      Apologies, I didn't intend to minimize what happened. I am fully aware this was murder. I went ahead and changed what I said up top, thanks for the criticism.

    Holy fuck, that was just straight murder

    She was making some kind of joke or something after the cops started ordering her around, then the cops interpreted it as some kind of threat ????? and pulled their guns

    Her last words in the video were "I'm sorry"

    I am in tears this is so fucked up :(

    How fast can a little old lady move with a pot of boiling water that requires you to "stand your ground" instead of just... walking out the front door?

    It is unclear why Grayson changed jobs so frequently and CNN has reached out to the other law enforcement agencies for more information.

    Four other police departments are breathing a sigh of relief right now.

        Cop: Hey, could you turn off that pot of boiling water?

        Lady in her own home: Sure.

        Cop: OH SHIT, SHE'S COMING RIGHT AT US!

    Wtf?

    1. She takes the boiling pot to the sink to empty it and the cop runs away.

    2. She mockingly asks "Where you going?" because it's obviously clownish that he just ran away from her like that. Genuinely fucking ridiculous behaviour to assume she was going to do something nasty with it.

    3. Dude says it straight that he's running from her with the pot of water.

    4. She says "I rebuke you in the name of jesus", very obviously calling him out for racism.

    5. They interpret this as a threat that she's about to throw the pot on them and shoots her in the head for it, when it very obviously was not that.

      They just wanted an excuse to murder someone, no matter how bad it is. Had the other guy also ""forgotten"" to turn his cam on I bet this would have worked, too.

      It's cut out of the video CNN posted, but I (unfortunately) saw a different cut on twitter that showed the actual shooting. The first thing the non-shooter does after the murder is tell the shooter that his camera was running, clearly implying THAT was the actual problem of what just happened.

        That's the first thing they even talk about after, the one guy saying his cam was on lol

        This kind of shit is happening constantly. Why the fuck can they even turn the cam off

        That's a "oh fuck this murder just happened on cam".

        Dude that actually shot her probably thought both were off, knowing full well his was off. Other dude probably wouldn't have opened fire knowing his was on.

        DO NOT call the police. They will and can just come into your home and shoot you over anything and have immunity from the court. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but especially if you're black as we see here in the footage they can and will kill you over nothing.

          My favorite line on this subject: only call the police when the situation would be improved by the addition of an easily frightened maniac with a gun.

          That is to say, usually don't.

            I did a job training thing for a hospital. The guy specifically went over how in case of emergency the police will not help. They won't come and if they do they won't help. That guy was rad as hell. We sat around for like 20 minutes talking abit about the police.

              That's pretty much what we received in case of a patient or visitor trying to kill you, you're gonna be on your own or with your mod buddies (i.e. hospital section) so flee or fight them to kill them.

    all cops should be literally tarred and feathered - i'm talking the real shit too, but boiling hot tar is almost too kind of a torture than these assholes deserve.

    SHE CALLED YOU!!! WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT HER EVEN IF SHE WAS AGITATED (SHE FUCKING WASN'T) - JUST LEAVE. SHE CALLED YOU AND YOU SHOOT HER IN THE HEAD (AND LITERALLY LET HER DIE INSTEAD OF 'WASTING' A MEDICAL KIT)

    Can't wait to hear about how actually she made a football move with the pot of water and it was completely justified to murder her.

    ACAB now and forever. Police are useless except for killing dogs and people experiencing altered mental status.

    Comrade, can you please say her name in the title of the post.

    Her name was Sonya Massey and she was murdered by a racist pig

    Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but pause the video with the guy whose bodycam this is where his right arm is outstretched (at 36 seconds); very interesting tattoo there; of German origin perhaps?

      It looks like an adaptation of Aegishjalmur, a Norse rune of protection, with the symbols modified a bit. To what effect I'm not sure, but taken in context I don't believe they're there for a wholesome reason, especially knowing how fond white supremacists are of Nordic mythology and symbolism

    If you're afraid someone is going to throw boiling water at you, simply leave? Move out of thrown pot of water range? What the fuck is wrong with cops that not only do they go out of their way to murder people like this, but they (successfully) make up these ridiculous fucking excuses for why it was totally necessary?

    I would sentence this guy to literally being boiled to death if I were the king or whatever

      I think the charges are gonna keep most people at home. "Atleast he's gonna rot in jail" type mindsets.

    Wow what a piece of shit, the smug look on his face in the mugshot tells you everything you need to know.
