#Illinois #Police #SonyaMassey
Tyrants playing victim…. Nothing new here.
And just remember blacks for Trump he’s going to give them total immunity
That came down from the governor of Illinois. He was forced to retire 🙄🤷♂️ it’s election year
Inevitable. Grayson is yet to face trial, but it’s a matter of what punishment more than to adjudicate upon guilt. If his conduct upon Massey was considered justifiable, the sheriff would have remained and backed his recruiting to the hilt.
You have a barrel of apples, wash them, have them for human consumption, and someone is affected by a bad one, you’re liable. Step up and take responsibility, instead of initially attempting to hide and cover.
sheriff should be in jail as well.he shows zero empathy for the victims family
The arrogance is delusory. 🤦🏾♂️ #delusion #realitycheck
WOW! I thought I was looking at Roland Martin. The world has gotten too complicated. I must be getting too old for this brutality.
Look up “The civil Lawyer” he does a great vid on this and you can CLEARLY see the pot was on the bench she only had oven mitts in her hands this guy is a straight up stone cold killa
The full jail footage shows the sheriff officers visiting and joking with this murderer asking him to let them know if he needs anything
His retirement should be put on hold till hes fully investigated. He shouldnt be able to collect a penny from his retirement till its determined if he was liable in this.
How this Sheriff feels no responsibility for his Deputy’s callous shooting of Ms Massey is astounding! He knew if this means record yet chose to hire him anyway. Shame on them all, taking no accountability!!!
It is quite timely that the sheriff has decided to retire, as the public is beginning to comprehend and expose the corruption and racial bias that have likely been present for a substantial period. All individuals involved in unethical conduct should be held accountable, regardless of their employment status.
He wants to murder people and walk free !
Black females call the same police on black men every 5 minutes so don’t get mad when your zaddy turns on you 💯
The second cop should also be judged, he is just as guilty as the executioner, he did not stop his partner but helped him
Bye, bye, bye!
You’re fired!
He has to get out for his next pointed white hat meeting!
Only a cop would be charged with murder and still think he’s getting out of jail tomorrow.
It’s sad
6 foot ..Built like a Trojan warrior..was afraid of a woman. He should of walked out .. hide in his car and call for backup.
She came at them with boiling water
👮♂️ ~ I have sympathy and understanding for the cop and the sheriff. Humans make mistakes all the time, and cops don’t have enough time to process all this information. Cops are attacked by people who don’t understand the human brain and who want cops to be perfect, but everybody else to get multiple chances.
But once I learned this cops history it changed my mind on him being arrested. And the sheriff should also resign in shame. This cop does not have a troubled past, he has an atrocious past.
But I will say that I won’t be surprised if certain states start giving cops even more protection than the qualified immunity they already have. Regardless of what people say, qualified immunity in many ways is pretty weak protection. But the spring court recently said that the president should have absolute immunity from anything that is their “official act“ because they cannot be worried that they will face consequences based on decisions they make. But if a president shouldn’t have to worry about consequences they face when they have 100 advisers and thousands of other employees below the primary advisors, and presidents almost always have plenty of time to think about a decision, then why shouldn’t a cop have the same protection?
The demon that possesses Grayson didn’t like being recognized and then rebuked by Ms Massey!
Hopefully he’ll be sent home…
HE WILL WALK…. SEEN THIS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER
Sonya Massey was murdered in a gang initiation killing. The white officer is a gang member and he killed Massey for his initiation.
She attacked them with boiling water
George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose
He said hopefully he’ll get out tomorrow.😅😂😅😂 Dude, you should never get out!! And big bubba is gonna have fun with you when he finds out what you did!! 😂
YES. WELCOMED RESIGNATION.
Shudnt have fired Greyson so hastily.
He has ran with Social Media rage of grief and anger.
He shouldn’t have Talked too much.
Sonyas Death is already a very unfortunate situation.
The Sheriff should have done propper damage limitation, damage control.
He should have pointed Americans to the Court of Law & ask them to wait on the Findings.
