Right on Time....a Lawsuit
The body must have cooled off enough?
A federal lawsuit filed by the mother of Dexter Reed contends he was killed by Chicago police officers who unlawfully pulled over his SUV last month and were “outrageously” aggressive as they approached him.
The lawsuit accuses Chicago police of promoting “brutally violent, militarized policing tactics,” and argues that the five officers who stopped Reed “created an environment that directly resulted in his death.”
Reed, 26, was driving in the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street in Humboldt Park on March 21 when tactical officers in an unmarked car stopped his GMC Terrain. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the oversight agency investigating the shooting, has said Reed was stopped for a minor seatbelt violation.
But video footage released by COPA shows the officers aggressively approached Reed, drawing their guns as they yelled for him to lower his window and open his door. Instead, Reed opened fire and struck one of the officers in the wrist, according to COPA.
The other officers shot back, firing as many as 96 shots in 41 seconds, COPA said.
Firstly, it's still a violation, big or small, doesn't matter. Police are tasked with enforcing them all. You want it changed, there's a legislature in session....change the law.
Second, the "militarized policing tactics" is just a nonsense word salad. Define it and we'll guarantee nothing like that occurred or is taught or written in CPD directives.
Thirdly, Reed shot first, Reed shot at the police, Reed wounded an Officer....who happened to be black. We mention that to head off the inevitable accusations of racial profiling.
And lastly, can someone at the FOP sue the media outlets who keep saying "96 shots." All of the official documentation that COPA put on its website shows this to be a lie and the media continues to misrepresent the scumbag lib-tarded head of COPA Andrea Kersten's bullshit e-mail as an "investigation" that still hasn't reached completion.

They really loved him .. yeah right.
The BASTARDS just want the taxpayers to keep paying them.
From cradle to grave.
Right after the city pays off, excuse me, settles this "lawsuit ", ol BJ will pose for pictures with that piece of shit mother. They'll be photographed with one of those oversized checks lottery winners pose with, the ghetto lottery in this case.
Did mommy sue Dexter’s uncle? He shot the valedictorian without being fired upon. Yeah, yeah, I know…it’s a deep pockets lottery thing. Hey Sonny boy, go get some cops to shoot ya. Mommy wants a new purse to match her dancing shoes.
20 bucks says the bitch already bought a brand new Chrysler 300.
These People (or Folks) belong in hell.
Including their bottom-feeding lawyers.
The city should be able to sue the city for filing this bs lawsuit. Lawyers are such bs artists and will lie just for money. The ARDC should put sanctions against lawyers who file bs cases like this. It is shameful how the Lawyers can do any thing they want with out any retribution or punishment.
hopefully the injured officers lawsuit will take any and all of the dead mutts family ghetto lotto
City will pay him. Why waist everyone’s time. Just give an offer. I was involved with a case and told the city attorney what are you going to give them. He said why does everybody think we’re going to give everybody money. Before the Day was over he gave him $50,000 settlement on the cities behalf. He was the at fault vehicle. I looked at him and he said that was the best thing to do. I just wanted to laugh. It was an accident with a city vehicle. I just did the traffic crash report.
Now....the officer that was shot needs to counter sue as well as the officers for psychological distress. Time we start doing this! Time to go on the offense!FOP needs to begin a strategy with providing officers with an Attorney and go after people. Remember Jody Weis...it worked when we fought lawsuits instead of paying out. We need to promote it publicly and let the public were coming after you! What do we have to lose because what we're doing isn't working?
Aldermen Al ready counting their share of the multi millionaire lion dollar settlement that hey will vote on and approve.
Ole boy should have listened to five o good fucking riddance
Welcome to the return of the circus as usual rinse and repeat asshole shot at the police shot a policeman and now he’s dead should be the end of story piece of shit and yet the news media I was watching channel 9 they did like a five minute piece talking about this kid not a kid who they are trying to portray as a kid this punk gangbanger felon as if he was a good person channel 9 news is going down the liberal shit hole, the same as the rest, another fully owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party.
Even though the Police are perfectly in their right to defend themselves, cone heads people will pay the shady family for allowing a retard to carry a gun.
The easiest way to determine how many shots were fired by the cops is to simply ask the crime lab guys, not COPA. They took the guns, counted the rounds in the mags, compared them to shell casings, etc, etc etc. And when I was in my shootings I reported the number of shots fired by counting what I had left in my mags and subtracting from the total, just like the TRRs report.
I'm surprised that it took this long.

