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.
“Available preliminary evidence also confirms that officers returned fire approximately 96 times over a period of 41 seconds, including after Mr. Reed exited his vehicle and fell to the ground,” COPA said.

I had on local radio that the driver was stopped because of no seat belt. Driver fired at police and this happened. I believe the family is suing the city.

Did the guy have a gun before OR after or at all the police murdered him in a rage of bullets over a seat belt?

There has to be more to this story.
Officers in an unmarked car pulled someone over just for a seat belt violation? I don’t think so.
If it started as a simple traffic stop, why were there suddenly five officers present?
