In a stunning turn of events, Chicago police officers fired a whopping 96 shots at 26-year-old Dexter Reed during a routine traffic stop.

The shocking display of violence has sparked outrage and raised concerns about police brutality and accountability.

The incident has stirred controversy as investigators raise concerns over the justification for such an extreme response. The civilian office of Chicago has questioned the officers' actions, particularly the decision to fire nearly 100 shots and the officer firing over 50 rounds alone. Mayor Brandon Johnson has promised transparency in the investigation, but the community is demanding answers and accountability for the excessive and deadly force used during the traffic stop.

As the investigation into the shooting continues, the case of Dexter Reed serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers and consequences of police use of excessive force. The incident has reignited conversations about police accountability, racial bias, and the need for reforms to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The community is demanding justice for Reed and a comprehensive review of police procedures to ensure the protection of all citizens during law enforcement interactions.