If you wrote the traffic crash report as poorly as you wrote this post I can see why the city settled.
At least there was body cameras in use.
Those cameras can be a lifesaver at times.
Sue the family back for the cost of the ammo.
As the poster above (06:11:00) stated the Officer who was shot should be suing this POS's estate. Once the Officer gets the win he can put a lien on the POS's estate and beofre momma gets the payout from shitcago the Officer will get his money first before momma gets hers. Moreover, the other involved Officers should be suing for PTSD.
Mama can’t even wait for the body to get cold before she files for her ghetto lottery prize.
And who is going to be. The star witness our own COPA Chief Administrator with her irresponsible inaccurate statements she gave to the private police haters and Anarchists including the Moron Ja’mal Green.
Kirsten needs to be fired.
They keep talking about how many shots were fired. How many times was he actually hit?
pathetic
Momma is a funny meme. Her crotch dropping finally hit it big!
The cops need to get going on issuing the truth and pointing out the lies being accepted as fact in the Reed shooting. Virtually every media story states the "fact" that the police returned fire with 96 shots in 41 seconds with no mention of the 17 shots fired by the ghetto trash. Without any contradiction the 96 number is accepted fact.
The story of a seatbelt offender shooting at a cop and then getting shot at 96 times is much more incendiary than the truth. An armed criminal shot a cop from his SUV, which started a shootout with 4 cops over then next 41 seconds. During the exchange of fire the criminal fired 17 rounds going 1 for 17. The cops scored xx hits to the SUV, xx misses and xx hits to the criminal. Come on... somebody knows the counts on brass and where the rounds hit. You're losing the battle of public opinion.
If Republicans can get sued for saying the election was rigged, I can't believe there isn't an opportunity to sue a whole host of people and organizations for slander.
Channel-9 rebroadcast that earlier footage of the red wigged mama and cut it just after she did the body shake but before the backward fallout.
What acting!
That Micah news anchor (sporting her new, center parted Beatles wig) again throws out “Police fired 96 shots…”
I don’t know who I can’t stomach more-her or Ben Bradley?
1) I knew that momma was going to throw a "My baby didn't have no gun" lawsuit...it was only a matter of time...Baby Momma done hit the Lot-Trey. I hate lawyers...
2) Whatever happened to "Hands up"-"don't shoot?" Dexter would be alive today, if he had complied. We need to bring this campaign back...
3) If we are going to fight public relations war about perception of CPD, we are going to need better probable cause than "he wasn't wearing his seatbelt." I hope that every cop that reads this blog understands this...Don't initiate the stop until PC has been confirmed. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a mention of it on the radio if time permits when going down on the stop. This applies mostly to tactical teams...
Can we sue Dexter's momma for not swallowing? If she did the right thing, he never would've been in this situation. I hope she and her entire family, and the scumbag lawyer or lawyers representing her, all get victimized by people like Dexter. Lives were saved when Dexter was rightfully put down like the savage animal he was. The streets are now safer than they were.
NO SOUP FOR YOU SAYS:
Arrest ALL Politicians for interfereing in any Police Operations in any way. Obstructing and Official Misconduct
Don’t give these cockroaches one penny. Fuck poindexter and his useless ghetto family. These people contribute absolutely nothing to society and never will.
Alot of those shots came from from the 2 officers who were in an exposed position and were putting down cover and they ran and looked for cover so they would be shot. It worked a was a good job considering they were a few yards away when the badguy started firing
Military tactics on Reed would have been one of those drones that shoots a missile with a bunch of knife blades sticking out the side of it into his car.
He was hit 13 times. I understand the stress of the situation, but that's a lot of misses. And those bullets have to go somewhere...

No, you don't.
And your second guessing shows that.
No Ghetto lottery for this ignorant fucking breeder she and dude on the news interview that claims to be the sperm donator need to be held accountable for aiding, and abating there felony ghetto savage son of a bitch son ! Fuck You Dick Head Dexter You Fucking pile of Maggot Shit !
Two HUGE F-ING problems that no one (other than law enforcement) realize 1st. had dude I mean Dexter FOLLOWED COMMANDS he would not be pushing up weeds. 2nd. Had dude I mean Dexter NOT STARTED, HE STARTED, no one else, DEXTER STARTED SHOOTING!!!!! Had he not been trying to MURDER, not shoot to maim, or shoot to get away but had Dexter NOT SHOT FIRST he may be alive, had he just done what he was told……………… but they never do, not they as in color but they as in George Floyd, etc etc etc
When my kid gets pulled over, he turns on interior lights. He GOLLOWS the commands of the officers & everyone goes home. It can’t get much easier
This POS FA & FO and now he is taking a dirt nap. Parents should be so proud.
Proper cover and approach are not military tactics. It is just good tactics.
Mama Reed...you raised a good for nothing street thug. He's where he belongs, given his actions. Perhaps if we started holding parents accountable for the violent crimes of their spawn, they'd shut their big mouths (and maybe discipline their little angels). Instead of the ghetto lottery, perhaps she needs to collect some ghetto jail prison garb.
The city better fight this ridiculous law suit. Dexter was told over and over and over again to roll down the window, to open the car door and to exit the vehicle. The officer closest to Dexter had his weapon pointing down his side. Ole Dex refused to comply with simple police orders that would have kept him alive today.
Dexter chose to point a gun and fire multiple rounds at the police and shot an officer. Game over. Police win at staying alive.
Dexter chose his own destiny. Perhaps he wanted suicide by cop knowing his crazy momma would file this lawsuit.
Was Dexter possibly committing suicide by cop? He had to know the consequences when surrounded by five, armed officers shouting at him to roll the windows down. He lobe the consequences of getting arrested with that pistol he had. He made a conscious decision to open fire. He knew what he was doing.

