Body-camera footage showing the fatal police shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman who had called 911 for help, was released Monday in a case that has led to murder charges against a deputy.
She clearly said it as a joke, she was all scrambled and anxious, as evidenced by her trying to do like 4 things at once 60 seconds prior to the shooting her murder. When talking to the deputy in person, their supervisor on the phone, getting her ID, getting her Insurance paperwork, and at this time the deputy asked her to remove the pot of boiling water from the stove. As she got it off the burner, she chuckles and asks why the officer is moving away from her. The officer chuckles as well, saying he’s trying to get away from the steaming water. Then, out of fucking NOWHERE, the deputy unholsters his gun and points it at her, saying “he’ll shoot her in the fucking face.”
Your interpretation is wrong, and I’m confident in labeling you an insufferable asshole.
Dawg, what? We’re on the same side here. I tried to relay a neutral chain of events, and then linked the actual source so people could watch it for themselves. I don’t know how I could have been more unbiased.
In no world am I supporting what was clearly an unnecessary 0-100 escalation of force. Your comment seems like a similar escalation of force, ironically.
I mean shit, there’s no way they’re in range of her heaving that water even if that were her intentions. She would have had to round the corner of her counter just to get within effective water tossing range, he had so much time to assess and not shoot and he shot like she had a gun aimed at him. Shameful cowardice.
