Two Choices
- Stop no one or
- Ticket everyone
It pays to shoot at police it seems:
Chicago taxpayers are being asked to pay $1.25 million to compensate the family of Dexter Reed, who was shot to death by police officers last year after Reed shot and wounded one of them during a traffic stop.
The settlement stems from an “unlawful and unconstitutional traffic stop” by a Chicago Police Department with a “history of these pretextual stops,” said Andrew Stroth, an attorney for the Reed family.
The $1.25 million settlement includes “non-monetary relief for a family committed to reform,” said Stroth, who declined to spell out the specific reforms.
Yeah, because it's a money grab, and Conehead is probably getting a sizable contribution to his reelection fun.
“This case is about an unlawful and violent escalatory traffic stop in a city that has a pattern and practice of these types of discriminatory, pretextual stops,” Stroth told the Sun-Times on Monday.
In a pretexual stop, officers use some minor offense, like a traffic violation, as a pretense to look for more serious things, like guns or drugs.
"Pretexual" is the progressive buzzword for "police stops WE don't like because WE don't have to follow the rules of a civilized society."
A"minor offense" is still a violation of the law and subject to a traffic stop. Looking for something beyond the stop is just good police work, because people who ignore the little things (valid plates, stickers, licenses, cracked windows, tints, unsafe vehicle conditions, stop signs, etc) tend to ignore bigger things, too, like drug and gun laws. A good cop will make observations, gather info and ask questions that will reveal more information.....or at least they used to.
- The officers opened fire after Reed fired first, striking one of five tactical officers in his hand. All of the officers were dressed in plainclothes and were piled into a single SUV. In the days and hours leading up to Reed’s death, those same five officers conducted 50 traffic stops on Chicago’s West Side. None of those 50 stops generated a single citation.
Because that's what they were told to do - the Sparklefart TSSSSSSS cards to prove that cops were observing minor infractions, stopping the offenders, BUT NOT CITING THEM BECAUSE WRITING 50 TICKETS TO MINORITY DRIVERS (in a neighborhood that is 99% minority) WOULD BE RACIST, not to mention financially burdensome and Lord knows, we can't use lawfully authorized fines to correct misbehavior the way the legislature intended.
So the lesson to be learned is:
- stop no one, even if hte commander threatens you with going back into uniform or having to work midnights until you get some actual seniority or
- write everyone and be labeled as racist, because the minute you get shot and justifiably return fire, you'll be crucified in the media, railroaded by CuckFopa, and sold out by Conehead.
Fuck Conehead.

A "violent escalatory traffic stop?" What exactly was violent about it before ol' Dexter opened fire on the police? Why did Dexter illegally possess and use a gun? If the police shouldn't use "minor" traffic violations to stop violent armed felons driving around the city, should they just wait for them to start shooting from the car? 1.25 million Dexter Reeds wouldn't be worth a pile of dog shit, so how is one Dexter Reed worth $1.25 million? These lawsuits in general are ridiculous, but especially so when the dead shitbag fired at the police and even hit one of them. Fuck anyone who thinks his family deserves anything but blame for his death. Momma shoulda raised him right if she didn't wanna bury him. May he rot in hell until his momma joins him.
Fuck you...pay me.
hopefully the shot officer filed a lawsuit against the dead mutt and any payout will be held up
Why doesn’t the shot copper sue the estate of Dexter for injuries and mental duress. Shouldn’t the union be farming this out to an enterprising law firm or shouldn’t the copper wake up and find his own lawyer?
Five young up and coming officers in the dept ruined for absolutely no fucking reason at all . They’re all fucked because a west side menace decided to shoot at officers and reminder ( shoot a black officer ) who will never be able to be a police officer again because his arm will never be the same , constant surgeries constant pain . Dexter Reed had one thing on his mind that day and that was to kill Chicago Police Officers , and be made a martyr or saint which is exactly what this despicable city has done . Five officers have been stuck in ARS for almost an entire year , stress faced media monthly falsely negatively portraying them as bad guys and yet people wonder why CPD leads the nation in suicide .
Man, turns out the Old Timers who were considered “dogs” when I came on were actually visionaries.
They made the same amount of money (or more) for just methodically pushing a beat car and taking their sweet-assed time conducting “preliminary investigations”.
They knew the game and how to get to the Finish Line unscathed. I tip my hat to these men and women who had the foresight to understand that this is just another job. The youngsters today need to adopt the same methodology.
Only a reckless individual would go out and conduct a bunch of traffic stops. I have been in survival mode for a while now. Only a fool is pulling people over.
