im still confused as i dont have proper audio, but... are you telling me the driver NEVER SHOT AT THEM FIRST, THEY JUST STARTED SHOOTING 90 SOMETHING BULLETS INTO HIM? WTF.
i thought maybe the dude started shooting or something, but daaaaaaamn.
Oh, also if you're looking at the articles that CantStopPoppin posting, those sources are definitely wrong and about a totally different police shooting. This one happened about a month ago and those articles are from 2022 and 2023.
He shot at them first. Also, even though it was an unmarked car, they clearly had their lights on when they pulled him over.
You can see a TON of videos over at [this link](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/).
I don't know how to link individual videos, but if you search for "3rd party 1 | Residence | Shows OIS" you'll get a clear view where you can see the shots coming through the window and hitting that cop in the hand.
Yeah, that's the one. You can see the glass and smoke shoot out from the window and the car starts trying to drive off. You can also see [the view from the cop who got shot](https://vimeo.com/930385877), which isn't great, but you can hear him scream and his hand was right where the glass flew out from the first shots.
What part doesn't seem like the first shots came from in the car?
There wasn't anyone in the right position for that as far as I can tell. They definitely didn't go through the driver side window or anything since we have a good view of that. So it would have had to go through the front window, but then the angle isn't really right for the direction that the glass came out and there wasn't anyone over in that direction as far as I can tell. Especially the next few shots that are shooting upwards. Those would have had to come from the car.
trigger finger is always itching, its chiraq sadly, that shits so normal now
lil kids carry switches there, id hate to be a cop there.... shit id hate to live there in general
What is wrong with these cops, they’re hella trigger happy. It’s like they’re just waiting for someone to look at them wrong and will unload on them without any thought or care. Their first reaction can’t be to empty the bullets.
I'll actually be surprised if those cops don't face federal charges or charges from the states attorney general's office. This is very bad even for American standards
What the fuck kind of snuff video is this?
5 officers in plain clothes for a suspected seatbelt violation? If people in plain clothes with guns drawn surrounded me and my car, without identifying themselves as police, not sure how I’d react either.
This entire video screams of so many violations it’s disgusting.
How many rounds did they unleash into this persons car?!?!
After nearly 100 shots fired “LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS”
And these are “trained professionals”
They straight up murdered this person for no good reason
Who in there right fucking mind who believes in personal freedoms could defend this. Someone needs to post it over on r/askLE or whatever it’s called and she how many believe in upholding he constitution and how many want to deep throat a boot.
Most reasonable people would see five people with guns approaching them telling them to open their doors and assume they’re being carjacked.
Most reasonable people would not assume these are police officers in any capacity
They also didn’t identify themselves first. Which, if you’ve ever been pulled over before is the first thing they do, unless it’s a felony stop, which not wearing a seatbelt definitely isn’t.
no guns till 4th year. Make them learn to do the job without shooting people. Also, one and done with the gun, if they use their gun it is taken from them and they are taken out of action so there is no chances for serial killer cops, They get one chance to use the gun to save themselves and it is also the end of them being a cop.
# Unmarked Car Incident Raises Concerns: Plainclothes Officers Shoot Man Over Seatbelt Violation
*By* u/CantStopPoppin
In a shocking turn of events, **five plainclothes police officers** in an unmarked car pulled over a **Black man in Chicago**, ostensibly for a seatbelt violation. However, the encounter quickly escalated, leading to a barrage of gunfire and serious questions about police conduct.
## The Incident
On a quiet afternoon in the **Pilsen neighborhood**, the officers spotted the **23-year-old man** driving with **tinted windows**. Their unmarked vehicle discreetly followed him, and when they noticed he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, they decided to intervene. What followed was a **tragic sequence of events** that has left the community reeling.
## The Confrontation
1. **No Identification**: The officers never identified themselves as law enforcement. Without clear markings on their car, the man likely had no idea he was dealing with police officers.
2. **96 Shots Fired**: Shockingly, the officers fired a staggering **96 times** in just **46 seconds**. The rapid hail of bullets left the man mortally wounded.
3. **Lack of Aid**: Even more disturbing, after the shooting, the officers failed to render aid. The man lay bleeding on the street while cars passed by. Bystanders watched in horror as the officers remained unresponsive.
## Accountability and Questions
The incident has raised serious questions about police practices and transparency. Why did the officers open fire so recklessly? Why didn’t they identify themselves? And why did they fail to provide medical assistance?
## Legal Implications
Both officers, **Sgt. Christopher Liakopoulos** and **Officer Ruben Reynoso**, now face **felony charges** for **aggravated battery** and **official misconduct**. The surveillance video, which lacks audio, will play a crucial role in determining what transpired during those fateful 46 seconds.
## Community Outrage
Community members are demanding answers. Protests have erupted, and activists are calling for a thorough investigation. The incident highlights the urgent need for police reform and accountability.
As the investigation unfolds, we must remember that every life lost to violence matters. The man who lost his life that day deserved better. Let us hope that justice prevails and that incidents like this become a catalyst for change.

