They're been raising a stink over this for the pass week or so including doing the "hands up don't shoot" routine standing in the street over this.

Long story short LMPD and a US Marshal are chasing this guy wanted on a warrant, he produces a gun, ignores orders to drop it, and is shot dead by the Marshal. Guy had the far too common now required standard for "Community Hero" status record

Video has been released but the usual suspects don't seem to care what the video shows.
Hoping this calms down.

An armed violent criminal?  Give the Marshall a medal.

False. Dexter was pulled over for a traffic stop and responded by sh00ting at the police.

They want another George Floyd movement and are looking for a martyr. The media is also coaxing it along by lying about the story.

Meanwhile video shows him shooting at the police

The media is trying to push a new "George Floyd" movement after a police sh00ting in Chicago.

The reality shows the individual fired nonstop at the police.

Do not fall for their propaganda!

Paint him as this amazingly student with a bright future: Check
Ignore his criminal record: Check
Ignore the actions that got him shot: Check

This is how WaPo covered a story about a man who opened fire on police during a traffic stop. Let's break down the bodycam footage.
