If you are a LE Professional, the inquiry is certainly not over if you conclude Reed shot first.
You have officers who pumped 96 shorts into this guy and you are trying to assess the performance of your colleagues as to whether their use of force was necessary , reasonable and proportional. One cop alone fired fifty shots into Reed and now moves on to his next encounter with the public .
This is not good.

frick off we can literally see the entire video. He fired first, there isn't even a question.

He then proceeded to fire at police 11 times before finally getting capped

Do we know the CPD's shot to hit %. It may very well indicate more range time is necessary. Seriously, 96 shots..... he should be hamburger. Let's see if the next time we can up that percentage.

Does your opinion change if what another person said, that he didn't fire just one shot, but possibly as many as seventeen, is true?

I haven't watched the video, but if the dead guy fired at police seventeen times, that was a gunfight. You keep sending rounds towards the threat until it is no longer a threat. Seventeen times he fired on police. If true, their response was reasonable.