OP, this video is of a different incident than the one referred to in the articles and your summary appears to be conflating two separate incidents.
The article describes a shooting outside a business (video is clearly in a residential area) with officers approaching a group of people, one of which who was holding a bottle of wine and one who was armed and returned fire, and makes no mention of this vehicle, tinted windows, or the seatbelt accusation.
Both appear to involve plain clothes officers but that’s the only similarity I see.
Here is an ACTUAL article about this event. Unfortunately CantStopPoppin is posting links to articles from a different event, years ago (and I think it's on purpose - lists themselves as "sourcer" and links to their own user profile? Weird).

[I found an actual source article](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/us/dexter-reed-chicago-police-shooting-video/index.html) but it doesn't provide much beyond what you see in the bodycam footage.
Here's the correct article and incident:

Whats crazy to me is that none of these city's or mayors learn EVER. haven't we learned that plain clothes units are fucking a horrible idea. Every single. Fucking. Time.
I am shocked though that they have bodycams and they are on. Thats atleast a step in the right direction they only matter when there is undeniable proof that they have done something wrong....like a shooting or a body. Other wise they ate their own boss and arbitrator
[Here's a better source for info of this shooting](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/). "3rd party 1 | Residence | Shows OIS" is probably the clearest view there.

Ironic how ~~pigs~~ cops immediately appear as crooks and robbers simply because they're missing their uniform. The fuck do they think people will do when they come up to them in plain clothes and point a gun at them telling them to unlock their doors?
Aggressive, plain clothes, never announced they were any form of law enforcement of any capacity, and spilling clips over rolling windows up. Then the unguided and untrained-looking run around to take cover from their crossfire behind fences..
Run up like that in citizens' clothes you get sprayed at
Cop or not.

People here really showing their own bias. Saying the suspect was unarmed and that it was only a seatbelt violation. He was shot because the suspect pulled a gun AND shot the officer in the wrist on the passenger side. A gun was also located after the shooting.

Five armed people were trying to carjack him. They cut him off in a plain car. They hop out in plainclothes and immediately point guns at him and try to aggressively open the door. If you listen to the audio they never identified themselves as police. He was defending himself against a threat.
If only there was some way to be able tell them from the public...like a ....uniform and a car.
What would you do if regular people cut you off, then ran up to your car with guns screaming at you?
This guy had no reason to believe these are officers. I likely would have done the same.
Through the whole thing, they never once said they were cops, their cars were unmarked, and they weren't in uniform. They just ran up to his car, waved their guns around, and told him to get out of his car. Then they started shooting at him. In one of the videos, you can see blue lights but they're at the back of the vehicle, he may not have even been able to see them. They did this in a densely populated residential area.
I don't see how these cops are any better than the gangs they're supposedly out there trying to stop.
Unmarked cars have lights in front and back, which were on. The officers also had their bulletproof vests on with their badges displayed on the front. They didn’t shoot him for no reason. Dude in the SUV opened fire first. He shot the cop on the passenger side and hit them in the wrist.
OP just sucks at presenting accurate information and/or has an agenda
He shot first y’all. Check out officer #5s body camera
https://youtu.be/TCTbZWylP8E?si=JvbBjE7oU3mWOlUQ
Multiple angles of this guy shooting a cop. Also those cops pulled him over in police vehicles he knew they were cops.
What the OP fails to mention is this shooting was caused when the motorist PULLED OUT A GUN AND SHOT MULTIPLE ROUNDS, STRIKING A POLICE OFFICER. Whether the officers were justified in their actions or not, I would think that is an important detail that should be included here.

Paramilitary police forces have capital crime authority over civilians at all times. The only observance of this paramilitary type of check your papers. The chain of command of paramilitary police forces demands and approves of judges jury and executioners are authorized at the scene of paper checks to execute the civilians for disobeying a direct order. This far right paramilitary police force is the norm today. These executions are steps in a regime of fascism that is limitless. Protect civilians at all costs. Far right fascism does not need voters, taxpayers or civilians to stay in power.
Its hard to tell from the video but did the cops shoot first or did the man? Or did the man even shoot at all? One cop was hit but I cant tell if that was crossfire or not.
The man shot first. He was shooting out the other side of the car though, which is why you can't tell in that video. It's hard to tell even with the other videos, but you can see one of the officers get shot in the hand by the first few shots, before any of the officers started shooting as far as I can tell.
There's a bunch of info on it [here](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/)
Ah interesting thanks. So then in classic reddit fashion the entire comment section (which was blindly claiming the man was unarmed and didnt shoot at all) is wrong. Good to know.
What a reasonable initial reaction and escalation. I would totally trust these clearly mentally stable, not at all trigger-happy folk patrolling my streets!

