Family of man killed when Chicago police fired 96 times during traffic stop file wrongful death suit
CHICAGO (AP) — The family of a Chicago man killed when plainclothes police officers fired their guns nearly 100 times during a traffic stop filed a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday, accusing the department of “brutally violent” policing tactics.
The 81-page federal complaint alleges the officers violated multiple laws and police department policies during the “predatory, violent, unlawful traffic stop” on March 21 that left 26-year-old Dexter Reed dead.
------------------------------------------------------------
According to their early findings, Reed fired first. Then officers returned fire, shooting 96 times in 41 seconds, according to COPA. Reed was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The suit, which does not mention investigators' finding that Reed shot first, names the city of Chicago, the police department and the five officers involved.
-----------------------------------------------------------
In 2021, Reed was shot during a “family altercation” that caused severe injuries and required extensive rehabilitation, according to the family's attorney, Andrew M. Stroth.
After that, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, which affected his ability “to work, process information and to communicate” and influenced how he responded to police, according to the lawsuit.
Police records show, Reed was also facing felony gun charges from a July 2023 arrest when he was killed. Stroth declined to discuss the gun charges, calling them irrelevant to the lawsuit.

Anything over 95 shots is clearly excessive

Why did your officers shoot 96 times?
Because we ran out of bullets.

There was a case years ago I think in Alabama. Perp shot and killed a cop. A group of cops hunted for him in a forest. They saw him behind a fallen tree and yelled: 'Come out with your hands up!' Two seconds later they opened fire. He was hit 40 times and died.
A reporter later asked the chief: 'Why did you shoot him 40 times?'
Chief: 'We ran out of bullets.'

I recall going dove hunting as a kid. You got a box of shells. If you couldn't limit-out on 25, you didn't deserve any more ammo.
96?
Damn bros. You suck at shooting.

Not only did he fire first, but he shot a black Cop. After that the Cops unloaded (with at least 2 of the shooting Cops being black). They are going to have a hard time bringing race into this.

Too bad a GAU-8 is too big to mount on a police cruiser.

It is time for the police to counter sue. This moron shot at them first.

You shoot until you dump the magazine.
The guy was surrounded by a bunch of cops. He committed suicide.
