July 22 (Reuters) - The Illinois State Police released video on Monday of a sheriff's deputy killing a woman in her home this month, revealing details of a shooting that some likened to high-profile cases in which law enforcement has used excessive force on Black Americans.
Sean Grayson, a white deputy who was dismissed from the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office and charged with three counts of first-degree murder last week, fired three shots at the woman, Sonya Massey, according to the indictment. He also faces a charge of aggravated battery and one of official misconduct.
"Sonya’s death at the hands of a police officer reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not," President Joe Biden said in a statement on Monday.
"I commend the actions taken by the Springfield State’s Attorney’s office. While we wait for the case to be prosecuted, let us pray to comfort the grieving," he said, calling on lawmakers to pass a stalled police reform bill named after George Floyd, who was choked to death by a white officer in 2020.

Ok, turn off the stove.
Grayson could not control his emotions, had no business being a cop, will be convicted and locked in a cage or the next several decades.
I very seriously doubt it.
That’s not an accurate description of what I saw on the raw videos from the body cams. 37 minutes and some odd seconds.

This raw video from his partner’s body cam includes the part where they enter her house. Both body cameras show the shooting. It’s almost 38 minutes, but worth the time spent watching it.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.
You’re right about that. This one is not even questionable. He’s guilty as sin.
You’re welcome.

Where the outrage over those dead, hmmm?
Folks should check out the new hires in their local law enforcement.
Deep State is getting exactly what it wants there, too.
Unfortunately, that youtube video requires signing in before viewing it. I’ll find some other way to view it.
If you find another way, please post it here.
Has to be some missing key footage. No cop in his right mind would use deadly force based on what I saw....sadly, we will never know the truth
The body camera footage looks genuine to me. If this is what they present to the jury, he will do hard time. As well he should. He murdered that woman in cold blood.
Headline at Twitchy.com said millions more illegals will show up in Chicago by DNC (maybe millions. Old person memory is my current excuse).
