Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured last month
Omar Jimenez and Holly Yan, CNNPlainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and an officer injuredNewly released bodycam footage reveals the mayhem that unfolded in a residential neighborhood when Chicago police fired as many as 96 bullets toward a man during a traffic stop, killing the 26-year-old and raising questions about whether officers used excessive force.
Across the country, police bodycam footage has played an increasing role in raising awareness and understanding about officer-involved shootings. "Roll the window down. Roll the window down," the officer tells the driver. The driver initially rolled his window down but then kept rolling it back up.The officer pulls on the driver's door handle - which appears to be locked - and then draws a gun. "Unlock the doors now! Unlock the doors now!" the officer screams as another officer shouts the same demands.Seconds later, as the officer retreats from the vehicle, gunfire breaks out.
COPA is the city agency responsible for investigating allegations of police misconduct and all police shootings. "Mr. Reed was struck by gunfire multiple times and was transported to the hospital and later pronounced deceased. A gun was recovered on the front passenger seat of Mr. Reed's vehicle."Reed's family members and their attorneys said they can't understand why the officers - several of whom were wearing plain clothes with their tactical vests - swarmed his car with guns.