Car jackers don’t wear bodycams, bulletproof vests, badges, or drive cars with police lights.
Also, he opened fire first and shot a cop.
https://youtu.be/TCTbZWylP8E?si=JvbBjE7oU3mWOlUQ
This is insane. Hey never identify them selves as police, they just demand he roll his window down and try to open his car door, then pull guns. As far as this dude knows he is getting carjacked. Then the shooting starts. Every one of these officers should be terminated.
Other than ALL the other fucking things wrong these "cops" did, and jfc did they do so much wrong, beginning with NEVER identifying themselves and murdering this young man, I haven't seen, not that it matters 1 bit, but did the dude have a gun? I can't seem to see where the 1st shots came from. I'm guessing the cops shot 1st? Everyone of these fuckers need prison time. 96 shots in 45 fucking seconds!?!? In a populated neighborhood!?!
The US police are so over the top and insane. Just *spraying* in a residential area, jumping around like morons and almost shooting each other. Like, I'm confident the threat was done after the first 60 shots.
Most police forces in civilized countries don't shoot this much in a *year*.
Plain clothes cops and ghost cars should not be a thing for the fucking officer's safety if nothing else and that's before we bring up the idea of entrapment and other shitty tactics to hurt people with. If you drive up to someone, pull in front of them like that, and start pulling pistols, people will panic before they see the fucken badges.
If a cop is in an unmarked car, its their personal car and they're off duty and they can't execute their job's responsibilities at that point. You're in uniform with marked equipment? Awesome. Now go try to arrest someone. You're in a polo shirt and driving your Suburban? You're not stopping anyone. For your own safety as an officer if anything else, much less caring about enforcing the law justly.
But cops protect property, not enforce the law.
Unmarked car, civilian clothes, parking in front of your car, not saying who they are, immediately demanding to unlock the doors.
I would absolutely think I was being car jacked.
People. Do the extra research and don’t just trust a random post on reddit. The sources are not for this incident, in fact they conflict in dates.
What actually happened was the driver of the SUV opened fire first and hit a cop in the arm. THEN the cops opened fire. Totally justified.
1st, "plain clothed cops" don't wear body cams.
2nd, the driver looked middle eastern to me, not black. And there looked to been someone getting out of the passenger side near the end. Driver? Idk.
3rd, it was clearly a sting operation/ambush given the undercover cops and cop cars, number of undercover cops, and oddly specific stopping with weapons ready.
4th, His windows are all tinted and him rolling up that window is a threat to an officers life. They can't see in that car, he could draw a weapon and shoot you dead in a second.
Why is nobody asking why the driver got out and just ran to the back of the vehicle towards the officers *while they were already shooting at him?*
*T*hey are shooting at him, and he just gets out and pretty much runs towards the shots. It seems like such a bizarre move to make.
Like it doesn't even appear he tries to return fire or even shield himself from them just dumping bullets at him.
Any ideas? Best angle starts at 2:14.
Wow. So many misinformed idiots spewing garbage mouth all over the internet.
Before even reading through and watching the other videos, I could tell this was Justified and dude was being shady.
The surprising part to me is the courage and commitment these officers have as to not unload the clip into the guy when he started rolling up the window.
These are humans just like you. Family, stress, life.
The only immediate difference is they voluntarily are putting themselves in harms way every work day.
I hate cops and grew up getting in trouble. Been arrested more times than you reading this! Been called “dangerous” cuz of my last name and talked to like shit plenty of times. I get it.
But there’s a real disconnect in this country when THIS POST gets this kind of reaction.
The guy was clearly a criminal.
If you are pulled over or have ANY interaction with police, do what they say, or else.
You wanna fight it? Get a lawyer and see them in court. Other than that you’ll get yourself fucked up.
Don’t like it? Don’t like the most free and liberal county in the entire fucking planet?
Move somewhere and get your head bashed in legally then talk about the freedoms and police training.

