    He was hostile from the start. He told her to remove the boiling water!! And then says he is scared of her and kills her. I'll never call the cops to my home. Never.
  • It's not even safe to call the cops when you need help. Dear God.
  • @teemanz2264
    They sent her to the kitchen to turn the pot off 🤷🏾‍♂️
  • @camndino
    That cop had an attitude like she was bothering him.
  • Makes me sick. That officer should spend the rest of his life in prison. My heart goes out to the family.
  • @tandt7694
    The killer TOLD the victim to take the pot off the stove. Then shot her and blames it on the pot.
  • @tyhairston5397
    Look how this woman start it off with 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️” she call for help , instead she got shot and killed !”🤯🤯🤯like man that just blows your freaking mind
  • @nsanejane7713
    They immediately go to deadly force with us yet I seen a 6’5” 200 something pound white man (former LEO) who was actively trying to attack the police be tased several times & wrestled to the ground & handcuffed. For some reason they just can’t do that with us & we all know why cause there’s no other reason for it 🤷🏽‍♀️
  • This is such a TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!!! It is obvious from full tapes that this sweet lady was on edge from fear and she even began her conversation at doorway by gently pleading, “Please don’t hurt me!” when she saw several policeman at her home and seemed slightly overwhelmed. Then the bully proceeded to not only hurt her but ferreted out some lame excuse to assassinate her point blank!!! I cry for dear sweet Sonja Massey and her loving family.
  • @glenn71144
    That deputy has worked for 6 different police departments since 2020. Thank goodness for video. So sad.
  • @Celsor5865
    He is not the only bad cop in uniform!!! The DOJ needs to also investigate how these unfit cops get hired in the first place. And investigate the Police chiefs who accept these unfit individuals, too!
  • @palehorse6250
    You can hear the condescension in the officers voice, they’re SWEARING AT HER!!! How dare they treat her like that?! He has a record of being a POs, they hired him and now an innocent struggling woman and mother is DEAD. UNFORGIVABLE. As if she made any move to injure him.

    If you’re gonna speak of the video give better details She was told to take the pot off the stove by the officer. More of the story if you were scared of a pot of water, just walked out of her house. They inserted their self into her house. Not that you can’t ask somebody with mental issues because in their head they don’t even know they have mental issues. Cops need to be trained better. It would be nice if we didn’t have so many scared cops with guns. See the whole video to get the full perception.. not these clip that the news are showing
  • There is no need for an investigation when there is a body camera video out that man in jail for murder and let’s go about our lives she was told to pick up the water and when she did he found his excuse
  • @starrprinc3ss89
    If she was ducking down it was no way he was gonna take boiling water to the face like she took a bullet to the face like he said she would.
