COPA letter reveals one officer fired at least 50 times during Dexter Reed shooting



New questions are being raised about the validity of a deadly police traffic stop that led to the death of 26-year-old Dexter Reed and a Chicago police officer being shot in the wrist last month. An internal letter from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability to Chicago Police Department Superintendent Larry Snelling was obtained by WGN News on Wednesday, revealing one officer fired at least 50 times during the March 21 traffic stop. Acquired through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the letter revealed how COPA administrators are focused in on the conduct of one specific tactical officer who fired more than four dozen shots in the exchange, including the final three shots as Reed laid motionless and unarmed on the pavement.

  2. Your so called news channel is a joke, you’ve ignored the facts and didn’t mention that Dexter shot at the police first before he was told to get the car and he refused to comply, he was not authorised to have a gun, are there bad cops?? yes, some are messed up, he gave them a reason to respond, he injured a officer and a had a lot of rounds in a magazine, the police was right, he brought this on himself, his parents have failed him, they had 15 years to have raised and trained their child not to play stupid games

  4. WGN using “the tone” like there’s a back story to an attempted cop killer getting shot by police. He shot a black police officer at a traffic stop. Who cares why they stopped the man? They obviously stopped the right person & got the felon with the firearm & rap sheet off the streets, permanently.

  5. Chicago news is soooo stupid, you shoot at a cop 👼 you are going down
. Why was Dexter Reed carrying a gun, and disobeying commands by the officer
. Starting raising up his window, I guess he forgot to go to grade school

  6. And dexter only shot 11.. wow it’s almost like if you have 5 officers surrounding you and they all have at least 10 rounds in their magazine. You’re going to have upwards of 50 plus shots..