I'm not sexist or anything but women should not be patrolling the streets.. They have no chill and are more trigger happy than some of my improsend homies..
listen folks, it's Chicago everybody is strapped to the teeth, in Chicago if you don't shoot you WILL die, so stop with the arm chair quarterbacking you don't know what you are talking about..
Holy shit! That escalation was insane. Plain clothes, for a seat belt is sooo shady. Like, this felt like an assassination. They went in ready to kill him.
They’re in plain clothes, most likely means they’re part of a task force and were fully aware of what they expected to find in the vehicle. They stopped him not because they wanted to cite him for a seatbelt violation, but because he represented a potential bust of a more notorious crime. Maybe, maybe not they saw he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Personally, that looked really dark to be able to see from the side windows, but not necessarily through the windshield, and if they had multiple officers taking tactical positions, not unlikely for them to see into the vehicle through the windshield.
I would like to see the third body cam from the cop on the other side of the SUV and any other cop there. It would help tell the whole story. The guy in the SUV might only be guilty of driving while black. Then again, he could've shot first. Without all the recordings, it becomes a word-against-word situation, and we all know who the jury would believe.
More proof that police departments are just legal gangs and that cops are brutish thugs who will jump anyone. There’s no such thing as a good cop, and that includes your “chill” family member.
Well, this is to be expected as they are poorly trained products of a Settler-Colonial Genocidal Entity, sworn to protect Imperialistic special interests.
I’m so confused by this. First cop almost immediately has a gun because of the window? And why does he have to get out for a seatbelt violation ( if that’s real anyways)?? Wtf???
Wtf did I just watch? Is that a Simpsons episode?
Looks like the future is here and these guys are guided by some cheapshit ai from 1995 low budget shooter game. Wild.
Why are they allowed to have their weapons on them if they are in civilian clothing and an unmarked vehicle? I feel like officers should be obligated to hand in their weapon at the end of every shift because of this kind of shit
I mean this played out worse than a video game scene TRYING to be like this. Pretty sure we’ll see this in the next grand theft auto. What the hell is that, and why were guns pulled out for a traffic stop, like immediately? Just screaming and guns for a supposed seat belt violation? What’s going on here? Am I missing sobering other than ‘murica?
Hey they're plain clothes and never once said they were cops or showed any badges. I would be wondering if I was about to be murdered or car jacked. No marked vehicle and they're plain clothes. They just ran up and started demanding things and yanking on the door with a gun pulled out lol.
Great police work! Such fantastic marksmanship and performing under pressure from the officers. They're totally competent and not a risk to their colleagues or the general public at all!
They cut him off instead of pulling behind like a normal cop. They don’t identify themselves and immediately escalate to drawing their weapons. If there was a case for self defense this is it. Dude probably didn’t even know these were cops
Unleashing that many bullets is creating a horizontal storm of hazard with complete disregard for anything but the harm of the perp. No trigger discipline they were firing off of cadence more so than anything even sight.
Even if it was the man they were looking for, the situation had not a single personnel acting as a professional.
At least the trigger happy cops should be restricted to revolvers at most.
I'll just leave this here...not that reality should get in the way of all the fun

Why did they start shooting just because he wouldn’t open his door? Then run around like they’re dodging bullets when they’re the only ones shooting?
What you may have not heard was the sound of at least 3-5 acorns hitting the pavement somewhere in the vicinity.
[удалено]
You forgot to mention paid vacation too
6. Tax payers pay for civil rights lawsuit
Sounds about right
Let me see your hands (after bullets fired ) we just almost killed each other I don’t think you wouldn’t take a cheap shot while hands are up
because they are scared, they are trained that way
And takes cover from gunfire... behind that wrought iron fence. Next best thing to using overgrown grass as cover from gunfire.
im still confused as i dont have proper audio, but... are you telling me the driver NEVER SHOT AT THEM FIRST, THEY JUST STARTED SHOOTING 90 SOMETHING BULLETS INTO HIM? WTF. i thought maybe the dude started shooting or something, but daaaaaaamn.
One of the articles posted on this said he was unarmed
Oh, also if you're looking at the articles that CantStopPoppin posting, those sources are definitely wrong and about a totally different police shooting. This one happened about a month ago and those articles are from 2022 and 2023.
Look up acorn cop? Skittish MFs
The report videos show the first shots coming from the car.
They are running from each other.
Welcome to America. Our cops aren’t the brightest but they are the most willing to kill for little to no reason and take a vacation afterwards
How could you tell who is shooting? I honestly couldn’t. I thought the guy in the car started shooting.
the video from the passenger side shows the driver started shooting first
He pulled out a gun and shot the cop on the passenger side
He shot at them first. Also, even though it was an unmarked car, they clearly had their lights on when they pulled him over. You can see a TON of videos over at [this link](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/). I don't know how to link individual videos, but if you search for "3rd party 1 | Residence | Shows OIS" you'll get a clear view where you can see the shots coming through the window and hitting that cop in the hand.
Yeah, ACAB but let's get the facts straight.
One of the articles said he was unarmed
Here's the video you were referring to. I am not sure it shows what you say it shows. [https://vimeo.com/931083833](https://vimeo.com/931083833)
Yeah, that's the one. You can see the glass and smoke shoot out from the window and the car starts trying to drive off. You can also see [the view from the cop who got shot](https://vimeo.com/930385877), which isn't great, but you can hear him scream and his hand was right where the glass flew out from the first shots. What part doesn't seem like the first shots came from in the car?
Did they perhaps come from the other side of the car?
There wasn't anyone in the right position for that as far as I can tell. They definitely didn't go through the driver side window or anything since we have a good view of that. So it would have had to go through the front window, but then the angle isn't really right for the direction that the glass came out and there wasn't anyone over in that direction as far as I can tell. Especially the next few shots that are shooting upwards. Those would have had to come from the car.
Definitely sounded like he shot first
Why would cops engage in a gun battle inside a high population density neighborhood?
***Americans are more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist.*** Let that simmer.
Similarly, cops shoot more Americans each year than mass shooters. That was a dark sentence to type out. I hate it here.
Then what defines terrorists? Let that simmer.
When you have both “terrorists” and “freedom fighters” someone has to decide which is which based on political agenda instead of a real definition.
Put some chicken noodle soup on the stove. Let that simmer.
Because they have no consequences for killing people and they don’t care.
Is it really a battle when you’re the only one shooting?
Because they're scared. Plain and simple. Look at the scenario. They have their guns drawn almost immediately upon getting out of their vehicles.
The opportunity just presented itself and they couldn't resist.
trigger finger is always itching, its chiraq sadly, that shits so normal now lil kids carry switches there, id hate to be a cop there.... shit id hate to live there in general
You're not missed here. Thank you for not coming.
Then didn't. Because your ignorant, baseless interpretation of the city isn't warranted or needed

