Great Move

We, along with many of our readers have been suggesting this should be standard practice for years: 

• The ABC7 Chicago I-Team has learned a Chicago police officer shot in the wrist by 26-year-old Dexter Reed is countersuing the Reed estate over the injuries he suffered during the fatal 2024 traffic stop. 

His "estate" is 100% narcotics, armed robbery and welfare proceeds at this point, but his "heirs" had expected a million dollar payout - which the City Council rejected:

• Last April, the Chicago City Council rejected a $1.25 million proposal to settle the litigation. 

Get a load of this liar's lawyer's claim:

• An attorney for the Reed family said Thursday, "This counterclaim is offensive to Dexter Reed's family. These Chicago police officers targeted and unjustifiably shot and killed Dexter Reed without cause or legal justification. The result - 96 shots and yet another tragedy in our community." 

Um....he shot a cop. That's why he got shot....justifiably....and that's why the City Council finally found their testicles and realize that if they keep rewarding assholes who break the law, they're going to keep getting assholes who break the law. 

The main trouble is that you (as the plaintiff) have to come up with money out of pocket to do it, and if you're on the losing end, it's ALL on you.
