The Indianapolis chief of police denounced a detective's comment about a 'closed casket' after a 21-year-old man was shot and killed by officers on Wednesday during a high-speed chase that was streamed on Facebook Live. 

Dreasjon 'Sean' Reed was gunned down just hours before police fatally shot another man and ran over a pregnant pedestrian, sparking massive protests in Indianapolis. 

Events surrounding Reed's death were broadcast in real time on Facebook, including comments by a responding detective who is heard saying: 'I think it's going to be a closed casket, homie,' an apparent reference to a closed-casket funeral.

'Let me be clear, these comments are unacceptable and unbecoming of our police department,' Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Randal Taylor told reporters during a news conference Thursday. 

'We'll be pursing immediate disciplinary action against that officer,' Taylor added, going to great lengths to assure the investigations into all of the deaths will be thorough and transparent.

'I hope you understand that I'm one that is willing to acknowledge that if we made mistakes here, we will address them,' he said. 

'But let the investigation run its course before we jump to conclusions - either on our side or on the community's side.'

Meanwhile, on Friday, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears requested that an independent prosecutor take over the Reed case, citing Taylor's personal involvement in the high-speed chase.

Chief Taylor and Deputy Chief Kendale Adams began pursuing Reed in their unmarked vehicles along Interstate 65 after noticing him speeding and driving recklessly.

Taylor and Adams quit the chase once marked patrol cars responded to the scene.

'He will undoubtedly be a material witness in this case,' Mears said of the chief. 

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett this afternoon tweeted out a statement, asking the the United States Attorney’s Office and the FBI to 'actively monitor' the investigation into the officer-involved shooting.

'While I continue to have confidence in Chief Randal Taylor and IMPD’s ability to carry out fair and thorough investigations, it is clear to me that more must be done to provide community confidence in the outcome of those processes,' Hogsett stated. 

'Through this monitoring, in conjunction with an ongoing investigation by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, we reaffirm our commitment to a transparent criminal and civil review of these incidents and the conduct of those officers involved. 

'Importantly, it is my hope that our city may also reaffirm its dedication to channeling the sadness and anger felt by so many into displays of peaceful protest.'

On Thursday, protesters crowded the streets of Indianapolis decrying the shootings  of Reed and McHale Rose, 19, and the death of a pregnant woman, 23-year-old Ashlynn Lisby, who was struck by a police vehicle. Lisby's baby could not be saved.

Officials said both Reed and Rose exchanged gunfire with officers, adding that the second shooting early Thursday morning could have been an ambush on police. 

Police did not have body camera or dash camera footage of either shooting. Both of the men were black, as were most of the protesters.

Lisby, who was white, was walking along an expressway ramp when an officer driving to work struck her with his vehicle.

According to her Facebook posts, Lisby was a single mother of three who worked for FedEx. She is survived by her young son and two daughters.  

Later came the detective's comment, which also was broadcast live on social media.

Taylor, the police chief, said Thursday that the detective was not present when the shooting happened.

Reed's father, Jamie Reed, said he had seen the video and was 'crushed' by its contents.

'It just shows me that we´re not really being protected and served. We're being hunted,' he told reporters at Thursday's protest. 

'My son was a great son. I love him to death. He was just a typical young adult like anybody else. He didn't deserve to die like that.'

In an interview with TMZ, Jamie Reed insisted that his son did not fire a gun at the police, claiming that the video showed Sean running with his T-shirt in one hand and his cellphone in the other.

The father also pointed out that police tasered his son first before using deadly force, arguing that if Sean was armed and pointing a gun at them, they would have shot him without deploying the Taser.
