    I think I read that he posted in Facebook the day before that he was going to suicide by cop that day.

      Seen on X...

      (an attorney comments)

      Hmm, this one is a bit of a quandry. Guy fires first, which would make this obvious, except one problem:

      Police here are in an unmarked vehicle, and plainclothes. How does someone react to a bunch of apparent randos with guns demanding things?

      So, police tactics question then. I would say that it is probably not a good idea for police strategy/tactics/operations to create a situation where others might be able to lawfully shoot you.

      Also, someone get these officers an invitation to join the Avengers if they were able to see this guy had no seatbelt on through that window tint. That's impressive.

        1. Window tints that dark should be illegal and subject the vehicle to immediate towing, a fine and removal of window tint before the vehicle can be reclaimed.
        2. Plain clothed cops should never, ever make a routine traffic stop. Period.

          Yes

          I want to know more about this. Why was this the case?

            Yeah, especially for a supposed seatbelt violation. Plainclothes? On a residential street?

                I wasn't aware of this: "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? "

                  I’m mostly curious what Mr Reed looked like at his high school graduation. I hope by some miracle I will chance upon such a photo.

                  Someone found his mugshot from 5 months ago.

                    These sorts of cases keep right wing punditry alive. It shouldn’t take advocate journalists to do a fair job. But we’re left with Matt Walsh to report these stories as they are.

                      I think the seatbelt statement was BS. You couldn't tell if Santa Claus was driving that vehicle, due to the window tint.

                      Besides (and I haven't seen the whole video from when the decision to stop him originated), that's a helluva lot of cops for a traffic stop. And a lot of plainsclothes guys for most things.

                      As for why plainsclothes guys shouldn't make stops...It leads to confusion. Any perp can have lights on an unmarked car. You want a marked car with a uniformed officer to make the stop.

                        Tint reflection for SUV and vans:

                        Front Side windows: Must be non reflective, state law is not specific about what this means.
                        Back Side windows: Must be non reflective.
