Graphic bodycam footage released Tuesday revealed the chaos that unfolded when plainclothes Chicago cops fired nearly 100 gunshots during a traffic stop last month, killing one young man and leaving another injured.
Dexter Reed, 26, was killed during a March 21 traffic stop in Humboldt Park after officers in an unmarked cop car pulled him over for allegedly failing to wear a seatbelt.
The chaotic footage shows Reed rolling down the window of his SUV and then raising it before refusing to exit his vehicle as five officers scream commands and draw their weapons.
Preliminary evidence showed Reed had fired first at one officer during the shootout on West Ferdinand Street. Four other officers returned fire, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability said in a statement.

The craziest part is the impact that "song" is having on the Hip Hop community is huge. So many of them actually get it. I have watched a few reviews and after they get over the initial shock, they seem to agree with everything. It is amazing that Ben Shapiro has been broadcast into that culture and many of them agree with what he says. Who would have ever guessed that he would pick up new fans there?
