An Illinois sheriff’s deputy has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a woman inside her home, a death that led to protests about justice for the Black victim.
Sonya Massey was killed after Sangamon County deputies responded to her 911 call early on July 6, State’s Attorney John Milhiser said.
A statement from Milhiser doesn’t describe the circumstances that preceded the shooting at Massey’s home in Springfield, 200 miles (322 kilometers) south of Chicago. But he said a review of body-camera video doesn’t support the use of deadly force.
Deputy Sean Grayson was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct, Milhiser said Wednesday.
Ben Crump, an attorney for Massey’s family, said the 36-year-old woman had called police about a suspected intruder in her home. He said she was unarmed and shot in the face.
They’ve been murdering us for centuries. You’re outraged about this one. What the fuck, indeed.
Please do better, friend. Remember that you’re wearing our badge (.ml).
Also, nice username.
Get over yourself, no need to be so smug.
Well, I’m sorta tired of being murdered, moderates faking outrage, then they rationalize trying to remove the best tool I’ve got to defend my family from those murdering me.
I’m sure you can understand why I’ll respond to your shallow judgement of smugness with a curt, Go fuck yourself, moderate. I’ll set the timetable for my freedom. You can take credit as always once we do all the work.
How many of “you” are there?
I’d guesstimate about a 100 million in the US today. Maybe 500k are committed. Change happens around 15-30 million committed. It’s been 60 years since we’ve seen it last.
Something tells me you have, in fact, never been murdered or killed.
You know what? They told me they were coming for my guns 30 years ago and I ain’t seen a dadgum one of em try…YET
No FRT? No bump stock?
Most didn’t buy these or couldn’t. But, that’s all it takes to get the feds at your door asking questions.

When your justification for being condescending and judgmental relies on a completely unfounded assumption about the person you’re judging, it just looks like you’re trying to find reasons to put others down. It’s not a good look and it’s entirely unfair to the person you’re putting down.
If anyone here needs to do better, it’s you.
