Unforced Error
This is a badly timed "whoops" for sure:
- A lawyer for Dexter Reed’s family is calling for Chicago’s police oversight agency to release a report that largely clears a group of tactical officers of wrongdoing in connection to the 2024 shootout that claimed Reed’s life.
Why do we say "badly timed"?
- The report by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability remains under wraps as the Chicago Police Department reviews the findings. That means police Supt. Larry Snelling could still challenge COPA’s conclusions.
Why would Larritorious challenge the findings?
[Officer X] was among three officers who continued firing after Reed had exited his SUV and fallen to the ground. [Officer X], who was the last officer to stop shooting, fired a total of 34 rounds and reloaded his weapon during the exchange of gunfire, according to a report by the state’s attorney’s office.
Over the weekend, [Officer X] was named in a police report after allegedly threatening to beat up a detective at a Norwood Park bar. A police spokesperson said he remains on active duty.
Gee, could Larritorious could use this as cover to get rid of at least one potential problem child?
It's not like it hasn't been done before.
A couple times that we know of.
Even for people that were RDO when the shit hit the fan.
And then the City dragged out the appeals and lawsuits for two, three, even more years.

Sounds like KF did Larry a favor. KF to be promoted and the other kid will be looking for a new line of work.
Did society a favor by eliminating this mutt
The department is always on garbage. It’s either the Superintendent, COPA or the Bureau of Internal Affairs(BIA). All them at one time or another are on BS. The worst is BIA. They shape the outcome to the bosses wants and needs. Nothing is fair, objective or honest. The workers are the ones who are hanged out to dry. Nonworker's or slacker's have nothing to worry about! It’s just the way it is. The more you see and the more time you have on you start to understand this. Handle accordingly before you’re the one dealing with the Superintendent, COPA or BIA hoping for mercy for just trying to do a job. When the bosses, media or public cry for your blood they have no problem stringing you up! The job pays well but comes with a lot of stress and BS. We would have all been better off being Firefighters. No BWC and we could sleep and get paid. A whole lot less BS!
Public Service announcement: If you don't subscribe to the Slum Times, you can open the link in "Incognito" mode. It worked for me.
Sounds like KF is a pussy
34 rounds with a reload? How bad a shot is he?
Remember.....if it weren't for BWC's Dexters family would have gotten a huge payday.
Possibly the greatest self own in history was the left demanding BWC's in the wake of George Floyd.
Police adapted, the bad guys did not
I will be the first to say that the department always does a fair, impartial and unbiased investigation with all crimes:

TS deserves everything that’s coming his way. Daddy isn’t saving you this time. One good shooting doesn’t give to you a golden ticket to be a drunken asshole
Use revolvers.
Sounds like TS is a drunken nepo baby moron.
KF did the right thing by sending the trash where it belongs
Firefighter? No thanks! That job requires ladders and I HATE ladders
Gezzz someone get that PO on the medical for PTSD already.. its obvious they are suffering from a very bad traumatic event!
Everyone was a "problem" before they did something dumb
Everyone was a "great person" after they die.
In between that they were never talked about.
Thats always the mo!
Hey fellow blue... help your fellow blue and get that kid to some professional help and stop bashing him on an incident you weren't at and will never know how you would have reacted.
Tunnel vision is a real crippling event in a high stress situation... your brain is really on a delay from the information being fed to it by the eyes and then delayed even more on sending singles to stop an action.
Sorry e-learning cant "train" you prevent that.
Man I would file a federal lawsuit against this dept for lack fire arm defense training.
At a minimum..anyone ofc thats that in or on a proactive numbers team, unit, watch, etc should be getting monthly training on situations like this .. especially those in the "high crime areas".
The dept sets you up failure!
Just like they protested for change within the polcie dept.
The police need to protest for change within the police department and its "training".
Stop with all the bs e-learning that everyone just clicks through and uses the shared answers to pass its test.
Give us hands on training every month where we will remember and actually retain like real training does.
Not financially possible?
Man power makes it impossible?
Well you cant hold a persom responsible for their actions when you didnt properly training them.
Someone challenge this already!!! Before its to late and the profession is stuck with this for ever.
I’m still confused by the VRI money? How much does the city owe the membership? Also is it really collecting interest? I heard it’s 500 million. Is that even true?
Fire them all! KF is useless tubby and TS barely has any time on the job!! Good riddance…
everybody keeps talkin about the harlem/ higgins triangle what about the drunken crap that goes in mt greenwood?
That’s the problem here. These internal processes stay open for years and years after what happened. It was a high profile shooting that was deemed justified. That internal process should’ve been completed already. Instead, they keep people on a string and years later suddenly you’re stripped or fired for it. It’s bogus af.
Why is he still on the job?
Unbelievable this loose cannon is lucky he was charged for the shooting then a complete drunk starting fights.
Bad shot and scared this job isn't for him
Lol ok snowflake calm down
watch the bodycam idiot you’ll see the entire scene
What did he do that was so bad ? KF RAN HIS MOUTH , KF is a dork , Kf should worry about illegally working at a bar per dept policy . I’ll be sure to take pics next time of him working the door on the weekend checking IDs acting like a tough guy mall cop detective
Somebody needs to Bust TS bubble….
