He NEVER should have been a police officer. He had a dishonorable discharge from the Army…. First red flag!! Then alcohol charges… Second red flag. This is negligence on the part of the police back ground checks.
Just to be fair, he had a "general" discharge under honorable conditions, he didn't stay in the U.S. army too long before he was kicked out for serious misconduct (probably many article 15's.) 🪖

She was only joking with them when she asked, "Why are you moving back?" I've even asked my nephew the same question when I lit my outdoor grill using gas, instead of lighter fluid. I said, 'Why are you moving back,' and he started laughing. Common sense should tell the average fool he got his little feelings hurt when she rebuked him in the name of Jesus for insinuating that she was trying to harm them.

@jasonriddle7041 THANKYOU so much for saying that! I couldn’t articulate what I was feeling but this is the exact thing I thought! She was probably like “why are they thinking I’m going to throw this water on them, when they TOLD me to get it off the stove?”
It's worse is when you realize the lady called them because she thought someone was breaking into her house. Then he started demanding to see her license and became belligerent.
Why did she keep attending to her phone when she answered the door? She made it more difficult for the cops to understand WHY SHE CALLED THEM , WHY DID SHE SAY “I REBUKE YOU AS SHES HOLDING A POT OF BOIOLIN WATER ? I’d be afraid too but I would not shoot head just arm
I'm surprised surprised it's not illegal to be as stupid as you are he literally told her to remove the pot and when she did are you really that much of a dunce@@SueChase-ny4tk
@@SueChase-ny4tk I couldn't say why she kept checking her phone. I might suggest if she thought someone was breaking in to her house she probably notified family after calling the police. She was probably updating family members. I cannot attest to that, just a possibility/probability. The cop was afraid because she was cooking, she took the pot off the stove because he asked her to then shot her for holding the pot of water he told her to pick up.
@@SueChase-ny4tkShe was on the phone with 911 that why she was doing that, they hung up once the officer entered her home. She was no threat he could have retreated if he felt threatened but he closed in for a better aim. Anyone trying to justify this shooting seek help.
He told her what he was going to do, and he did it . she did not have the pot when she was murdered.check the original video in slow motion. Point blank and period
That was an execution they both need to be locked up for the rest of their lives. Asking her was she home alone was the first red flag then asking for ID second flag, telling her to remove the pot from the stove third flag, signaling the officer to look back in the room he checked already was the fourth flag, while he talking to her he draws the gun then the other officer turns with his gun pointed at her to then shots fired . He figured he was going to get away with murdering Ms. Massey
actually, asking for ID isn't wrong here at all. You receive a call about a possible break in, you get there, there is SOMEONE answering the door. You do want to verify that THAT person is actually the home owner. Because, it could be the perpetrator who killed the home owner, just pretending to be her.
@@dylanturnergames9341the second dude didn’t do anything. He didn’t escalate it like the other guy. He even asked to help her after he was shot but the other dude didn’t want to
I don’t think she had mental illness, I believed God give her the gift of knowledge to see the demons living in the mind of the person. Now she’s seeing the beautiful face of our Lord Jesus Christ ❤
I am a conservative and a Republican, BUT I believe changes do need to be made in Policing. I don't believe in Defunding the Police, but these are the changes I think need to be made, 1) All Police Officers should have to maintain a Federal or State license to be a Police Officer, no different then a Doctor that has to have a state medical board issue them a license to practice medicine, or a Lawyer being required to pass a State Bar and have a license to practice law. If a police officer is fired or resigns in lieu of termination should have his license pulled and unable to be hired elsewhere. There is a case in Florida, where a Police Officer planted drugs on over 27 people during traffic stops to get promoted. He literally ruined 27 families lives. There are many cases like this. 2) Qualified immunity needs to be removed, why is it when a Police Officer violates someone's rights and is sued the taxpayer's have to pay for it. This is just wrong. 3) Civil Forfeiture needs to be made unlawful, unless the person is arrested for a actual crime. I wish the Democrats and Republican's would come together and actually serve the public and address this matter in a rational way instead of gas lighting. I am tired of the dam THIN BLUE LINE GARABAGE. I was Active Duty Military for 26 years, when we removed someone from the Air Force for disciplinary reasons, they could not go join the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard. Same should hold true for Cops, if you are fired or resign in liue of discipline, they should not be allowed to join a different police force.
I don’t know what being a Republican have to do with this? I am a tax payer American and deserve to have a functional police department. Stop with this us against them bs we just need good humans regardless of politics.
This tragic incident should serve as a dire warning for our country. We didn't get the message with George Floyd; we didn't get the message with Tamir Rice. Perhaps now, we know that some folks in law enforcement aren't fit to serve. Poor people and people of color have been dealing with this for generations..... it's nothing new. It's just that we now have the technology to expose these incidents.
She did....but.... What was the threat to him when IN HER HOME he verbally told her that he was going to shoot her in the face, pulled his weapon and advanced on her?.....The moment he did this, by Illinois law, he stopped being a cop and became an armed home intruder, and by Illinois law castle doctrine she can now defend herself how ever she thinks is necessary. That is why he was charged as he was. It was a pathway to murder.
A female paramedic at the scene while Sonia was still alive And fighting for her life , Stated they had dealt with her earlier. From that incident To 911 dispatch needs to be investigated. There is too much familial involvement in the course of one woman seeking help. Its as if it traveled down the line to be fed up with her (Sonya Massey)and patience was out.

