MEANWHILE, MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON CALLED THE FOOTAGE OF REED'S DEATH DEEPLY DISTURBING IN A HASTILY SCHEDULED APPEARANCE AT CITY HALL THIS MORNING.

JOINING HIM WAS ANDREA KIRSTEN, THE HEAD OF THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY, WHO YOU WILL HEAR FROM IN A BIT IN THIS PROGRAM.

COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX WAS THERE AS WELL.

AND HERE'S SOME OF WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY EARLIER TODAY.

>> I KNOW THIS FOOTAGE IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND TRAUMATIC.

FOR MANY OF OUR CITY'S RESIDENTS.

IT WILL BE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR THOSE OF US LIVING IN COMMUNITIES WHERE?

THE EVENTS DEPICTED OCCUR ALL TOO OFTEN.

I'M PERSONALLY.

DEVASTATED TO SEE YET ANOTHER YOUNG BLACK MAN.

LOUISE'S LIFE DURING AN INTERACTION WITH THE POLICE.

>> WE ARE AWARE OF THE COMMUNITIES NEED FOR ANSWERS AND THE DESIRE FOR SWIFTNESS.

LET ME ASSURE YOU.

THERE ARE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE WILL BE RELENTLESS.

GUIDED BY THE FACTS.

GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE AND THE LAW.

HOWEVER.

AND I MUST STRESS.

IT EQUALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE ALLOW THE INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS THE TIME IT NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT ITS FINDINGS, RBI APPROACH.

>> REPORTER HEATHER SHARON JOINS US LIVE FROM THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S 11 DISTRICT WHERE A RALLY IS SET TO START IN JUST A FEW MINUTES TO CALL FOR THE OFFICERS INVOLVED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

AND HEATHER, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

THE MOOD IS LIKE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE WEST SIDE.

WELL, IT'S MOSTLY QUIET HERE.

BRANDON SAYS PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ARRIVE FOR THE RALLY.

>> THERE'S ONE MAN HERE WHO WAS CHANTING THAT DEXTER REED SHOT A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER AS APPEARS TO BE THE CASE.

ACCORDING TO THE PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION.

HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT GOING TO STOP REID'S FAMILY FROM SAYING THAT IT WAS IMPROPER AND A COMPLETE USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE FOR OFFICERS TO SHOOT AT HIM.

96 TIMES IN THE MIDST OF A TRAFFIC STOP.

ON CHICAGO'S WEST SIDE.

>> WE KNOW THAT READS MOTHER AND HIS SISTER, THEY CALLED FOR JUSTICE OUTSIDE THE WEST TOWN OFFICES OF THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON.

HERE THEY ARE.

>> I JUST MISS MY SIDE.

HEART.

I'M SICK FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SHOT.

BUT LAST IS BURNING UP, WE JUST WANT TO WHY DOES THE PONIES KEEP DOING THIS?

SO YOUNG BLACK AFRICAN MS?

>> IF HE WAS SUPPOSED TO PORED FOR A TRAFFIC STOP, WHAT THEY HAVE.

POINTED TO HIM.

HE WAS SCARED.

HE WAS ALREADY WELL, THE GROUND.

THEY STILL PUT THE CAUSE IS THAT IT'S CHECK AND SEE WHAT READ.

>> HEATHER, INVESTIGATORS SAY REID SHOT FIRST AT POLICE AS WE'VE HITTING ONE OFFICER IN THE FOREARM BEFORE OFFICERS RESPONDED BY FIRING 96 SHOTS IN ABOUT 40 SECONDS.

DO HIS FAMILY AND THEIR ATTORNEYS DISPUTE THAT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.

>> THEY DON'T.

BUT THEY HAVE REAL QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT PROMPTED THE INTERACTION IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AND THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY OFFICERS APPROACHED REID'S CAR IF HE WAS ONLY SUSPECTED OF NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT, AS THEY TOLD INVESTIGATOR WITH GUNS DRAWN AND RESPONDED SO QUICKLY WITH DEADLY FORCE.

THEY SAID REED WAS A 26 YEAR-OLD MAN WHO LOVED BASKETBALL AND HIS FAMILY WHO WAS LEARNING TO MAKE HIS WAY THROUGH THE WORLD AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T THINK OF A REASON WHY HE WOULD SHOOT AT POLICE IF HE KNEW THEY WERE POLICE.

NOW WE HEARD FROM ONE OF HIS LAWYERS WHO SAID THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT OFFICERS IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES PROPERLY WHEN THEY APPROACHED THE CAR.

THAT WILL BE AT THE HEART OF THE ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS, NOT ONLY BY STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX, BUT ALSO THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY, WHICH WILL WHICH IS ALREADY RECOMMEND MET, RECOMMENDED TO TOP COP.

LARRY SNELLING SAID HE SUSPENDED THE OFFICERS RIPPED STRIP THEM OF THEIR BADGES.

WHILE THE PROBE IS ONGOING.

SNELLING HAS YET TO TAKE THAT ACTION.

HEATHER, THE SHOOTING BEGAN WHEN HAS DISCUSSED A TACTICAL TEAM, A PLAINCLOTHES OFFICERS PULLED OVER THE THAT REID WAS DRIVING NEAR THE BORDER OF HUMBOLDT.

>> GARFIELD PARK BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT HE WASN'T WEARING A SEAT BELT.

SO A LOT OF QUESTIONS AS WE DISCUSSED, HOW TRAFFIC STOP FOR A MINOR INCIDENTS.

YOU KNOW, A MINOR INFRACTION LEAD TO A FATAL SHOOTING.

THAT IS THAT IS PROBABLY ABOUT TO SHAKE THE CITY.

>> WELL, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, IS THAT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS TO STOP BLACK MEN DRIVING ON THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO FOR MINOR VIOLATIONS SUCH AS SEAT BELT VIOLATIONS OR HAVING AN EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE STICKER OR PERHAPS A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT.

LAST WEEK I REPORTED ON A NEW REPORT FROM THE POLICE REFORM GROUP IMPACT FOR EQUITY WHO SAID THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF TRAFFIC STOPS IN CHICAGO START EXACTLY THIS WAY AND ARE NOT CAUSED MOVING VIOLATIONS OR CLEAR THREATS TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

THAT'S WHY THEY'VE CALLED FOR A BAN ON THE TYPE OF STOP THAT APPEARS TO HAVE LED TO READ STAFF AND IS NOW VERY MUCH AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA FOR POLICE REFORM ADVOCATES IN CHICAGO.

>> ALL RIGHT, HEATHER, AND WE'LL SEE YOU A LITTLE BIT