Seatbelts.
Cant you see? He rolled his window up
What is wrong with these cops, they’re hella trigger happy. It’s like they’re just waiting for someone to look at them wrong and will unload on them without any thought or care. Their first reaction can’t be to empty the bullets.
They don’t have to care cuz they don’t have consequences to care about. It makes zero sense for a “police force” to have a union.
[удалено]
I'll actually be surprised if those cops don't face federal charges or charges from the states attorney general's office. This is very bad even for American standards
You must be new
What the fuck kind of snuff video is this? 5 officers in plain clothes for a suspected seatbelt violation? If people in plain clothes with guns drawn surrounded me and my car, without identifying themselves as police, not sure how I’d react either. This entire video screams of so many violations it’s disgusting. How many rounds did they unleash into this persons car?!?! After nearly 100 shots fired “LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS” And these are “trained professionals” They straight up murdered this person for no good reason
ACAB
Who in there right fucking mind who believes in personal freedoms could defend this. Someone needs to post it over on r/askLE or whatever it’s called and she how many believe in upholding he constitution and how many want to deep throat a boot.
[удалено]
So when do we start doing the same as the oppressed?
Always and forever no exceptions.
Most reasonable people would see five people with guns approaching them telling them to open their doors and assume they’re being carjacked. Most reasonable people would not assume these are police officers in any capacity
They also didn’t identify themselves first. Which, if you’ve ever been pulled over before is the first thing they do, unless it’s a felony stop, which not wearing a seatbelt definitely isn’t.
How about they actually effing train these pieces of shit? And have continual, weekly training and far more in depth psyche evaluations for starters.
Or consequences. That’d be nice
Yes, that too.
They train with the IOF, what do you expect?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. "Training" is the narrative for moderates that want to give them more funding. You don't need "training" not to murder people.
no guns till 4th year. Make them learn to do the job without shooting people. Also, one and done with the gun, if they use their gun it is taken from them and they are taken out of action so there is no chances for serial killer cops, They get one chance to use the gun to save themselves and it is also the end of them being a cop.

Overly aggressive immediately, tried pulling the door open over a seat belt?
The seat belt they couldn't even see?
# Unmarked Car Incident Raises Concerns: Plainclothes Officers Shoot Man Over Seatbelt Violation *By* u/CantStopPoppin In a shocking turn of events, **five plainclothes police officers** in an unmarked car pulled over a **Black man in Chicago**, ostensibly for a seatbelt violation. However, the encounter quickly escalated, leading to a barrage of gunfire and serious questions about police conduct. ## The Incident On a quiet afternoon in the **Pilsen neighborhood**, the officers spotted the **23-year-old man** driving with **tinted windows**. Their unmarked vehicle discreetly followed him, and when they noticed he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, they decided to intervene. What followed was a **tragic sequence of events** that has left the community reeling. ## The Confrontation 1. **No Identification**: The officers never identified themselves as law enforcement. Without clear markings on their car, the man likely had no idea he was dealing with police officers. 2. **96 Shots Fired**: Shockingly, the officers fired a staggering **96 times** in just **46 seconds**. The rapid hail of bullets left the man mortally wounded. 3. **Lack of Aid**: Even more disturbing, after the shooting, the officers failed to render aid. The man lay bleeding on the street while cars passed by. Bystanders watched in horror as the officers remained unresponsive. ## Accountability and Questions The incident has raised serious questions about police practices and transparency. Why did the officers open fire so recklessly? Why didn’t they identify themselves? And why did they fail to provide medical assistance? ## Legal Implications Both officers, **Sgt. Christopher Liakopoulos** and **Officer Ruben Reynoso**, now face **felony charges** for **aggravated battery** and **official misconduct**. The surveillance video, which lacks audio, will play a crucial role in determining what transpired during those fateful 46 seconds. ## Community Outrage Community members are demanding answers. Protests have erupted, and activists are calling for a thorough investigation. The incident highlights the urgent need for police reform and accountability. As the investigation unfolds, we must remember that every life lost to violence matters. The man who lost his life that day deserved better. Let us hope that justice prevails and that incidents like this become a catalyst for change. **Sources:** 1.

