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.
