FEATURING CAT BROOKS - Marches and rallies were held across the United States this past Sunday July 28 to demand justice for the police killing of a Black woman named Sonya Massey near Springfield, Illinois. Massey, a mother, had called for help thinking there was an intruder in her home.
Body camera footage shows Illinois Sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson asking her to remove a pot of boiling water from her stove and then shot her in the face, killing her. Grayson also refused to issue immediate help as Massey lay dying. He was fired and has been charged with three counts of first degree murder.
Massey’s 4-year old cousin Terrell Miller had also been killed by law enforcement this past March. Prosecutors refused to charge the killer.
