"Chaos Erupts After 96 Shots Fired in Deadly Chicago Police Shooting"
TL;DR
Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 rounds at Dexter Reed, a Black man, during a traffic stop for a seatbelt violation, killing him. The police watchdog agency questions the validity of the stop and the officers' use of deadly force. The released bodycam footage shows Reed resisting, firing at officers, and then being shot 96 times in 41 seconds. The family's attorneys allege the shooting was disproportionate and unconstitutional, while city officials express concern but have not indicated charges against the officers.
