Sonya Massey ducked and apologized to an Illinois sheriff’s deputy seconds before he shot the Black woman three times in her home, with one fatal blow to the head, as seen in body camera video released Monday.

An Illinois grand jury indicted former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson, 30, who is white, last week. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct.

    If you’re afraid of a pot you shouldn’t be a cop.
  • I didn't even bother to call the cops after escaping a carjacking attempt. I didn't feel like getting victimized twice in the same night by a different group of criminals.

    This is shocking. That cop totally set her up so he could shoot her like a dog in the street. Where is the humanity?I guarantee this wasn't his first time doing this. We deserve better. That innocent woman called for help and she gets shot in the face. 😢

    A tiny lady in her own home seeking help from the police loses her life by the police??? Imagine these parent grieving for the rest of their life and caring for their grandchildren.
  • An all too familiar story here in our country. Six jobs in four years at six different police departments. SMH.. But ... A convicted rehabilitated American released from prison, struggles to get a job at a fast food joint.

    If you can't keep your feelings and emotions in check, why are you walking around with a badge and a gun?
  • @ScooterFXRS
    Thus has law enforcement become the police state, with no responsibility, accountability, and given more protection than an endangered species. Judicial and bureaucratic immunities must be abolished.

    The cop mental health is at question, not Ms.Massey he the one with mental health issues scared of a pot, then to say it came to our feet( the water) like his reality is not real...I am speaking of the cop.

  • @P-Funk718
    When are people gonna realize, THEY ARE KILLING US ON PURPOSE🤬 she had a frying pan🤯
  • They promote this within the department, the cop literally just felt like he needed a vacation. Its called "paid administrative leave"
  • @mreast14998
    Ducked and apologized? She threatened to pour boiling water on some police officers for no reason.
  • This tiny lil lady and a pot 😲 I think his partner knew he was in the wrong!! He needs charges filed on him for murder!!!
