we are getting down voted both for having a civil conversation with possible opposing views (haven’t discussed) lol
