Media Paints Millionaire Athlete As Another ‘Oppressed’ Victim Of Police

It was just a few months ago that police in Chicago attempted to pull over a man named Dexter Reed for driving with illegally tinted windows. I talked about this incident on the show at the time, when the media was trying to turn Reed into the next George Floyd. As soon as the traffic stop began, Reed began acting suspiciously. He repeatedly refused officers’ commands to lower his window so they could see what was going on inside his car. Then he raised the tinted window to completely obstruct the officers’ view of the inside of the vehicle. And then, within seconds, Dexter Reed opened fire.

Police officers train on footage like this all the time. There are hundreds of videos like it all over the internet. And they all tell the same story, which is this: When the police pull someone over, and that person attempts to hide what he’s doing, then the situation has just become extremely dangerous. All traffic stops involve some level of risk. But when someone rolls up a tinted window instead of complying, that risk gets exponentially higher. That’s especially true when the suspect has a criminal history. So police have no choice but to respond quickly and decisively, and potentially with force, because they’re in a life-threatening situation. Otherwise, they might get shot and killed before they can even see what’s coming.