A SWAT team already had killed an innocent old man a Mr. Stamps, in his own home in my home town over 3 years ago. The town then disbanded the SWAT team. Because of this lack of training. Police, who had a search warrant, went to the apartment seeking Stamps’ stepson and another man suspected of selling crack cocaine from the home. After police broke down the door, Stamps complied with an order to get on the floor. He was shot in the head by an officer who said he lost his balance when he tripped over some debris in the hallway, causing him to accidentally fire. Supporters of Stamps say his case should have gone before a jury in a criminal trial and that the $4 million settlement his family received doesn’t take the place of justice.
So he should go to jail for the rest of his life. How could a man that is so tall with a solid buid be threatened by a skinny woman. She posed NO THREAT AT ALL. What a disgrace. RIP Sonya Massey 💚 from Australia
Her autopsy reads that a bullet entered her left eyelid downward, hit her caratoid artery. This is the artery that carries blood from the heart to our brains. Morever, we have All heard of cases where victims of assault survive attacks by stabbing their human threat in the neck; same place as where the bullet exited the late Ms. Massey's neck. A main artery injury is deadly and the likelihood of survival once this artery is punctured is slim to none. Her chance of recovery after this deadly injury was grave. And, to add insult to her injury, this man obviously wanted her unalived. Per his comment after he did exactly what he threatened Ms Massey he would do to her, he tells his partner: "Its a head shot, she's done!" Then goes on to chuckle. Disgusting to say the least. How diabolical! His urgency was not assisting her after he shot her, however he priortized putting up the crime scene tape as if that was a noble act on his part. Inanimate tape was given more respect than human life. The audacity. Now, he is behind bars wanting to go back to work. It is alledged that he has been quoted, "I am experiencing loss pay." That is very telling and further reveals his callous mindset and lack of regard for human life. "My Life Matters" is his message that echoes across the land, And his lost position. I am Beyond appalled..........

@@e.adriannapatterson3900 He is mentally unstable. That’s why he had worked in 6 different departments. It’s sickening to hear that he was hired 6 times if it was not enough with 2 times. And he got expelled from the military. That guy has demons in him from a very longggg time, that’s why the negative reports from his past.
The union wants him to get his job back and reimbursed for wages lost. And what makes matters worse is the Democrats in the Police Commission thinks they can fixed the problem
He was the prowler,his fiance had a squabble at the hospital. Then he waited on the call. He even set her up by telling her to get the pot of water. He saw his chance and took it. And it was luck the body video backed up a few seconds to actually catch it It was accidentally captured because they back up a few seconds.
People think that he should get life but I think he should be given the death penalty just like he gave that beautiful young woman. He has know regret for what he has done to this woman and he family. And another thing and people please try to understand what I am saying. I have a great deal of respect for her family and friends, but I believe that they should show the video of what happened to Ms.Massy.with out cutting and blurting it out so the people can see how bad it really is when the police kill an innocent person.again I’m not trying to be disrespectful to the family or anyone else. But if we can see how horrific the scene looks like the people will fight even harder to get justice for our citizens when things like this happens. I believe the more they cut the video the less people understand how horrific it really is to see an innocent person lying on the ground after being shot by the people you called to help you.😢😢😢
I agree with you but most of these videos are being broadcast over social media & they don't allow certain things, the things that you are suggesting being one of them...!!!
A schizophrenic persons behavior can turn suddenly violent. Thats what we saw. If i was that cop, i would have rather got scalded than be charged with murder
Police protect the State and not the taxpayers who pay their salaries...

