COPA released bodycam video of a shootout between CPD and Lovelle Jordan in 2020 behind a West Side police station.
The footage shows an officer opening the door of the car, coming face to face with Lovelle Jordan as he begins shooting. A shootout ensures for nearly two minutes, with officers firing back, striking Jordan and leaving him paralyzed.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability was prohibited from releasing video footage until Jordan's criminal case concluded. Jordan asks officers to place his handcuffs in the front because he had third-degree burns on his hands. Officers refuse but tell him they will remove the handcuffs once they are at the station.
The officer falls to the ground then rises about two minutes later and fires about two shots before running into the station.
