Killer cop Sean Grayson was finally convicted for the murder of Sonya Massey.

Cops were called to Sonyas house for a routine "prowling" investigation.

Once inside the cops asked Sonya to move a pot she was cooking in off the stove. She complied, but the killer cop Grayson feared for his life at the sight of a Black woman on the other side of a room holding a pot.

He shot her dead.

He's convicted finally, lets hope it sticks.

According to body-camera video that is certain to play a key role in the trial, Grayson & Massey joked about how the deputy backed away as she moved the pan before Massey said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson later told sheriff’s investigators he thought Massey’s statement meant she intended to kill him, yelled at her to drop the pot & in the subsequent commotion, fired 3 shots, striking her just below the eye.

On July 6, 2024, Massey, a 36-year-old single mother of 2 teenagers who struggled with mental health issues, called emergency responders over a suspected prowler. When Grayson, who is white, & another deputy entered her Springfield home to report finding no one, Grayson noticed a pan of hot water on the stove & ordered it removed.

cop apologist channel "The Streets Wanna Know" on youtube

#copaganda #SonyaMassey

(at least ten of the channel's videos have been recommended to me on the subject of the shooting of Sonya Masey and mainly have featured "african-american" cops expressing sadness about it but they come across as insincere and seem to be part of a public relations exercise)

screencapture of "the streets wanna know" channel on youtube but with the "don't recommend channel" box open - the featured video displays the title text "policeman are upset about sonya massey" and shows a woman, who is probably a cop, looking sadly into the camera

Unfortnately, a Youtube channel has plagiarized the title of this video, along with some of the content from my article of the same name. Ironically the channel is called "Caught Now."
🤔

SONYA MASSEY: WHY THE 2ND OFFICER SHOULD NOT GET OFF SCOT-FREE

"The 2nd officer appears to have evaded scrutiny & accountability ... his actions have been framed by much of the media in a benign light, simply because he had his body camera on and attempted to provide “medical aid” to . But doesn’t he bear some responsibility for allowing his colleague to shoot an unarmed woman in the face?"

In California, our firefighters work grueling hours. We don’t have enough of them, and we rely on slave labor from convict fire crews. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had more fully paid firefighters and less trigger-happy slave catchers? #DefundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter #SonyaMassey
