Sonya Massey's father, James Wilburn, said seeing footage of his daughter's killing has left him angry and heartbroken. Sean Grayson, who was fired last week from the Sangamon County Sheriff's Department, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Massey's killing after she called 911 to report a suspected prowler outside of her home.

I tell my kids this all the time. Don’t ever call the police if you need help, call the fire department.

I am crying. The police department attempted so shady stuff. Please Black people stop calling these officers to help us because they aren't here to help us. Someone in that police department attempted to say Sonya Massey unalived herself. Shameful and shady.Now, the police attempted to say the intruder killed her. Shady.

These kids dont have their mom because of a PATTERN of police violence and lack of accountability. DONT BE MISTAKEN This is not a result of the actions of 2 officers or even one department. This is because of a continued lack of care a equal protection of all citizens under the law and poor police training.

RIP. BUT... Crump is like a vulture, swooping in to pick the bones. He'll get richer, the family will still be devastated.
