The killing of Dexter Reed: the police as Israel — 11 Comments

  1. Three choir members of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ were murdered between Nov & Dec 2007 — Donald Young, Larry Bland, and Nate Spencer — murder execution style within “40 days of each other” and that barely made the news.

  2. The narrative will not be shut up no matter what the facts are by the Democrat ( now Marxist) Propaganda Ministry

  3. @Karmi, I looked that up, it seems they were all gay, and some people think it was a coverup of Obama’s gay rumors.

  4. If you refuse police instructions and pull a gun and shoot them you cannot expect good results.

  5. Second City Cop blog has some posts on this, for obvious reasons (since he’s in Chicago). One of the posts lists the number of shots fired by each of the participants.

    First and foremost, the cops didn’t fire 96 shots. 96 shots was the total number of shots fired, including the 17 fired by the now dead criminal (which his defenders conveniently assign to the cops instead). And as SSC notes, 17 rounds is the number carried in the magazine of a Glock pistol, meaning this former “fine, upstanding youth” had enough time to completely empty his pistol before he was killed.

    If I had to guess (if bodycam footage has been released, I haven’t seen it), I suspect he was still pulling the trigger when he died, caught up in the adrenaline rush and not realizing that his gun was empty.

  6. “Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?

    as a prosecutor once said re Kyle Rittenhouse.

    Yeah, so you figure you have an absolute right to be free of molestation and assault and battery from malevolent actors?

    Nah, that’s so old fashioned, so white heterosexist individualism thinking; so lacking in feelings of self-sacrifice, mutual identification, and empathy for those who might need to satisfy an impulse to physically damage you.

    Go directly to 6:59. This guy gets it. It’s a “We” problem as I have been saying now for years based on philosophical anthropology and worldview issues. There aint no “we”. At least not anymore, if indeed there ever was.

  7. Junior– When the last shot is fired, the Glock slide locks open to facilitate replacing the empty MAGAZINE [not clip] with a full one and chambering the next round. It will not click-click-click when no more bullets to launch. But yes, he was probably squeezing that trigger, looking like he could still shoot, thus the ultimate end of story.

    This is all bogus info because it is against the law for people to possess a gun with a MAGAZINE capable holding more than 10 rounds in Chicago. No upstanding, etc, Chi-town resident would peacefully ride around with an illegal firearm…

  8. Resist arrest, you might get hurt/killed. Shoot at four cops, you will get killed. The motto: Don’t resist arrest.

    In a melee of five shooters, the shooting continues until the perp obviously isn’t returning fire. That’s not an overreaction, that’s survival training.

    Proportionality?? Give me a break.

  9. The objection among black chauvinists is that people of low status (police officers) are permitted to use deadly force against people of high status (blacks). The objection of professional-managerial class types is that people of low status (police officers) have used force contra one of our pets. The actual circumstances do not matter to either segment.

  10. I watched the bodycam videos.
    “Roll down your window!”
    Reed rolls the tinted window halfway down, then rolls it back up. He’s wearing a mask (balaclava, not medical). “Roll down your window!” He doesn’t.
    “Unlock your door!” He doesn’t.
    Then a black cop next to the passenger door tells him to cooperate.
    He shoots the black cop.
    The cops were right to shoot Reed until they were sure the threat was neutralized.
    The “community” should thank the cops for taking this thug off the streets.
