That was 0 to dead in 3 seconds. The poor woman was falling to her knees and raising her hands and apologizing.

Why aren't cops trained to take a step back?

I watched the video but I’m still not getting it. Why did did he shoot her?

Kamala would. As a DA she didn’t want cops to wear bodycams and she didn’t want special investigators for officer-involved shootings resulting in a citizen’s death. That’s according to Dem outlets.

That is totally bizarre. She was way across the room.

Why were they even in the house demanding her ID? She is the one that called thinking there was a prowler in the neighborhood. They checked, didn’t find anyone, then invited themselves into her house and demanded ID from her.

Getting IDs from innocent people is like crack to these bad cops (and, alas, many supposedly good cops, too).

When I’ve made a police report, I’ve been asked for name and address...don’t remember if ID also.

I think she was having some sort of mental health crisis, which unnerved him, and they were...pushing for a reaction? Seeing how dodgy she was, if she had drugs?

If the stupid cop had said nothing about the stove, she probably wouldn’t have touched the pan. If he’d taken five steps back, he wouldn’t have had to worry about the water. If his brain had computed her cringing down to the floor with her hands up, he wouldn’t have shot her. Bad selection, bad training.

A lot of people that the police encounter are going to be “altered.” On drugs, intoxicated, mentally ill or physically ill - suffering from dementia, stroke, head injury, diabetic crisis. “Altered” usually needs patience, de-escalation, not threat.

“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Maybe she really did see a devil in him.

Not funny in the least. Have some respect for a woman who was killed and her family who loved her.

It appears that the executed lady was holding a knife and a man was not too far from her. The Female cop shot her without trying to figure out what was going on. Give a cop a gun and everyone is a target. Training and accountability for cops is almost nonexistent.

What video were you watching? The big blond male cop, Sean Grayson, shot her. He told his partner later that he wasn’t going to take a pot of boiling water in the face (news article, not linked video.)

There was no knife in her hand. Grayson was not afraid of a knife but the water. Grayson’s partner was not afraid of her at all, his camera shows him looking away as Grayson talks to her while she is in the kitchen.

There was no man near her, just two cops.

Nearly all the video is from Grayson’s partner. The broadcast cuts to Grayson’s video as he goes round the counter towards Sonya Massey, his camera was not on until then.

It is not the training.

It is what the officers do after the training.

One can receive the best training in the world.

But if one does not utilize it the training does no good.

Very sad.

Maybe her saying ‘I rebuke you in the name of Jesus’ was not her being crazy but was because she could see the devil in him.

May she RIP.

Turd arrested and released on OR bond. Guess he can add another skull to his right arm.
