Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured last month.

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.

    Point to one piece of evidence in that story that is not based on testimony.

    In fact every quote you’ve provided makes it more clear there is no evidence.

    Ed: your source

    It was not immediately clear from CNN’s review of bodycam footage who fired first.

    The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) is an independent city agency which has the authority to investigate allegations of police officer misconduct and police shootings.[28] It can make recommendations about disciplinary action and department policy, but cannot take such action itself.[27][29] COPA was created in 2016, replacing the former Independent Police Review Authority.[29]

    Tell me, if a lawsuit is successful who pays? The city does! So who has a inherent bias? The city!

    You’ve clearly never been to Chicago or pay attention to its policing.

    They don’t have 4 agencies and a consent decree because they’re super honest or good at their jobs.