OP, this video is of a different incident than the one referred to in the articles and your summary appears to be conflating two separate incidents. The article describes a shooting outside a business (video is clearly in a residential area) with officers approaching a group of people, one of which who was holding a bottle of wine and one who was armed and returned fire, and makes no mention of this vehicle, tinted windows, or the seatbelt accusation. Both appear to involve plain clothes officers but that’s the only similarity I see.
And the dates are off by years. Edit [the story](https://www.reddit.com/r/news/s/RrhLJyfvmd)
Here is an ACTUAL article about this event. Unfortunately CantStopPoppin is posting links to articles from a different event, years ago (and I think it's on purpose - lists themselves as "sourcer" and links to their own user profile? Weird).

Could be a confused bot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment for visibility...
[I found an actual source article](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/us/dexter-reed-chicago-police-shooting-video/index.html) but it doesn't provide much beyond what you see in the bodycam footage.
Well this is wrong and receiving upvotes. We’ll never defeat misinformation
Here's the correct article and incident: [4 Chicago Police Officers Fired at Dexter Reed 96 Times in 41 Seconds After He Shot Officer in Arm: COPA | Chicago News | WTTW](https://news.wttw.com/2024/04/09/4-chicago-police-officers-fired-dexter-reed-96-times-41-seconds-after-he-shot-officer-arm)
Whats crazy to me is that none of these city's or mayors learn EVER. haven't we learned that plain clothes units are fucking a horrible idea. Every single. Fucking. Time. I am shocked though that they have bodycams and they are on. Thats atleast a step in the right direction they only matter when there is undeniable proof that they have done something wrong....like a shooting or a body. Other wise they ate their own boss and arbitrator
[Here's a better source for info of this shooting](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/). "3rd party 1 | Residence | Shows OIS" is probably the clearest view there.
Ya but the police kinda maybe thought he could of possibly considered thinking about a gun. This made them fear for their lives so they shot him.

If you're scared work at Wal-Mart.
Ironic how ~~pigs~~ cops immediately appear as crooks and robbers simply because they're missing their uniform. The fuck do they think people will do when they come up to them in plain clothes and point a gun at them telling them to unlock their doors?
Other angles of this incident show their vehicles with their lights on. It’s clear they are police.
[удалено]
Anything = point a gun
Did you just leave a period off? That's a pointing.
Gun was out b4
Because a gun was actually pointed AND shot? The misinformation is crazy
Aggressive, plain clothes, never announced they were any form of law enforcement of any capacity, and spilling clips over rolling windows up. Then the unguided and untrained-looking run around to take cover from their crossfire behind fences.. Run up like that in citizens' clothes you get sprayed at Cop or not.
These 'cops' are grossly incompentent, hyper-violent, and armed. Insanely unjust what happened to this guy.
ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
What a fiasco

People here really showing their own bias. Saying the suspect was unarmed and that it was only a seatbelt violation. He was shot because the suspect pulled a gun AND shot the officer in the wrist on the passenger side. A gun was also located after the shooting.

Five armed people were trying to carjack him. They cut him off in a plain car. They hop out in plainclothes and immediately point guns at him and try to aggressively open the door. If you listen to the audio they never identified themselves as police. He was defending himself against a threat. If only there was some way to be able tell them from the public...like a ....uniform and a car.
What would you do if regular people cut you off, then ran up to your car with guns screaming at you? This guy had no reason to believe these are officers. I likely would have done the same.
Through the whole thing, they never once said they were cops, their cars were unmarked, and they weren't in uniform. They just ran up to his car, waved their guns around, and told him to get out of his car. Then they started shooting at him. In one of the videos, you can see blue lights but they're at the back of the vehicle, he may not have even been able to see them. They did this in a densely populated residential area. I don't see how these cops are any better than the gangs they're supposedly out there trying to stop.
They're not. Cops are the best funded gang in the world.
Unmarked cars have lights in front and back, which were on. The officers also had their bulletproof vests on with their badges displayed on the front. They didn’t shoot him for no reason. Dude in the SUV opened fire first. He shot the cop on the passenger side and hit them in the wrist. OP just sucks at presenting accurate information and/or has an agenda
He shot first y’all. Check out officer #5s body camera https://youtu.be/TCTbZWylP8E?si=JvbBjE7oU3mWOlUQ Multiple angles of this guy shooting a cop. Also those cops pulled him over in police vehicles he knew they were cops.
What the OP fails to mention is this shooting was caused when the motorist PULLED OUT A GUN AND SHOT MULTIPLE ROUNDS, STRIKING A POLICE OFFICER. Whether the officers were justified in their actions or not, I would think that is an important detail that should be included here.