He, the Sheriff, should remind everyone that this will be a matter of personal opinions.. as to what is wrong, what’s is unacceptable, and what is victimisation. Hence him & his Team will refrain from expressing any opinion that may lead to either opposing or supporting views.
They don’t want the social media outrage against them and their team, nor confrontation from members of society.
So they don’t want to feed into what’s happening nor how everyone feels..
However, they will humbly respect their opinions and their state of emotions.
Thus, the matter will be exaggerated in Court.
That’s what he should have done
Wow they no they hired a man that should not never a policeman
The sheriff can still be fired. Remember what happened to longtime police commissioner Bill Dwyer earlier this year?
Yahuah is dismantling the police department’s corrupt culture every day across the nation!
thEe aUdacious AudacitY 0f the both of them!! he get$ to collect?! .. .he should have been FIRED! . .they politely turned a blind eye. AGAIN. to this rogue “officer” & his antics!! he’s so very used to being privileged that he ACTually believes NONE of the charges will stick .. .let thAt sink IN!!
I rebuke him in the name of Jesus!!! He straight up murdered that lady!!!
Unfortunately, it takes something bad to happen for the public to see the cops who have no right to be hired in the first place. Police hiring and policies need to change. They should review all the cases the bad cop arrested someone.
Another pink devil allowed to live and breath nice injustice system of America
Fruit loops
Why did the sheriff hire this loony thug ?!
Look how calm he is like he did not do anything
His family will pay for his actions lol he just doesn’t know it yet the things you do in life affect generations after but he shall see how far down the pole this will go since he think he isn’t responsible for this POS
Now he’s a victim? No your not. But the sheriff is probably resigning for embarrassment because he treated that cop with kid gloves. Did all but wipe his bum for him. That guy had a bad jacket and they took one look at it and said “I DO”
Meanwhile 4 young people and a 3 year old were shot and killed last weekend in Chicago. But who cares about blacks being murdered unless it’s a white guy killing a black man.
It should be a crime to lie about what happened. They lied to the family initially…
Its criminal to hire that: criminal
“how are you still employed with us?”
A good number of people who have a desire to be a cop are mentally unstable or at the very least bullies
Still dont understand why she would threaten the cops the way she did.
He’s a menace to society when comes to being a police because he manipulates the system.
The entire department should be under investigation of how someone with history of aggression is still a deputy, however this unfortunately is the down side to unions. The union will advocate for officers even if they are at fault.
Disgusting behavior from the sherriff. Another words, “We protect our own”. No matter what you did. Right or wrong. The code of the blue. Some things will never change.
I’ve worked security before, they wouldn’t even hire a person with certain behaviors in their background. You mean to tell me he was hired as a Policemen?🫨
Sounds about yt! Thugsssss
🧐.. that whole department needs to be looked into
They knew who they hired… And society has paid dearly for it
Cops at there finest aka slave patrol
I knew thats going to happen going to get out because hes white that isnt right he did the crime you do the time if its other way around from african American be in jail for life
Great. The sheriff will just be replaced with someone with even less experience….
The deputy is a complete psycho though. 100%
He actually thought he would be released the next day. He has no shame.
I live here they are probably saving his life keeping him there. The sheriff messed up hiring a loose cannnon. He also said he set it up like this. Its like what’s hus problem smh
Oh naw, Grayson never needs to be released or should have been hired as a police officer.
Where is the g-friend? Bring her on in as well. This was a planned murder / an organized HATE 😡 CRIME…let’s call it, IT IS WHAT IT IS all must be held accountable and take responsibility for their actions.
JUSTICE for SONYA MASSEY
JUSTICE for SONYA MASSEY
JUSTICE for SONYA MASSEY
JUSTICE for SONYA MASSEY
Glory to God, 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In Jesus’ name amen.
You are not getting out!!!!!!
No way he should be released. He a danger to the public 😡
You killed her
Do you really think you going to get out well if you do you better leave this planet
Amazing lack of self awareness and arrogance.
