Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured, according to graphic video footage a police oversight agency released Tuesday.

Five officers from a tactical unit who were in an unmarked police vehicle surrounded an SUV last month driven by Dexter Reed, allegedly for failing to wear a seatbelt. Video shows the 26-year-old Black man briefly lowering a window and then raising it and refusing to exit the vehicle as more officers arrived, yelled commands and drew weapons.

    I notice that you didn’t accuse the person who claimed he fired in self defence of having psychic powers. Maybe if your bias was so blatant I wouldn’t take everything you said as a giant trolling joke.

      “You didn’t say anything to them, therefore what you said to me is not valid” is very poor reasoning.

        It would be if I’d never seen you before, but given how many times I’ve run across you, it’s pretty spot on.

          And the psychic makes another pronouncement from the spirit world.