This is so tragic 😢. May the Lord embrace and comfort the family. This former "so-called" officer needs to be prosecuted and held accountable for this murder!
I've been watching these videos repeatedly, and I see "NO" evidence that she intended to throw the pot of water at anyone! She appeared to have simply moved the pot of water from the stove to the table top on the other end, thats all! The officer seemed to just jumped to his own conclusions and escalated to the highest level of unnessesary aggression!

BOUT TIME people start to understand.
he better spend the rest of his life in jail. the comments he made afterward revealed he was just looking for someone to shoot. there were many red flags that showed he should not have been in law enforcement.
What people don't want to deal with is this horror of a man was kicked out of one agency to others. None of them wanted this guy around long and kept passing him down the line because they knew at some point he was going to murder somebody on the job, and they didn't want it to be done on their watch. Those different agencies all knew this deputy was a life threatening problem, this is why the laws need to change so that an officer like him, once let go from one agency cannot be let into another.
why in te name of all that is holy was this sociopath allowed to be l=in law enforcement/ I'm not going to hire anyone with that kind of past, especially when the man has the tattoo of a skull on his forearm.
Most in law enforcement are like him and think like him. If you research, you will find that the sheriff & police departments started as 'Runaway Slave Patrol.' (Look it up!)
I am from Peoria Illinois, just north of Springfield, and about an hours drive. If anyone knows about the "Heartland" of America, there are a lot of black and racist hearts there. It's just a skip away from the origins of my parents in Eastern Missouri - Mark Twain country. If anyone read Huckleberry Finn, which was a required reading while I was in high school there, that's the mindset of Illinois. There's a lot of silent complicity regarding race, from top to bottom in employment, healthcare, the penal system, education, housing. Basically a mirror of the rest of the country. Silent complicity as deafening as the silence seen in the bodycam while all of the other responding officers stood around fully knowing of the rumored background of this decrepit human who should never have been allowed to wear a badge. Watching the full bodycams of both officers, I cant help but be struck with the fact of every responding officer I saw was white. I find that odd since Springfield, a city of over 200K residents, has a black population of 13%. Surely there must be some qualified black veterans who actually served their country honorably, and above the dishonorable discharge the murderer in this shooting has, who were more qualified to wear the Sagamon County Sheriff Dept. badge than this system created and privileged killer. This points to an obvious problem in hiring only what appears to be majority white cops regardless of their troubled past. I think the Justice Dept. should fully investigate the Sangamon County Sherrif Dept. due to the complicit nature of wanton hiring practices, with consideration of the demographics disparities mosty likely within their ranks. Clearly an at-a-boy system exist here just as was the case in Ferguson Missouri - a mere few hours drive away. The Sheriff should be fired just as should both the hiring manager and responding partner officer - blood is also on their hands.
God Bless you all for this report! There enough people in the U. S. That America needs to hire the best of the best to serve as Police Officers. That transcends everything!
There is NOTHING good about this situation...to me it is no different than when Catholic Priests who have abused children are simply moved to another church. We, as a society, simply don't hold those in power accountable for their actions...
I think everyone should have security cameras everywhere to record abuses. Maybe even body cams . This is horrific. Perhaps if the police knew it was recorded we might have less videos like this.
Grayson was reprimanded at least twice by his last employer for not following orders. He was in a high speed chase was told to stand down. He disobeyed turned his E-lights off and continued the high speed chase AND ended up running into and killing a deer. He was given a glowing review by his last employer. THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!!
He needs to be charged to the fullest extent. No dropping charges

She was only joking with them when she asked, "Why are you moving back?" I've even asked my nephew the same question when I lit my outdoor grill using gas, instead of lighter fluid. I said, 'Why are you moving back,' and he started laughing. Common sense should tell the average fool he got his little feelings hurt when she rebuked him in the name of Jesus for insinuating that she was trying to harm them. If you can't keep your feelings and emotions in check, why are you walking around with a badge and a gun?
The real joke is you admitting you can't light your grill without using some kind of lighter fluid. Your man card is IMMEDIATELY REVOKED until further notice. Thank you.

