Dexter Reed is not a social-justice martyr: He shot at cops first

[desecration]

At a traffic stop in Chicago, the 26-year-old Reed pulled a gun and fired on officers before getting killed in return fire.

The first rule during traffic stops — and other interactions with officers — is to do what the police ask, but really, the more fundamental rule is not to shoot at the police.

This hasn’t kept the media from getting a news cycle going about the cops firing 96 rounds after the shoot-out began, often with misleading headlines, and advocacy groups agitating about supposedly gratuitous traffic stops.

At least the article has a sense of humor.

If the stop was with 2 cops, then 96 shots is at least a couple reloads. Maybe they could aim more and check what their shots do before throwing more lead around in an urban area.

Like Vetteman and Chobham, editorial writer Rich Lowry chuckles every time a black man is shot to death by a cop.

Hey if you're gonna get put on "paid administrative leave" for pulling the trigger, you might as well get your money's worth....it's not like the cops had to pay for those bullets either.

I doubt that. He purged the racialists from NR.

What he lacks in originality, he makes up for by being repetitive.
