You may have heard about Dexter Reed's killing in Chicago. Nolte breaks it down beautifully.
Most of those headlines include a photo of the deceased, 26-year-old Dexter Reed, smiling in a cap and gown at a graduation ceremony—another gentle giant out getting Skittles in MAGA Country.
And yet, according to multiple body-cam videos of the incident, Dexter Reed shot first and injured a police officer. Only then did the officers at the scene shoot back with the intent to kill, as every police officer should when in fear for their life, as these officers obviously were.
After the release of the body-cam footage this week, even Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson had to reluctantly admit that’s what happened:
According to the video and everything we know so far, Dexter Reed was pulled over and refused to roll down his window or step out of the car. Then he shot a cop—a black cop, per the mayor. Then, the cops fired back and kept firing until they were certain the threat was eliminated. All the hoopla over 96 shots is pure hysteria.
With Dexter Reed sitting in a dark car behind tinted windows and a car door, there was no way to be sure he was immobilized.
No one’s ever confused me with a Back the Blue guy. My problem with authority involves all authority. And I’m not saying there were any bad cops involved in this incident, but in general, if you are pulled over and don’t do as ordered, that’s not only stupid, it’s a quick and easy way to give a “bad cop” everything he wants to make your life miserable.
According to the video, Dexter Reed was the only one escalating this situation, and my guess — and this is just a guess — is that one of the reasons he didn’t want to cooperate with police is because he had that gun in the car.
It really is this simple…
If you pull a gun on a cop, that cop has every legal and moral right to shoot you.
If you shoot at a cop…?

After the release of the body-cam footage this week, even Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson had to reluctantly admit that’s what happened:
I have also been praying for the full recovery of the officer who was shot during this interaction, and who I visited in the hospital the day of the incident. Thankfully, he is recovering, but if that bullet had hit him a few inches in a different direction, I would be here today talking about the loss of another young lack man. … I want to be clear, shooting a police officer can never be condoned, or excused. I will never stand for that.
