A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 for help.
Sean Grayson, 31, was convicted in October of second-degree murder. Grayson, who is white, received the maximum possible sentence and has been in police custody since being charged in the killing.
Massey’s family members, who were sitting in the court, celebrated his sentence with a loud cheer: “Yes!” The judge admonished them.
Grayson apologized during the sentencing, saying he wished he could bring Massey back and spare her family the pain he caused.
“I made a lot of mistakes that night. There were points when I should’ve acted, and I didn’t. I froze,” he said. “I made terrible decisions that night. I’m sorry.”
This man has a financial interest in keeping officers as scared as possible so their Chief can book training courses with this guy.
I wouldn’t take whatever he says as having any basis in reality.
You and I know that, but the cops he’s training eat that shit up and then wet their pants in terror when an acorn falls on their squad car .
its the squirrels.
One of the fucking greatest things I’ve ever seen.
Dude apparently thinks he has been shot, so of course, what makes sense to do is:
‘Combat roll’
(Utterly tactically useless given the angle from where he thought he was being shot from)
‘Suppressive fire toward a restrained person in custody in a police cruiser…’
(“I need to shoot my partner’s car!”)
‘… narrowly missing his partner cop…’
‘… and with flimsy ass shit tier residential townhomes as the back stop beyond the car.’
That guy needs to be sentenced to only be allowed to appear in public in a full on clown suit for 5 years.
Its actually a miracle he didn’t kill anyone.
Jesus I had forgotten about that one…