@jasonriddle7041 THANKYOU so much for saying that! I couldn’t articulate what I was feeling but this is the exact thing I thought! She was probably like “why are they thinking I’m going to throw this water on them, when they TOLD me to get it off the stove?”
Why are you moving back
How terrible..call for help and get killed by the "help"..? Heart breaking and Scary indeed. 💔
RIP beautiful Queen Sonya Massey. My condolences to her family members, especially her mother, father, and her children
It's worse is when you realize the lady called them because she thought someone was breaking into her house. Then he started demanding to see her license and became belligerent.
@onceagain6184 what's funny
Why did she keep attending to her phone when she answered the door? She made it more difficult for the cops to understand WHY SHE CALLED THEM , WHY DID SHE SAY “I REBUKE YOU AS SHES HOLDING A POT OF BOIOLIN WATER ? I’d be afraid too but I would not shoot head just arm
I'm surprised surprised it's not illegal to be as stupid as you are he literally told her to remove the pot and when she did are you really that much of a dunce@@SueChase-ny4tk
@@SueChase-ny4tk I couldn't say why she kept checking her phone. I might suggest if she thought someone was breaking in to her house she probably notified family after calling the police. She was probably updating family members. I cannot attest to that, just a possibility/probability.
The cop was afraid because she was cooking, she took the pot off the stove because he asked her to then shot her for holding the pot of water he told her to pick up.
@@SueChase-ny4tkShe was on the phone with 911 that why she was doing that, they hung up once the officer entered her home. She was no threat he could have retreated if he felt threatened but he closed in for a better aim. Anyone trying to justify this shooting seek help.
He told her what he was going to do, and he did it . she did not have the pot when she was murdered.check the original video in slow motion. Point blank and period
The pot was on the counter and he kept yelling drop the pot. Sonya must have been so confused and scared.
@@TheSuperPsychoKillerHe actually told her to pick it up and take it off the fire in the first place! He wanted to do this.
That was an execution they both need to be locked up for the rest of their lives. Asking her was she home alone was the first red flag then asking for ID second flag, telling her to remove the pot from the stove third flag, signaling the officer to look back in the room he checked already was the fourth flag, while he talking to her he draws the gun then the other officer turns with his gun pointed at her to then shots fired . He figured he was going to get away with murdering Ms. Massey
Unfortunately it's already confirmed the 2nd officer wasn't charged
actually, asking for ID isn't wrong here at all. You receive a call about a possible break in, you get there, there is SOMEONE answering the door. You do want to verify that THAT person is actually the home owner. Because, it could be the perpetrator who killed the home owner, just pretending to be her.
@@dylanturnergames9341the second dude didn’t do anything. He didn’t escalate it like the other guy. He even asked to help her after he was shot but the other dude didn’t want to

AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am a conservative and a Republican, BUT I believe changes do need to be made in Policing. I don't believe in Defunding the Police, but these are the changes I think need to be made, 1) All Police Officers should have to maintain a Federal or State license to be a Police Officer, no different then a Doctor that has to have a state medical board issue them a license to practice medicine, or a Lawyer being required to pass a State Bar and have a license to practice law. If a police officer is fired or resigns in lieu of termination should have his license pulled and unable to be hired elsewhere. There is a case in Florida, where a Police Officer planted drugs on over 27 people during traffic stops to get promoted. He literally ruined 27 families lives. There are many cases like this. 2) Qualified immunity needs to be removed, why is it when a Police Officer violates someone's rights and is sued the taxpayer's have to pay for it. This is just wrong. 3) Civil Forfeiture needs to be made unlawful, unless the person is arrested for a actual crime. I wish the Democrats and Republican's would come together and actually serve the public and address this matter in a rational way instead of gas lighting. I am tired of the dam THIN BLUE LINE GARABAGE. I was Active Duty Military for 26 years, when we removed someone from the Air Force for disciplinary reasons, they could not go join the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard. Same should hold true for Cops, if you are fired or resign in liue of discipline, they should not be allowed to join a different police force.
Do you know what defund the police means?
@@Ms.MaryAnnThe op stated they did not want to defund the police.

