Current of 15 July 2024, the police in the US have shot and killed 1,166 people. Now make it 1,167. Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than White Americans. From 1952-2024, German law-enforcement personnel (municipal, state, federal) shot and killed a grand total of 529 people. These figures include the GDR (East Germany).

In one half the year, America has already doubled what took Germany 72 years to total.

Never call the police, they are not interested in helping you.
Why we are still paying them is a huge mystery to me.

Grayson had been with the Sangamon County Sheriff's Department about 18 months after serving as an officer with several other police agencies in central Illinois...

Who's betting dollars to donuts he has a history of being fired and rehired?

Nothing says unqualified ----- with unresolved anger issues like that statement.

These bad cops just keep bouncing around from department to department committing abuses against citizens until one ends up dead.

Gov Kinky Boots even advertised for these type of ---- to apply for police work in FloriDUH.

@#4 ... Nothing says unqualified ----- with unresolved anger issues like that statement. ...

The question that lingers out there link an unclaimed air biscuit...

Did Sangamon County not know his employment history?

If they did not, why did they not research it?

If they did, well, WTF????


More from the cited article...

... Prosecutors alleged that when Grayson and his partner responded to Massey's home, Grayson allowed her to move a pot of water heating on the stove, but as she set it on a counter, Grayson then "aggressively yelled" at Massey over the pot and pulled his 9mm pistol.

Massey then asked what the deputies were doing, to which Grayson responded, "Getting away from your hot, steaming water."

"I rebuke you in the name of Jesus," Massey said twice, according to the documents reviewed by NBC News.

Grayson responded, "I swear to God. I will shoot you right in your f------ face."

When Grayson drew his service weapon and ordered her to drop the pot, she let go, then crouched below a line of cabinets, and declared "I'm sorry" before being shot in the face, prosecutors said.

Grayson did not render aid to Massey and discouraged his partner from getting his medical kit because he thought her injury was too severe, according to the court document filed in support of keeping Grayson in custody without bond. ...

This works 90% of the time. Whenever you read an article about the police in America, substitute the word "Slave Patrol," to wit:

"A member of the Sangamon County Slave Patrol was charged with killing a Black woman..."

And as correctly surmised above, this maniac was previously employed by several other law-enforcement agencies. There is just no waking up from this American nightmare of police brutality.

Wow. This guy skipped round to 6 agencies in less than 4 years? I mean it is possible he was just job hopping for salary. Ya right. (Snark) So typical that the cop is yelling directions and doesn't make any sense (or give time to respond or multiple are yelling conflicting directions).

Dude has a rage problem and a badge and a gun with that resulted in a dare I say an obvious murder? Will his defense be the Chemo made me do it? No I don't think he is getting married this fall...

He's guilty as sin of murder.

She was 12' away and on the other side of a peninsula. No way would she have thrown a pot of water that far.

He's a bully, and soon-to-be convicted murderer.

The fact that he closed the gap instead of just backing away and deescalating is a central element of unwarranted police violence.

She was not a danger to him in the first place. But even if she was, he made the situation worse by getting closer.

Deescalation training needs to be mandatory annual event for police departments across the country.

NJ recently released a watchdog report that a training contractor taught hundreds of police officers nationwide the opposite of de-escalation, using racist and misogynist terms to profile minorities and deride handicapped people.

FTA:

"One instructor, former NYPD Detective Ralph Friedman, said killing people in the line of duty left him feeling "victorious" and that he was "batting .500" when he shot eight people, killing four, in his 13 incidents of excessive force."

I dont believe much of the political propaganda that is posted here. We live at a time where intelligent people are silenced so stupid people are not offended.So much of what those stupid people promote and tell us is all politics.

Examine the reality of Bidens DEI secret service and the leftist media that covers it up to protect the narrative. See what the Hamas foreign trash did to burn our flags and destroy our heritage. Expel everyone of them them back to their pathetic ME homeland. It is time to take our country back.
