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.

    And you’re acting like it’s not evidence at all.

    Not of anyone in the car shooting, like you keep pretending it is.

    Rule number one of everything cops release to the public: if there’s anything significant missing, it’s extremely likely that it’s missing on purpose because it contradicts their narrative.

    Does Trenton Gill even have an alibi? 😛

    real reason the cops targeted him.

    Because they’re trigger happy and murdering people makes them feel powerful, probably.

    I’m very confident they didn’t pick a random black guy.

    Proving once again that you’ve learned nothing from previous similar incidents.

    You seem incapable or unwilling to doubt the narrative you’ve already decided is the Truth™️.

    Says the one who trusts cops without evidence 🙄

    the cops didn’t go active until after the cop gets shot.

    According to cops who have proven no such thing.

    And again, I never said I don’t believe that the cop got shot. I just won’t take a notoriously untruthful and manipulative group of people at their word on WHO shot him.
