Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, July 31, 2024

As vigils and rallies crop up in cities across the U.S. in the wake of the Sonya Massey killing, records and accounts detailed in media reports have shed new light on the yearslong history of alleged misconduct of the former deputy charged with murder in the case, from multiple DUI arrests to alleged lying, deception and harassment. Sean Grayson fatally shot 36-year-old Massey at her home where he and another deputy were responding to a 911 call about a possible intruder on July 6. While Grayson did not turn on his body-worn camera until after he shot Massey, the other deputy's body camera captured the incident on video. The footage sparked national outrage, renewed calls for police reform and has stirred memories of the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

In May 2022, Grayson went to theLogan County Sheriff's Office before he was hired by the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office a year later.

While at the Logan County Sheriff's Office, a supervising officer rebuked Grayson for allegedly lying in reports and showing a general lack of integrity, according to a recording obtained by CBS News. "The sheriff and I will not tolerate lying or deception," the officer can be heard telling Grayson, later adding: "Officers (like you) have been charged and they end up in jail."

If this pig isn't the best possible argument for a national law enforcement database I don't know what is.

Just saw the body cam footage for the first time.

That guy was so eager to kill someone he moved around a countertop in front of another gun to get the shot.

He looks exactly like many of the cops here, complete with the standard issue beard and tacky tat sleeves. Probably has more than a few punisher skulls on his car and such.