This doesn’t really do much because he gets his full retirement benefits. It’s not like he’s losing out on anything. He just has some public ridicule and embarrassment for not paying attention to the red flags.
This is ridiculous! I don’t really have any words for it!
for all the people that believe she didn’t hurl the scalding hot pot of boiling water at him, it’s on Police Activity channel at 10min40sec…use .25x speed or frame-advance (frames 24-24 can see it raised over her head). The pot landed on the chair in front of Grayson and is seen smoking and the steam rising from the chair & floor for at least 13 seconds after the shots. She almost got him.
Coward cops.
He’s allowed to retire?
WHy did he hire that cop in the first place. Theres a police mafia in the USA it seems.
I am a 63 year old black male who has never been arrested for a crime and yet, the only job I can get is are part-time janitorial jobs which pay barely above minimum wage. Yeah, who says that life is fair. But, crooked, dirty cops can get high-paying jobs in law enforcement.
In is mind not Guilty means that I didn’t do it.
He was just waiting for the green light from his personal legal team. Now he can retire with all his retirement benefits.
Back the blue huh? 🤬😈🤡
I like how they sweep under the rug all the racist attacks on whites but blow these out of proportion, good the corrupt cop is being held accountable, but workout consistency your journalism is discredited and biased trash, only the simple will take you serious…
They treated Grayson like a king. Sheriff, shouldn’t be allowed to retire with his gold plated pension.
You’re not very bright.
They let all those immigrants go if you’re a cop and you have to work in a black community your pay should be double
Was there a Ukrainian flag on that restraining chair in front of the cell? 🧐
Can our newscasters learn what the difference between a deputy and an elected sheriff are?
Good, The Illinois needs to retire and quit by s
Why do Police keep killing people even when they know they are being recorded this is so disgusting I can’t even watch
Free Grayson!!! (I have no ideas what this story is about) I stand with blue lives!!! (Who is Sonya Massey? Is she a singer?)
I knew Sean was going to get away for what he did to Sonya if it was a black man he would’ve never gor outt jail.
Know that anytime you call the cops, there will be multiple armed strangers showing up to protect themselves from you.
The police have no honor
He is so callous after murdering someone. “I’ll be out tomorrow” what an entitled sociopath. If I was a cop and I HAD to shoot someone (legit- self defense shooting) and they died, I would be a mess. He MURDERED her and doesn’t even care.
NBC hired this beast with the giant forehead from PBS? Will look forward to some fair and balanced journalism from her.
Why… He had no obligation to quit
The lady on the news desk needs to stop inserting her personal slant on the story. The sheriff did not resign. We all know that he is leaving the job early because of this situation. However, the man is well past retirement age, and put in his retirement papers and a letter of retirement. Her job is to report the news accurately, and an accurate portrayal of the news is that the sheriff is retiring. Yet she continued to spew inaccurate information that the sheriff was resigning. All that aside, I sincerely hope they play the video of the smug, former deputy for his jury to see just how he expected to get out of murdering someone.
Skum hiring skum
If he gets off. He may as well move to mars.
anti police insurgency / militia
Wow, Governor Pritzker went all out to run this Sheriff out of office, however, he and the Illinois Attorney General are nowhere to be found in Dolton?!
We need to have these cops be held accountable but too many of you thin blue line weirdos think qualified immunity is the greatest gift from God.
Departments need to stop hiring these cops that just keep moving around. All departments are doing is bringing in drama and potential criminal behavior.
Allowed to retire means he will continue to collect a check. This doesn’t past the smell test.
The buck stops with the person who hired him. You ignored every red flag and he killed someone. You’re responsible. It’s like hiring a doctor that was under investigation for malpractice and then wondering why they have a dead patient. The family should also sue the sheriff personally for negligence. The deputy’s former employer went out of their way to make it known he was a bad cop.
Of course he’s retiring, his deputy , that he hired with all that baggage and disciplinary issues, will cost the county millions in lawsuits, and they’ll hold him accountable. He wouldn’t win his next election.
Death penalty
God would not bless a murder gun country like america
