No that's not what this was, this wasn't a jumpy cop. This was murder full stop.
Apologies, I didn't intend to minimize what happened. I am fully aware this was murder. I went ahead and changed what I said up top, thanks for the criticism.
How fast can a little old lady move with a pot of boiling water that requires you to "stand your ground" instead of just... walking out the front door?
It is unclear why Grayson changed jobs so frequently and CNN has reached out to the other law enforcement agencies for more information.
Four other police departments are breathing a sigh of relief right now.
Just fucking leave if ur afraid u stupid fucking pig omg this is such bullshit please lock him up for life
Thousands of unemployed people out there who could do this cop’s job without fucking up everything

Wtf?
-
She takes the boiling pot to the sink to empty it and the cop runs away.
-
She mockingly asks "Where you going?" because it's obviously clownish that he just ran away from her like that. Genuinely fucking ridiculous behaviour to assume she was going to do something nasty with it.
-
Dude says it straight that he's running from her with the pot of water.
-
She says "I rebuke you in the name of jesus", very obviously calling him out for racism.
-
They interpret this as a threat that she's about to throw the pot on them and shoots her in the head for it, when it very obviously was not that.
- The cop tells her to go get the boiling pot in the first place
They fucking baited her into murder.
I know its fucked up.
DO NOT call the police. They will and can just come into your home and shoot you over anything and have immunity from the court. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but especially if you're black as we see here in the footage they can and will kill you over nothing.
My favorite line on this subject: only call the police when the situation would be improved by the addition of an easily frightened maniac with a gun.
That is to say, usually don't.
I did a job training thing for a hospital. The guy specifically went over how in case of emergency the police will not help. They won't come and if they do they won't help. That guy was rad as hell. We sat around for like 20 minutes talking abit about the police.

Never talk to cops. They're very bad people and no one should ever speak to them.

Absolutely. I'm not calling 911 unless someone is actively bleeding out on the sidewalk.
Even that can be a risk because the police come with the paramedics to 911 calls. I really don't know any good solution.
Seems like there isn't one as long as we live in capitalist hell.
Take a stop the bleed class and learn how to stabilize massive trauma wounds.
I'll look into that, thanks!
all cops should be literally tarred and feathered - i'm talking the real shit too, but boiling hot tar is almost too kind of a torture than these assholes deserve.
SHE CALLED YOU!!! WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT HER EVEN IF SHE WAS AGITATED (SHE FUCKING WASN'T) - JUST LEAVE. SHE CALLED YOU AND YOU SHOOT HER IN THE HEAD (AND LITERALLY LET HER DIE INSTEAD OF 'WASTING' A MEDICAL KIT)
ACAB for sure
Tarring and feathering is usually fatal because it causes 3rd degree burns over your entire body that can't be cleaned. So, I mean, not too bad. Personally I'd recommend tying them up, stacking tires around them and lighting them the fuck up with gasoline. A bullet to the head is too kind.
Let them starve for four days before lighting the tires too
Oh yeah, of course. Maybe break them on the wheel too.
Somebody like that better be praying I don't come down with a terminal disease.
Our day will come, comrade.

Comrade, can you please say her name in the title of the post.
Her name was Sonya Massey and she was murdered by a racist pig
Sure! I just copied the cnn title, but I'll edit it!
Death to Amerikkka.
Can't wait to hear about how actually she made a football move with the pot of water and it was completely justified to murder her.
ACAB now and forever. Police are useless except for killing dogs and people experiencing altered mental status.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but pause the video with the guy whose bodycam this is where his right arm is outstretched (at 36 seconds); very interesting tattoo there; of German origin perhaps?
Why do you think cops don't do sexy calendars like fire fighters do? They don't want to show all the swastikas.
Was thinking the same thing! Too lazy to figure out what it is specifically right now though
It looks like an adaptation of Aegishjalmur, a Norse rune of protection, with the symbols modified a bit. To what effect I'm not sure, but taken in context I don't believe they're there for a wholesome reason, especially knowing how fond white supremacists are of Nordic mythology and symbolism
Rune tattoos are never a good sign
If you're afraid someone is going to throw boiling water at you, simply leave? Move out of thrown pot of water range? What the fuck is wrong with cops that not only do they go out of their way to murder people like this, but they (successfully) make up these ridiculous fucking excuses for why it was totally necessary?
I would sentence this guy to literally being boiled to death if I were the king or whatever
Words fail me
i have no words...
what in actual hell was that???
I'm done with marching. We need to violent.
I think the charges are gonna keep most people at home. "Atleast he's gonna rot in jail" type mindsets.
Wow what a piece of shit, the smug look on his face in the mugshot tells you everything you need to know.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