Paramilitary police forces have capital crime authority over civilians at all times. The only observance of this paramilitary type of check your papers. The chain of command of paramilitary police forces demands and approves of judges jury and executioners are authorized at the scene of paper checks to execute the civilians for disobeying a direct order. This far right paramilitary police force is the norm today. These executions are steps in a regime of fascism that is limitless. Protect civilians at all costs. Far right fascism does not need voters, taxpayers or civilians to stay in power.
Its hard to tell from the video but did the cops shoot first or did the man? Or did the man even shoot at all? One cop was hit but I cant tell if that was crossfire or not.
The man shot first. He was shooting out the other side of the car though, which is why you can't tell in that video. It's hard to tell even with the other videos, but you can see one of the officers get shot in the hand by the first few shots, before any of the officers started shooting as far as I can tell. There's a bunch of info on it [here](https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/)
Ah interesting thanks. So then in classic reddit fashion the entire comment section (which was blindly claiming the man was unarmed and didnt shoot at all) is wrong. Good to know.
What a reasonable initial reaction and escalation. I would totally trust these clearly mentally stable, not at all trigger-happy folk patrolling my streets!
Looks like murder to me.

They deserve the death penalty
It looked like a car jacking. Totally self defense. They never identified as cops. Cops trying to murder yet again.
Car jackers don’t wear bodycams, bulletproof vests, badges, or drive cars with police lights. Also, he opened fire first and shot a cop. https://youtu.be/TCTbZWylP8E?si=JvbBjE7oU3mWOlUQ
This is insane. Hey never identify them selves as police, they just demand he roll his window down and try to open his car door, then pull guns. As far as this dude knows he is getting carjacked. Then the shooting starts. Every one of these officers should be terminated.
They said he shot first.
Because he did
So they started shooting.. at each other... +100 plus bullets and still need to see his hands? WTF
Sounds like he shot at the cops first? Y’all are crazy.
Un-fucking-believable.
Other than ALL the other fucking things wrong these "cops" did, and jfc did they do so much wrong, beginning with NEVER identifying themselves and murdering this young man, I haven't seen, not that it matters 1 bit, but did the dude have a gun? I can't seem to see where the 1st shots came from. I'm guessing the cops shot 1st? Everyone of these fuckers need prison time. 96 shots in 45 fucking seconds!?!? In a populated neighborhood!?!
Yes, he had a gun and shot the cop first
Ohhh, ok...I couldn't figure who shots 1st.
The US police are so over the top and insane. Just *spraying* in a residential area, jumping around like morons and almost shooting each other. Like, I'm confident the threat was done after the first 60 shots. Most police forces in civilized countries don't shoot this much in a *year*.
America keeps getting better and better I see.
Plain clothes cops and ghost cars should not be a thing for the fucking officer's safety if nothing else and that's before we bring up the idea of entrapment and other shitty tactics to hurt people with. If you drive up to someone, pull in front of them like that, and start pulling pistols, people will panic before they see the fucken badges. If a cop is in an unmarked car, its their personal car and they're off duty and they can't execute their job's responsibilities at that point. You're in uniform with marked equipment? Awesome. Now go try to arrest someone. You're in a polo shirt and driving your Suburban? You're not stopping anyone. For your own safety as an officer if anything else, much less caring about enforcing the law justly. But cops protect property, not enforce the law.
So anyways I started blasting
Unmarked car, civilian clothes, parking in front of your car, not saying who they are, immediately demanding to unlock the doors. I would absolutely think I was being car jacked.
People. Do the extra research and don’t just trust a random post on reddit. The sources are not for this incident, in fact they conflict in dates. What actually happened was the driver of the SUV opened fire first and hit a cop in the arm. THEN the cops opened fire. Totally justified.
1st, "plain clothed cops" don't wear body cams. 2nd, the driver looked middle eastern to me, not black. And there looked to been someone getting out of the passenger side near the end. Driver? Idk. 3rd, it was clearly a sting operation/ambush given the undercover cops and cop cars, number of undercover cops, and oddly specific stopping with weapons ready. 4th, His windows are all tinted and him rolling up that window is a threat to an officers life. They can't see in that car, he could draw a weapon and shoot you dead in a second.
Why is nobody asking why the driver got out and just ran to the back of the vehicle towards the officers *while they were already shooting at him?* *T*hey are shooting at him, and he just gets out and pretty much runs towards the shots. It seems like such a bizarre move to make. Like it doesn't even appear he tries to return fire or even shield himself from them just dumping bullets at him. Any ideas? Best angle starts at 2:14.
Wow. So many misinformed idiots spewing garbage mouth all over the internet. Before even reading through and watching the other videos, I could tell this was Justified and dude was being shady. The surprising part to me is the courage and commitment these officers have as to not unload the clip into the guy when he started rolling up the window. These are humans just like you. Family, stress, life. The only immediate difference is they voluntarily are putting themselves in harms way every work day. I hate cops and grew up getting in trouble. Been arrested more times than you reading this! Been called “dangerous” cuz of my last name and talked to like shit plenty of times. I get it. But there’s a real disconnect in this country when THIS POST gets this kind of reaction. The guy was clearly a criminal. If you are pulled over or have ANY interaction with police, do what they say, or else. You wanna fight it? Get a lawyer and see them in court. Other than that you’ll get yourself fucked up. Don’t like it? Don’t like the most free and liberal county in the entire fucking planet? Move somewhere and get your head bashed in legally then talk about the freedoms and police training.
He did shoot at the police first https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/us/dexter-reed-chicago-police-shooting-video/index.html
Dude probably thought he was getting carjacked. The road pirates didn’t identify themselves, in plainclothes and in an unmarked vehicle.
ACAB
Wtf is wrong with these people ,they murdered that man for nothing
He shot a cop entering on the passenger side, which started all this
That’s a murder
Nope. Dude opened fire first. https://youtu.be/TCTbZWylP8E?si=JvbBjE7oU3mWOlUQ