I have not stopped no one in five years, Political Honcho's don't care, why should I. Get what you vote for till then, Fuck off.
Hard times make hard men, and the USA has been a soft sofa cushion for a long long time. It's gonna get rough people, Trump can't stop it either....
Just write Parker’s.
The ghetto lottery.
Be stupid, act stupid, blame someone else.
Get rewarded if ya dont get killed or the family gets yours
Reinforced by activists, ministers and Democrats
And pandering bottom feeding lawyers
More absolute wasted taxpayer money🤬🤬🤬🤬
"The American public is going to have to decide, what do you want? Do you want cops to enforce the law, or do you want somebody here to adhere to some sort of manufactured or false or politically correct policy when it comes to enforcing the law?....It is a very untenable situation for the troopers, and frankly, it's an untenable situation for the citizens."

Wheres FOP & why haven't they filed a lawsuit on behalf of the officers to get that money from the mutts family
Great officers held captive in ARS being blasted constantly by the media , even worst they were blasted by some of our own before the video even was released . Some of our own was portraying as a “ execution “ before the video was even released you should all be ashamed of yourselves , every officer that was part of that misleading lie should be ashamed of themselves you’re just as guilty as the despicable slum times and any other disgusting media agency .
These officers have gave up everything for a city that doesn’t give two fucks about them . A officer will never be able to be the police again because the monster shot him in the forearm causing permanent pain . Four other officers who were trying to make a difference will never be able to have a normal career even if COPA doesn’t bend them over because of the stain that they shouldn’t have . We could’ve been burying five officers in March last year but that’s something everyone seems to forget . Reed shot 13 times and if Reed did suffer from mental health that’s a shame mental health is a bitch but you can’t shoot at cops and expect them to get killed first that is absolutely insanity portrayed by the far left anti police hating Democratic Party .
Times like these we shouldn’t be blaming these officers making jokes about them having two years on or for wanting to be a difference maker because we were all there at one point in our careers . We should all be absolutely outraged at the treatment these officers have gotten and if you aren’t your just as guilty and part of the problem . Look out for one another no matter what unit you work , your work ethic or whatever else it may because we’re all we have we have nobody else in our corner besides our families a select few friends and us .
This entire incident has been bad since it started and before it happened and now the officers involved will have to deal with it . Lack of supervision , lack of teaching , poor leadership one of the officers had a year on and shouldn’t have even been on tac yet but was apparently asked to be on the team , filled with a team with a bunch of young officers with no veteran mentorship on the team . Five officers in one squad car a safety concern the whole incident wasn’t safe from the get go , five officers in a a tight space if they got in a accident they would’ve been killed and in this instance it created crossfire immediately on top of Dexter spraying rounds everywhere .
I’d were honest most stops fall into two categories: filling a number or searching for something. They’re right mostly, these 06 teams and tac teams are making hundreds of traffic stops with no intention on writing tickets or correcting driving behavior, they’re only looking for a gun or drug pinch. We know that is true. They know that is true. Why not just admit it? We have teams on this department making traffic stops for the sole reason of searching for illegal guns and drugs. If they want that to stop because it’s pretextual they’re right. They are not technically right because an officer can just say I was trying to enforce traffic laws and I saw something in the stop. But they are absolutely right because none of these tac teams or 06 teams have any intentions on writing a mover. They will write a mover if they make an arrest but only if they find that gun. Everyone knows this but can’t say it because then we’d be admitting the truth of it.
The second type of stop is to fill a number. 15 blue cards and you get to go home type of stuff. Again, no intention on writing a ticket or correcting behavior, just getting that stop number to fill a quota.
I would wager an actual traffic stop conducted to actually address a violation with no real other intention, no quota to fill, not trying to find a gun or drugs,
1/100 stops, maybe even fewer than that.
Here's an idea....how about the union provide attorneys or the officers engaged in these incidents and are hurt or wounded hire attorneys and counter sue to recover some of the same large payouts the city gives to the offender or its family. Don't we suffer psychological and emotional damage after having engaged in a shooting. Hmmmmm. Time to start setting a precedent!
5 guys piled into an Explorer, that has to be fun, and seems cruel to the coppers.
In some countries when the government executes a criminal they charge the family for the cost of the bullet. In this lawless town the offenders are the victims. His surviving family members get 1.25 million after he fired on 5 on duty police officers striking one of them ???
SPECIAL people get everything.
If the city and corp counsel weren’t corrupt, they’d take the case to court.
When the city wins the case hold the ambulance chasing scumbag attorney accountable and charge him a $50,000 minimum fee for city’s cost of representation and charge 7% interest per month on any outstanding balance.
