Arrr! The scallywags be firin' off nearly 100 shots in a mere 41 seconds during a skirmish in Chicago! Aye, mateys, those be some trigger-happy landlubbers causin' a ruckus on the high seas of the city streets! Aye, aye, aye!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, there be a tale of Chicago police officers firin' nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds durin' a traffic stop that left one man walkin' the plank and one officer injured, according to video footage released by a police oversight agency.A band of five officers from a tactical unit in an unmarked vessel surrounded an SUV, claimin' the driver, Dexter Reed, failed to wear a seatbelt. The Black man be seen lowerin' a window, then raisin' it and refusin' to walk the plank as more officers arrived, yellin' commands and drawin' their weapons.The oversight agency reported that Reed fired first, injurin' an officer, before four officers returned fire, shootin' 96 rounds as the battle continued even after Reed fell to the ground.The family be questionin' the authorities' account, demandin' answers as they remember Reed as a talented young man with dreams of bein' a sports broadcaster. The family's attorney be callin' for a swift investigation and better compliance from the department.The videos show a wild scene unfoldin' with profanity-laced commands, gunshots ringin' out, and Reed endin' up facedown with a trail of blood. The mayor be vowin' a full investigation, promisin' transparency in the wake of yet another young Black man's death at the hands of the law.
