The Washington Post published a story Wednesday about a 26-year-old black man in Chicago killed following a shootout with police last month. Readers have to scan eight paragraphs under the headline, “Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop,” before learning bodycam footage indicates Dexter Reed fired first, wounding an officer. //
Neither CNN, USA Today, nor the Washington Post noted that Reed fired 11 rounds at the officers. His shots “almost kill[ed] an officer,” said Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara. The police shot back. Reed “continued to fire at the officers while they were firing those 90 rounds,” Catanzara noted.