It’s the vulture attorneys that need to be brought to heel. Who’s launder money then?
It really is amazing that you can shoot a police officer and the police are made to be at fault for stopping this shit head. This is why you do nothing. You can’t get in trouble for having zero activity. Here’s the bottom line you get paid the same amount of money as the kid that’s out there doing proactive policing and you get none of the stress.
Option 1, Self preservation mode.
Shut up already, fool. These coppers put themselves in this trick bag when they refused to listen to tenured officers REPEATEDLY regarding playing the numbers game to work tact. They’re all 7 x 3, they knew what they were doing when they wanted to be ghetto police superstars. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sorry a copper was hurt, but you’ll get zero sympathy because they’re now sitting at ARS. If they’re smart, they’ll realize this is the best thing to happen to them… they’ll have plenty of time to reflect on the past and ponder the future. The really smart ones out of them will have the epiphany to do nothing but the bare minimum whenever they eventually return to duty. Maybe you’ll understand, but based on your little diatribe I’d say you’re just another boner who needs to learn things the hard way.
Third choice, hit me again bartender.
The "union" and I use that term loosely will do NOTHING as usual
100%
ah the soft bigotry of lowered expectations - you can't expect a young male black to comply with a traffic stop for a minor infraction
When people wake up and realize the fop is useless and only in it for themselves only then will a real union replace them. Until then, just like the people in Shitcago, you get what you voted for.
Always take the first option, you have to be a moron to go out and be proactive in this anti law enforcement climate.
Retired in Texas……
My guess the undeserving family will move to the western suburbs and will broke within 3 years…………..
Stay safe out there…………..and fuck off conehead!!!!!
I think it's stop no one. There's always a cop by the skyway, why I have no idea. The other morning while it was still dark, a black minivan got on the nearest entrance. It was old, filthy van and had no headlights on, no taillights, nothing. They tailed me to the toll gate, jumped the gate by coming through behind me and proceeded on its way past the cop. I slowed a little to see if the cop would even move. Nope. Van proceeded on its way still not a single light turned on and it was speeding.
What’s wrong with this picture “5 people in 1 vehicle”. Lack of running vehicles or too much manpower.
Any officer reading this, if you've been through COVID, St. Druggie riots, and the weaponization of fellow officers for justified actions on the job and still thinking you should be RISING to an occasion to do anything other than self-preservation you won't be getting my sympathy or 10-1 benefit ticket, go start digging your early grave.
Lawyers will steal a third of that 1.25 million and the complainant will be broke again by Christmas...it's the ghetto lottery cycle...
How do you think BARZ motivated us to get blue cards in summer mobile so we can get to go home early? I was never comfortable with that so I always
went to a police station and worked out or studied for exam because I didn’t want to get caught up.
This is all the Mayors fault because he refuses to release funding for new vehicles. How else can we do our job?
This all falls on the stupervisors who push for blue cards and then when the officers get jammed up they walk away unscathed. Fuck them!
They take these young kids and put them on tact or days and give them a number that they want of TSSS cards so that they can remain on the team or watch. No actual police work done. Just fill out the blue cards and that satisfies the bosses.
Bring back those days when Tac Cops were the SWAT Teams, and busted caps with their .41 Magnums, and hit what they aimed at. An era that dictated tgat God help ya if you laid hands on a Chicago Cop and got caught. Lights Out, Chicago.
One question......what about the Officer that was shot?
….and don’t forget one of the main culprits, the leftist lapdog media.
The only reason they are settling is because the offender's name is "Dexter". It's such a nice name
You're the police and don't realize that a traffic stop is supposed to be used to conduct further investigation? You pull someone over for a stop sign or seatbelt, you look at everything and everyone in the car, ask for required documents, which often aren't present, find numerous other things that need investigation or police action, and you think you can and should just write a ticket and move on? Some of the best arrests of the worst criminals occurred solely because some officer made a simple traffic stop. Same goes for street stops. Without street stops and traffic stops, criminals know they can get away with almost anything, and crime increases... kind of like what's been happening already. Regardless of what happens after the stop for a "minor" violation, no one gets randomly arrested for a felony, or shot by the police, or whatever other horrible thing unless they did something to cause it. I've been pulled over several times, never been arrested or shot by the police, never had drugs planted in my car or on my person, never even worried that any of that would happen. I wonder why. Stop making excuses for criminals and agreeing with scumbag lawyers and politicians who try to make actual police work sound like a fishing expedition. If you go fishing and a fish jumps in your boat and slathers itself in butter and lemon, jumps in a frying pan and lights a fire, you don't throw it back. The cases make themselves from a simple traffic stop. You should know this and support it.