I agree. When bad cops do things like this, it makes all cops look bad. That poor woman and her family. 😢

This tragic incident should serve as a dire warning for our country. We didn't get the message with George Floyd; we didn't get the message with Tamir Rice. Perhaps now, we know that some folks in law enforcement aren't fit to serve. Poor people and people of color have been dealing with this for generations..... it's nothing new. It's just that we now have the technology to expose these incidents.
NEVER TRUST COPS PERIOD! DON'T CALL THEM DON'T ALLOW THEM INTO YOUR HOME
I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS

New video shows she had no pot in her hands
She did....but.... What was the threat to him when IN HER HOME he verbally told her that he was going to shoot her in the face, pulled his weapon and advanced on her?.....The moment he did this, by Illinois law, he stopped being a cop and became an armed home intruder, and by Illinois law castle doctrine she can now defend herself how ever she thinks is necessary. That is why he was charged as he was. It was a pathway to murder.
She was putting the pot on the counter bc the police told her to step away from it
How does a guy with serious misconduct discharge from the military even become a police one time let alone 6 hires total
That part!!
He's large. . . . they like that.
A female paramedic at the scene while Sonia was still alive And fighting for her life , Stated they had dealt with her earlier. From that incident To 911 dispatch needs to be investigated.
There is too much familial involvement in the course of one woman seeking help. Its as if it traveled down the line to be fed up with her (Sonya Massey)and patience was out.
The first thing she asked was are you going to hurt me. Why would she even think to ask that?

What was the need to even go into her house, she called about noise outside her home!
A SWAT team already had killed an innocent old man a Mr. Stamps, in his own home in my home town over 3 years ago. The town then disbanded the SWAT team. Because of this lack of training. Police, who had a search warrant, went to the apartment seeking Stamps’ stepson and another man suspected of selling crack cocaine from the home. After police broke down the door, Stamps complied with an order to get on the floor. He was shot in the head by an officer who said he lost his balance when he tripped over some debris in the hallway, causing him to accidentally fire. Supporters of Stamps say his case should have gone before a jury in a criminal trial and that the $4 million settlement his family received doesn’t take the place of justice.

So he should go to jail for the rest of his life. How could a man that is so tall with a solid buid be threatened by a skinny woman. She posed NO THREAT AT ALL. What a disgrace. RIP Sonya Massey 💚 from Australia
Her autopsy reads that a bullet entered her left eyelid downward, hit her caratoid artery. This is the artery that carries blood from the heart to our brains.
Morever, we have All heard of cases where victims of assault survive attacks by stabbing their human threat in the neck; same place as where the bullet exited the late Ms. Massey's neck.
A main artery injury is deadly and the likelihood of survival once this artery is punctured is slim to none.
Her chance of recovery after this deadly injury was grave.
And, to add insult to her injury, this man obviously wanted her unalived. Per his comment after he did exactly what he threatened Ms Massey he would do to her, he tells his partner: "Its a head shot, she's done!" Then goes on to chuckle. Disgusting to say the least.
How diabolical! His urgency was not assisting her after he shot her, however he priortized putting up the crime scene tape as if that was a noble act on his part. Inanimate tape was given more respect than human life. The audacity.
Now, he is behind bars wanting to go back to work. It is alledged that he has been quoted, "I am experiencing loss pay." That is very telling and further reveals his callous mindset and lack of regard for human life.
"My Life Matters" is his message that echoes across the land, And his lost position.

don't call 911 now days
Unarmed? She threw the boiling water at them immediately before they shot her. You have that footage but you're not showing it.
Grayson thinks he didn’t do anything wrong,,come on man up, you didn’t have to go in just do an exterior check.
The union wants him to get his job back and reimbursed for wages lost. And what makes matters worse is the Democrats in the Police Commission thinks they can fixed the problem
He was the prowler,his fiance had a squabble at the hospital.
Then he waited on the call.
He even set her up by telling her to get the pot of water.
He saw his chance and took it.
And it was luck the body video backed up a few seconds to actually catch it
It was accidentally captured because they back up a few seconds.
Am curious as to how well police forces are vetting their prospective hirees.
Can we not look only at race, 6 police departments in 4 years, 2 dui’s, why was he ever hired again as an officer.
Race
Ofcourse that race
That’s white privilege in action for ya.
Police unions and fiancé's daddy is the chief in that town
But I think he was a deputy not police.
So he didn't actually work for daddy in law.
People think that he should get life but I think he should be given the death penalty just like he gave that beautiful young woman. He has know regret for what he has done to this woman and he family. And another thing and people please try to understand what I am saying. I have a great deal of respect for her family and friends, but I believe that they should show the video of what happened to Ms.Massy.with out cutting and blurting it out so the people can see how bad it really is when the police kill an innocent person.again I’m not trying to be disrespectful to the family or anyone else. But if we can see how horrific the scene looks like the people will fight even harder to get justice for our citizens when things like this happens. I believe the more they cut the video the less people understand how horrific it really is to see an innocent person lying on the ground after being shot by the people you called to help you.😢😢😢

