Media Organizations Are Lying About the Circumstances of a 100% Justified Police Shooting, Attempting to Gin Up Race Riots for the 2024 Election
If the media thinks the public will reward the left for another planned, coordinated "Summer of Love," I think they misread the mood of the public.
But the media has nothing else so they're putting on a show called George Floyd Got Us Votes Last Time.
In March, Reed was pulled over and approached by police. Body cam footage shows one officer asking him to roll the window down and then attempting to open the door after Reed tried to roll the window up. It's at that point that shots ring out and the officers are seen running away to take cover. A gunfight ensues and with Reed stumbling out of the car, the officers discharge their weapons again.
While the press has reported that the officers fired "96 times" as a way to sensationalize the situation, 11 of the shots were actually from Reed, with his initial burst striking an officer in the arm. He can be seen bleeding on the extended body camera footage.
Misinformation about the situation began to be reported immediately, including from Reed's family.
"If he was supposed to get pulled over for a traffic stop, why do they have four guns pointed at him? He was scared. And after he was already on the ground there, they still put him in cuffs instead of checking to see if he's breathing. They shot to him 96 times and reload the clip three times," Reed's sister Porscha Banks said during a Tuesday press conference.
As the footage clearly shows, guns were only pointed at Reed after he refused to comply and started to roll his window up. The officer who was conducting the stop first approached the vehicle in a normal manner. Seeing Reed's gun through the window may have prompted him to draw his weapon. There's also the fact that Reed was out on pre-trial release for a variety of violent felonies related to a shooting he allegedly committed. Did the officers run his tag and know who he was? That could be another reason the officers were overly cautious in drawing their weapons after Reed refused to comply.
Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: Julio Rosas, who covered the BLM riots honestly in 2020, says it sure seems like old times.
CNN is at it again and just in time for riot season!
...
CNN’s Omar Jimenez interviewed Reed's family members after the body camera footage was released yesterday. Reed's family says police should not have stopped him in the first place. As has been standard practice for CNN, they took the view of maybe the cops were just wrong, even though they did not shoot until Reed fired first.
...
"It's about why this stop happened and why the amount shots continued in the way that they did," Jimenez said in the report.
If the name Omar Jimenez sounds familiar, it's because you've probably seen his face many times in memes related to a little riot that happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin back in 2020.
That's right, the "journalist" CNN assigned to stir the racial pot and get some rating-bonanza race riots going is the same "journalist" who excused away the BLM/antifa arsons in Kenosha, Wisconsin as "fiery but mostly peaceful."
