In the USA, Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) released footage of an incident involving a black driver, Dexter Reed, who died during a police stop on March 21. The video shows a confrontation after officers surrounded Reed’s vehicle for a seat belt violation. Shots were fired, resulting in Reed’s hospitalization and later death. COPA stated Reed initiated gunfire, leading to a rapid exchange of 96 shots in 41 seconds. This has raised questions about police tactics, and officers involved are on administrative leave pending investigation.