Not police here but, Am I required to pull over for an unmarked car? Didn’t you used to get a marked car to pull over a suspicious car?Is it just a short cut that gangsters pull over for plainclothes police? I suspect I’m not the type pulled over, but I might not pull over for 5 People dressed like bangers.
Especially after grabbing lunch at Jimmydogs!
Don't be silly J-Can't needs a new truck, splurge money, and many other miscellaneous items. J-Can't can't be bothered with us union due paying simpletons, just pay your dues and move along.
Dexter hasn’t committed a traffic violation or any felony’s since his last encounter with some good aggressive police officers in 11. Most citizens in 11 are glad the police officers survived the attack and Dexter is taking a dirt nap.
Caps office to fill in on the watch to combat overtime.
The Bigger Goal is to keep the Bears in Chicago! That’s what are Goofy Mayor is worried about? Along with the traffic problems in and around the Museum campus? This idiot is worried about some stupid stuff and not the things that matter?
Orrr, if you’re going to stop 50 people in two days.. write 5-10 of them the proper moving violations. This guy shouldn’t get a free pass. Officers were 100 percent justified. Shame on the tac Lt and Sgt letting these kids go out and ride 5 deep in a car. Don’t be afraid to write movers. Traffic court is by zoom and it’s easy money. Might as well write the movers, not on all but use your discretion.
Yet CRT , tac will be doing the same stops as soon as today , the same identical stops that wrongfully jammed up these kids .
Before I get jumped on by some warriors in this case no officers should be getting punished this shooting was justified and the stop appeared clean . But veterans have constantly warned young coppers to stop the crazy cowboy shit it’s not worth it not just in 011 but everywhere I don’t care if you work in 020 it’s the same thing . Weeks before this shooting an officer on the team got hurt after being dragged by a car .
There’s a reason Jesus said, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities” (Luke 16:10).
Some of these asshole comments smell like Saadia Carter.
Saadia: get your hobo, foreclosed, too-poor-to-actually-retire lying skank ass outta here.
Can't speak to the conditions in Chicago but, here in Oklahoma, it gets hammered into every LEO from town constables in East Podunk to OHP troopers - McVeigh was caught because of a traffic stop.
ha ha ha, you so funny.
that officer demonstrated the proper use of de-escalation he was taught to do by the democRAT politicians and useless brass,,,,,, and it worked,,,, there was no police interaction with that good citizen behind you to complain about
May God bless all the 5 officers involved! They successfully removed a POS off the streets and saved many lives.
Fuck BARZ and any other supervisor demanding numbers in today’s times. Let them do their fucking job. If today they get no stops and tomorrow they get 2 and recover a gun or hot car then so be it. Whatever it is - it is. When officers are forced to meet activity mandates and force it to meet them, shit always happens.
You're the police and don't realize that It’s 2025 and there is and has been an anti-police for years and you shouldn’t be doing a fucking thing other than scratching out reports and whatever other nonsense you do daily?
And to answer your question I would stick that buttered fish and the lemon up that IAD Rat BARZ’s ass sideways if he told me to bring in Blue-cards or whatever they’re called nowadays.
Just show up sober and write reports…
Leadership?Just look at who their Commander is, her background and the who she selected for Tact Lt.
That’s why when they get into a pursuit and accident, it wipes out 2/3 of a team. Our old Tact Lt would find something else for us to do around the station and would never let us go out 4 deep yet alone 5.
It’s all a business for them. Corp counsel kicks up cases to their friends connected firms and they make a ton. Then years later they open their own firms and go after the city and coppers and make more $.
Indeed! Fool is an understatement!
You're obviously not the police, so you didn't have to include that part. As for the rest of your post, you sound like a real dumb motherfucker. If an unmarked car tries to pull you over, just drive into the nearest body of water or tree.
These tac fools can’t bother to even conform to the loose rules of wearing your vest carrier on the outside. They put themselves in the bag by being dumb.
Section 8 recipients don't know how to function nor survive without the government money.
I'm actually retired, and I realize all of that, but none of it changes the facts I posted. Just because you're afraid to do police work, no matter how justified that fear is in the current climate, doesn't mean it's not police work. Traffic stops and street stops are fundamental police work, and they result in crimes being solved and criminals being taken off the street, when implemented in areas that still hold criminals accountable for their crimes. I think you missed the point of my entire post just so you could whine about the current anti-police climate. I know all about it, but that's not what was being discussed. Try to keep up.
No, they were probably dogs.
Have another one on me.