Congrats on the dumbest comment i have seen on here in weeks. A tremendous accomplishment
Guy was hit 9 times
He’s a better drinker than a shooter.
About 950 of the more than 5,750 people hired by the Chicago Police Department since 2016 no longer are on the job. Their average time with the department? Not even three years.
Well said
When our son got out of the Marines he was asking questions about the TAC squad... My older brother was on the job for 38 years and I've seen how things were going so I advised him to go to the CFD... So far so good...
Maybe mental health issues/PTSD from the shooting. Maybe a clouted kid who thinks he’s untouchable.
Regardless, he’s finding out the hard way. And in years past he would’ve gotten his ass whupped instead of “calling 911 to report he’s being mean to me”.
Walk away from the kid, or handle the shit. If he threatened you, you can defend yourself.
Christ if you can’t sort this stuff out without CALLING the police, you shouldn’t BE the police.
Sounds to me like one idiot bumped into another idiot.
Try to keep up, no one is judging him for the Reed incident.
Sounds to me like he’s being judged for his drunken escapades.
And a large part of the problem is who the city is hiring, not what they’re training. Your line of thinking implies that every officer on the force should be a high-speed doorkicker, and if you aren’t trained as such than the city is at fault.
The reality is this- not everyone on this job should have been hired in the first place. We can’t “coach our way” out of that.
I do agree that tact and units that are “aggressive” should have additional training, and I think the city is actually doing that.
But now the problem is that 1) as talked about not everyone should be on the job, and now they’re on tact, and 2) Tact is basically reverse seniority nowadays, with no “old timers” on the tact to teach them how to work tact. Gone are the days of a worker with 25 years on working tact.
So now you get 2 kids who went to the academy together partnering up on tact with 20-something months on the job. And the tact “vets” have 3-6 years on.
It’s not necessarily a training problem, but a personnel and institutional knowledge problem.
Fire this buffoon before he costs taxpayers millions!
At least 200 million, maybe as much as 400 million.
I wouldn’t hold your breath on it though. Kicking the can down the road perpetually. Brandon Johnson certainly ain’t paying it.
Yes the narrative of the big bad wolf cops has largely been debunked.
Did you see the latest push now that they are finding that cops typically aren’t problematic, and exposing certain communities for unprovoked violence and shenanigans? Now they’re saying that bodyworn cameras should be rethought because young women are victimized. You can’t make this stuff up. Do it to appease “da communerty”, and now it is infringing on women. Can’t figure out what it is they want, it’s a true damned if you do/don’t scenario
Absolutely. He is a loose cannon. Now he thinks he is untouchable. He is a walking liability .
That detective is a pussy. Many of these new Detectives are now. They come to the area entitled like they are owed something. Stfu and learn your craft. You are not a badass because you made detective. If anything you are held to a higher standard because of it
Mount Billywood north.
Spot on with the evil 3 of a working copper.
LOL!
About 60% of the department suffers from PTSD.
CPD internal workings are a joke! Keep your head low and get to retirement.
Well said.
Yep, a good P.O out of 010 on views a shooting.L/K flees in hot car, crashes , exits flees on foot with a revolver in hand. As he is running , he swings his arm back with gun in hand in the direction of officer. P.O neutralizes him, P.O still in limbo. Fuck these people, no one cares,
Good???
That is an incredible stat if that is accurate. The next question is where they went after CPD
Edison Park is the worst
Try to keep up dbag 2/12/2026 06:07:12 PM
No one is bashing him... get your head out your arus.
His drunken bs you speak of his a direct result of the shooting and being dragged through the process.
You weren't at the bar and neither was I, but have heard many conflicting stories, so stfu with your "sounds like" bs.
The department had hired a bunch of clowns and from your post I see you are one of them.
Guy is a clown and liability. Nobody wanted to work with him as he multiple times reiterated that he wouldn't care if he got fired for a fun stupid thing. His father ain't much better.
Nice deflection. Let’s get back to the north side softies who get into arguments and fill out case reports against each other when they lose said argument. Learn to hold your booze you amateurs…
You know what I hate about this job? All the losers who sit here and do absolutely nothing with their careers. What’s crazy is that you have the audacity to talk shit about someone who was put in a situation you’ll never be in because you’re too much of a pussy to learn this job. The scariest thing that’s ever happened to you is being told “no” when you asked for an early duck.
No one cares about the detectives at all. Get over yourself
The other problem is the new people don’t listen; they don’t listen to their fto, they don’t listen to the veterans on the watch, the don’t listen to the veterans on their teams, and they don’t listen to their supervisors. They know everything and unfortunately learn everything the hard way.
The craft of suspending cases?
Go back to bed old timer. No need to Monday morning quarterback a justified shooting you weren’t involved with.
I still don't know how bad a shot he is.
TS was an insufferable ego maniac prior to the shooting. Every arrest was a TRR with him .. he is a ticking time bomb
Rat Detective.
Rotten trees bear rotten fruit
Why is he doing police work in 011?
I got enough time on the job. I’m going to Tommy’s tonight and I’m going to beat some ass!!!
This applies to both kids.
Now thats f’n funny !!!!!!
