Settlement Stalls
Amid heavy opposition, a City Council committee on Monday did not vote on a controversial $1.25 million settlement that would have compensated the family of Dexter Reed, who was shot to death by police officers after Reed shot and wounded one of them during a traffic stop.
“It was held. I think the majority present are ‘no’'votes,” Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) wrote in a text message to the Sun-Times.
Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st) said he, too, is “hearing” the settlement was pulled for lack of votes.
Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) has condemned the settlement for the “dangerous” message it sends to Chicago Police Department officers, His Far South Side ward is home to scores of Chicago Police officers, and O’Shea, too, is “guessing” that the settlement was held because the Johnson administration was uncertain it had the votes to pass it.
Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), the former CPD sergeant now chairing the Council’s Police Committee said he is “not sure” why the Reed settlement was held, but “I assume there are still a lot of questions and concerns that my colleagues have.”
But Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35th), Mayor Brandon Johnson’s former Council floor leader, supports the settlement and calls Monday’s development a temporary setback.
After all, the commie/progressive/anti law and order assholes are still going to push this. We can only hope that a few of them become victims of the criminals they're supporting.
And to all the shitheads like Ramirez-Rosa saying the stop never should have occurred in the first place, the proper venue to address anything "unjustified" - real or imaginary - is the Courts, not via gunfire.

It's true the stop never should've happened. Dexter should've been locked up instead of driving around with an illegally possessed weapon. If we go even further back, he never should've been born to his worthless crackwhore mother. He's dead because his mother failed him and the system failed to keep him off the streets, and his own criminal behavior caused his interaction with the police.

Courts = no guarantees who wins. Gunfire = instant 1.25 million dollars. Appears that resolution by gunfire is the way to set the fam up for life.
I got called for jury duty. As it progressed, we found out the assault charge was against a cop. Later, by accident we found it was during a traffic stop. The lawyer got to me and asked if I could be impartial. I said no, you comply with the officer during a stop, period. I am so sick of this topic in America and I don't get what's so hard about understanding it....
