At a presser today, Supt Snelling said that the traffic stop narrative concerning Dexter Reed is premature, but the Tactical Reports signed by the involved CPD officers say it was a traffic stop. He told the press to ask deeper questions. So...are the police lying?

I can't help but think of the parallels between Laquan McDonald and Dexter Reed. I examined the Johnson administration's response so far and explored how it is focusing its efforts toward healing, accountability, transparency, and justice. The TRiiBE

Im remembering the restraint CPD used for the rooftop Nazi last May. Remember that guy? He shot at police had a flamethrower and caused a violent spectacle. CPD did not move on him for hours. They did not shoot at him 97 times. He was white. They negotiated.

The attorney representing Dexter Reed’s family said at a press conference today that these were plain clothed officers in an unmarked car who did not identify themselves as police.