Precisely.
Some shit brained have commented on the shots that 'missed' as if every shot fired by the officers was intended to hit the offender.
Anyone with any experience in an exchange of gunfire knows that to focus only on hitting the source of said gunfire often can prove to be less effective at ending it than distracting the offending shooter's focus on hitting you.
If anyone wants to jerk themselves off to ratios of shots fired to hits, do the math on the offender's shots to hits.
Every police officer that was involved in that shooting should counter sue Dexter’s estate. The police now have PTSD base on what Dexter put them through and they deserve to get a payout. Fuck Dexter and his family and fuck the city. You guys have earned every penny Dexter’s family is going to get with a settlement.
Black officer shot by Dexter should immediately file a civil lawsuit against his estate, for grievous intentional harm, a sizable tort payout.
Re the misses. If I was a resident around there I'd file for PTSD too. Blame the police, random shots in a residential neighborhood and complete disregard for their safety.
"Some shit brained have commented on the shots that 'missed' as if every shot fired by the officers was intended to hit the offender."
Hitting and neutralizing the "source of said gunfire" should be an officer's ONLY objective in a defensive shooting situation. Every round that misses (and therefore fails to impair or neutralize the assailant) provides the offender opportunity to continue his violent, aggressive actions against officers. There is NO provision for firing a weapon to distract "the offending shooters focus" in the CPD's Use of Force policy. The only comment I've heard that's dumber than yours was when some ill-informed old timers would advise to never score 100% on the annual qualification, even if skilled shooters had to intentionally miss a few shots-they claimed that if an officer was involved in a shooting and an innocent bystander was hit, they could somehow use their mediocre qualification record as a defense. Of course, they could never cite a single court case where such a defense was used, much less one where it was used successfully.

You are making the false assumption that "members of the community" have the capacity to equate actions with consequences. A significant percentage of that population only knows what they want in the here and now. There is no consideration for the consequence. Whether it's having sex without contraception or dropping out of school or resisting arrest, the negative result never crosses their mind.
The misses: for civilians, "laying down cover fire" is cop talk for CYA bullshit. There isn't a department in America that teaches cops to empty their pistols aiming at nothing in a residential setting.

For idiots:
Not everyone considers your assinine presumptions worthy of more than mockery.
Who the fuck said anything about "aiming at nothing", you fucktard? Only you.
If you had any knowledge, let alone experience, at anything more than watching action movies, you'd know that "aiming at nothing" is an absurd description of distracting/covering fire.
You fucking putz.

You survive an active shooter engagement your way.
Those who do survive do so any way that works.
And the assinine presumptions that fire not strictly aimed at the shooter is not aimed fire and just goes any fucking where is the proof of your puppy poop quality experience.
Fucking bean counting, book crippled, bumbling bureaucrats.

Fuck off, you shyster ghetto lottery hustler.
That area hears gunshits more often then a new years' midnight fireworks display.
And you're dumb enough to try this hustle on this blog's comment thread?
Offender shot 13 rounds. Hit 1.
Thus, 1:13 ratio, offender.
Defenders shot 79 rounds, amongst 5.
Hits 13.
Thus, 13:79 ratio, 5 defenders.
With seperate rounds fired counts for each.
So, define each officer's rounds fired count, determine which arms fired those 13 rounds that stopped the offender, then find the ratio of each each.
All rounds not found to be present in the now stopped and deceased offender can be concluded to be cover/distraction rounds.
Before suck assed shysters get all drooling over where those rounds went, find one, just one, anywhere posing a valid threat to anyone.
And prove it came from any of the arms of the officers on scene.

Ol Timer here....
If I am ever testifying in a court of law, I am going to say "I was taught in the Police Academy to Keep firing until the threat is diminished" and "If you can justifiably fire one round for deadly use of force, then firing an entire magazine is not an additional use of force."

I agree with you but how did that workout for Van Dyke?
If he had shot McDonald once and killed him he would probably be a free man.
Used to if deadly force was considered reasonable no one cared how many shots the cops fired.
Police no longer get the benefit of doubt.