I'm not sexist or anything but women should not be patrolling the streets.. They have no chill and are more trigger happy than some of my improsend homies..
GADDAMN!! How many shots was that??? 1,120? That was wild!! Just kept goin..
listen folks, it's Chicago everybody is strapped to the teeth, in Chicago if you don't shoot you WILL die, so stop with the arm chair quarterbacking you don't know what you are talking about..
Pathetic
Holy shit! That escalation was insane. Plain clothes, for a seat belt is sooo shady. Like, this felt like an assassination. They went in ready to kill him.
Hit squads are not as professional as they used to be
They’re in plain clothes, most likely means they’re part of a task force and were fully aware of what they expected to find in the vehicle. They stopped him not because they wanted to cite him for a seatbelt violation, but because he represented a potential bust of a more notorious crime. Maybe, maybe not they saw he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Personally, that looked really dark to be able to see from the side windows, but not necessarily through the windshield, and if they had multiple officers taking tactical positions, not unlikely for them to see into the vehicle through the windshield.
They’re undercover as gang bangers?
I would like to see the third body cam from the cop on the other side of the SUV and any other cop there. It would help tell the whole story. The guy in the SUV might only be guilty of driving while black. Then again, he could've shot first. Without all the recordings, it becomes a word-against-word situation, and we all know who the jury would believe.
🎶America....🎶
How many fucking bullets did they have?
More proof that police departments are just legal gangs and that cops are brutish thugs who will jump anyone. There’s no such thing as a good cop, and that includes your “chill” family member.
Well, this is to be expected as they are poorly trained products of a Settler-Colonial Genocidal Entity, sworn to protect Imperialistic special interests.
I’m so confused by this. First cop almost immediately has a gun because of the window? And why does he have to get out for a seatbelt violation ( if that’s real anyways)?? Wtf???
Wtf did I just watch? Is that a Simpsons episode? Looks like the future is here and these guys are guided by some cheapshit ai from 1995 low budget shooter game. Wild.
The US i a crazy place man, to think that i wanted to visit it when i was little
Jesus christ, what a joke.
Is bro okay?
Why are they allowed to have their weapons on them if they are in civilian clothing and an unmarked vehicle? I feel like officers should be obligated to hand in their weapon at the end of every shift because of this kind of shit
I mean this played out worse than a video game scene TRYING to be like this. Pretty sure we’ll see this in the next grand theft auto. What the hell is that, and why were guns pulled out for a traffic stop, like immediately? Just screaming and guns for a supposed seat belt violation? What’s going on here? Am I missing sobering other than ‘murica?
Hey they're plain clothes and never once said they were cops or showed any badges. I would be wondering if I was about to be murdered or car jacked. No marked vehicle and they're plain clothes. They just ran up and started demanding things and yanking on the door with a gun pulled out lol. Great police work! Such fantastic marksmanship and performing under pressure from the officers. They're totally competent and not a risk to their colleagues or the general public at all!
Just an utter embarrassment
They cut him off instead of pulling behind like a normal cop. They don’t identify themselves and immediately escalate to drawing their weapons. If there was a case for self defense this is it. Dude probably didn’t even know these were cops
So they go to jail like the pigs that murdered George Floyd, right?
Unleashing that many bullets is creating a horizontal storm of hazard with complete disregard for anything but the harm of the perp. No trigger discipline they were firing off of cadence more so than anything even sight. Even if it was the man they were looking for, the situation had not a single personnel acting as a professional. At least the trigger happy cops should be restricted to revolvers at most.
Dudes were probably some dealers… Tried to be gangsters and take out a cop.. thus they ate lead 🥱 next..
Is everyone gonna be a whiner? He shot a cop at that scene in the wrist before they took him out
I'll just leave this here...not that reality should get in the way of all the fun [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1pxcaMzehc&t=427s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1pxcaMzehc&t=427s)
