The family of 24-year-old Reginald Clay Jr. has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Chicago police officers of using excessive force, and violating the department's foot chase policy, when they shot and killed him this weekend in the North Lawndale neighborhood.
Several questions swirl around the matter. But the one coming into sharper focus is what police saw just before firing those fatal shots. Clay was seen leaning into the vehicle, police said. As the officers got out of their squad car, Clay put his hand in his wristband and fled on foot through a gangway, police said.
But a Monday update from COPA — which has had access to body cam video — makes no mention of him turning toward the officer with a gun. Their version says Clay was in possession of a firearm which was recovered on the scene."Traditionally, the Chicago Police Department - if there's a gun in someone's hand – will make a point of referencing that, and that's what initially Chicago Police Department said occurred," said Gregory Kulis, an attorney for the Clay family.
Settle the lawsuit for $2
Young scholar enjoying the weather ?
This guy? We can’t wait until you propagandists disappear into oblivion. Very soon…
Ghetto lottery
Show the pictures with him holding all the drug money and the guns.
Good riddance
But I thought they said he was shot in the back ?
One less burden to society to worry about.
I blame today encouragement society that promotes the young people to think that's okay but no one's going after the movie the rappers so far so on who encourage the people to continue on living lifestyle this way in most important it's the teaching the parenting.
Gangbanger
Y’all have any fun plans for summer!?
The cops need to stop shooting these honor roll students.
ok
I hope and pray that a group of plaintiffs' lawyers invest thousands of hours into this case and walk away with nothing.
If this guy shot & killed the cop the media would give ZERO Pity or sympathy to the cop. Some reason they don't seem to value cops lives.. but if you look like a rapper they act like they shot a newborn baby. WHY?
Sometimes it's either Him or the cop getting shot or dying. WHY does it seem the media wants the cop to die, and the disobedient perps with guns to win in a Gunfight The media hates cops or what?
'I'm just out here working on my scholarship nahmean'
Ghetto lottery
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Why did the police take such a aspiring young scholar away from us?
Should just snuff out the rest of the family tree
those drum mags have too jam all the time, right ?
How unusual. 🙄

Of course they did! They are thrilled he’s dead. They will be millionaires.
Grotesque.

Family gots to get their reparations.
A gentleman and scholar, indeed.
I can’t believe this heroic astronaut was mercilessly gunned down by white supremacy while he was on his way to donate blood to children and buy muffins for his family.
Blew through that lame stack in two days I bet
Hmmm CBSNews clearly not telling the full story
My sweet baby din do nuffin
he turned toward an officer with a firearm — leading to a fatal shot by police. 🤔Case Closed
Garbage behavior = results. The he was such a good boy routine only goes so far. Chiraq is a cesspool
He was a gangbanger. He deserved it
The real Reggie
So white people don’t take pictures with guns? White people love to act like they’re perfect when all they do is invade countries and are behind the biggest wars lol
Tattooed face, turns out to be a gun toting “please arrest me”. Criminal! Who knew?
More ghetto lottery. Don't raise your child in any way step one. Make sure there are no father figures at home at all. Step 2. Conduct acts of senseless violence in front of the child for years , step 3. Let him loose step 4. Wait and boom ! Get paid
Good boi
“To avoid being hassled “
Another dead son of Sotero BarackObama Stay safe ChicagoPD
Sad that this scholar was just on his way to pick up some bread.
A paper cut would have killed this crackhead crack baby!
You mean him?
Got a better picture for you to use
Filing a lawsuit before the autopsy is even done…I’m sure they’re just suing out of total emotional devastation…
He got what he deserved tbh.
They are only buying a ticket to try to win the ghetto lottery.
His family never gave a shit what he did or where he was for years..until now
Oops
One less thug off the streets who would have killed an innocent person anyways. Win win
Good. Looks like a dope dealin gang banging low life scum bag. World better without him
I bet he liked playing with his HotWheels too
Poor kid; he was just leaning into the car looking for his lost “What to do when there’s a car battery fire” safety manual. 🤔🤣 VickoFor15
Can’t make this shit up
I see the “professional journalists” are hard at work. HINT: The word is waistband.
No, you are not telling the truth CBC Chicago. Post the gangsta images of this guy posing with his guns. This is why nobody trusts you and the media.
The face tattoos symbolize his love for education
Really?
How come you are not posting the pics with that thug holding his guns?
Why are all these dudes 5,6' and 120lbs?
This guy
Of course they did
Looks like a bad dude
Nothing to see here...these photos were taken at his HS Honors Mathematics Club meeting. They were just practicing addition and subtraction using money and bullets.
He was just on his way to pick his little brother up.
Was he an honor student?
Cops did us all a favor. Good riddance
Upstanding youth
These honor roll students are everywhere. Why not sure the gang he was part hold them responsible for a change.
All the pictures of him posing with illegal firearms 😂 notice those aren’t posted
Of course they did☠️
Isn’t all of our first reaction when we see a cop to run?
Imagine been proud of having a criminal gang member, 🤡
Do you guys have a cap and gown photo of him? Why not show the photos of him with guns and money?
North Lawndale...enough said
He was a good kid who was just trying to put his life together.
Kulis settles for a large amount, takes his 30% then makes a sizable donation to the democratic party during the next election cycle.
No graduation pictures?
Shhhhh
What's all that crap on his face btw
