Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured, according to graphic video footage a police oversight agency released Tuesday.
Five officers from a tactical unit who were in an unmarked police vehicle surrounded an SUV last month driven by Dexter Reed, allegedly for failing to wear a seatbelt. Video shows the 26-year-old Black man briefly lowering a window and then raising it and refusing to exit the vehicle as more officers arrived, yelled commands and drew weapons.

I know this isn’t the point, but I thought ammo was much cheaper than that.
50cal is in the dollars per round for certain types of ammunition, less than ten cents a bang is bloody cheap.
It once was, before gun companies and ammo manufacturers realized they could squeeze fud for all he’s worth if they rant (through means such as the NRA) that someone is coming for your guns. Eight cents for 9mm is pre-craze prices. I think the last bulk buy I saw was more in the $0.15 range. .223 has also doubled, in my experience. .22lr went through the roof. It was once $20 for 500 rounds. Now I saw 200 for $30. The only ammo I can think of that hasn’t changed greatly is shotgun shells.
9mm is currently like $0.22 per in 1000ct, .22lr is around $0.07, .223 is around $0.55.
9mm and .22lr are about 25% higher than pre-craze, .223 has kept the same price as during craze.
TIL, thanks!