This is so tragic 😢. May the Lord embrace and comfort the family. This former "so-called" officer needs to be prosecuted and held accountable for this murder!
That is the problem "They just move around ". That has to change.
I've been watching these videos repeatedly, and I see "NO" evidence that she intended to throw the pot of water at anyone! She appeared to have simply moved the pot of water from the stove to the table top on the other end, thats all! The officer seemed to just jumped to his own conclusions and escalated to the highest level of unnessesary aggression!
What yall don't understand is black people have been feeling like this for a long time.. Every since I was young we have felt like this now I am 43 and you finally starting to understand why people was wearing the shirts. Talking about black lives matter.. zWe have been trying to tell yall what be happening. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING IGNORED AND TALKED ABOUT BUT WE FEEL LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, THE NORMAL BLACK PEOPLE..

he better spend the rest of his life in jail. the comments he made afterward revealed he was just looking for someone to shoot. there were many red flags that showed he should not have been in law enforcement.
what a horrible officer.
He needs to be locked up for life. Give him 50 years to life.
She called the demons out in that man by saying jesus this guy needs to be in prison
this is sad. i’ll be praying for this innocent lady and this wrathful man. and all police officers that they are slow to anger and quick to listen
he gonna end up with fed charges too
A national data base makes sense.....should prevent misfits from being hired and going from one department to another.
What people don't want to deal with is this horror of a man was kicked out of one agency to others. None of them wanted this guy around long and kept passing him down the line because they knew at some point he was going to murder somebody on the job, and they didn't want it to be done on their watch. Those different agencies all knew this deputy was a life threatening problem, this is why the laws need to change so that an officer like him, once let go from one agency cannot be let into another.
It makes me so mad when cops ask for id when it's not warrantied
why in te name of all that is holy was this sociopath allowed to be l=in law enforcement/ I'm not going to hire anyone with that kind of past, especially when the man has the tattoo of a skull on his forearm.
Most in law enforcement are like him and think like him. If you research, you will find that the sheriff & police departments started as 'Runaway Slave Patrol.' (Look it up!)
@@cecemeadows8117EXACTLY! 💯 The Most High Sees It All !
I am from Peoria Illinois, just north of Springfield, and about an hours drive. If anyone knows about the "Heartland" of America, there are a lot of black and racist hearts there. It's just a skip away from the origins of my parents in Eastern Missouri - Mark Twain country. If anyone read Huckleberry Finn, which was a required reading while I was in high school there, that's the mindset of Illinois. There's a lot of silent complicity regarding race, from top to bottom in employment, healthcare, the penal system, education, housing. Basically a mirror of the rest of the country. Silent complicity as deafening as the silence seen in the bodycam while all of the other responding officers stood around fully knowing of the rumored background of this decrepit human who should never have been allowed to wear a badge. Watching the full bodycams of both officers, I cant help but be struck with the fact of every responding officer I saw was white. I find that odd since Springfield, a city of over 200K residents, has a black population of 13%. Surely there must be some qualified black veterans who actually served their country honorably, and above the dishonorable discharge the murderer in this shooting has, who were more qualified to wear the Sagamon County Sheriff Dept. badge than this system created and privileged killer. This points to an obvious problem in hiring only what appears to be majority white cops regardless of their troubled past. I think the Justice Dept. should fully investigate the Sangamon County Sherrif Dept. due to the complicit nature of wanton hiring practices, with consideration of the demographics disparities mosty likely within their ranks. Clearly an at-a-boy system exist here just as was the case in Ferguson Missouri - a mere few hours drive away. The Sheriff should be fired just as should both the hiring manager and responding partner officer - blood is also on their hands.
God Bless you all for this report! There enough people in the U. S. That America needs to hire the best of the best to serve as Police Officers. That transcends everything!
