Massey called 911 after fearing an intruder in her home. Newly released body-cam footage shows Massey ducking and apologising for telling the officers ‘I’ll rebuke you in the name of Jesus’ seconds before one officer shot her in the face. Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has pleaded not guilty to the charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct. If convicted, he faces a prison sentence of 45 years to life for murder.

love his message but why he had his grandaughter up
USA is a mad house . No respect for human life
Omg the young lady in black what is she doing this man is hurt and pouring his heart out and she's making all these weird gestures
She just said something and was threatened to be killed because he didn’t like what he heard. Messing with a Police officer is the equality of death these days.
Much respect to her father!!
A hispanic or black guy with his background would have never been given the opportunity to be a cop.
Let's stop saying "enough" and start doing enough.
Rest in peace Sonya Massey 🕊️
Illinois is a democratic state, they should do a better job of keeping these officers in check. After all, democrats are always out there protesting police brutatlity, but when they are in power, they can do something about it.
Ben crump the biggest plant and crowd control agent their is
0:29 poor thing in the back is having a seizure, why was no one helping?

Why was that little girl making all those weird faces. Please dont invite her back up there next time. Very distracting
U gonna get justice
This is a Joke where is her home going service
Well said father!
If he felt threatened by the boiling water he could e told her to put it down
What about all the black on black deaths in Chicago just this year? Crickets?
The sister next to the dad looks just as crazy as she did
The first thing he pulled out was a gun like omg always black
Not the cop saying she attemted suicide smh at this point we dont need the police
As a black person this is really scary based on statistics of the racism and murders with corrupt cops getting away with things Better be glad the other officer had his camera on.
Usual suspect
Bruh…….. the girl next to the guy speaking is throwing me off 😂😂😂 err time I try to get angry about the situation here comes her with that “that part” face
