Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.
In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.
Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.
She looks angry to you because you’re racist.
You cannot see what expression she has in that picture.
Did you not watch the video!?
Her behaviour. Her literal threats…
Her behavior!? She put her hands up and dropped to the floor pleading. The cop went from zero to a thousand in 3 seconds.
Fuck off with your dumb bullshit
All of the stuff she says … and her reaching for the water in the footage… The water goes flying because she had grabbed it again.
Did you not watch it?
What is all of the stuff she said? The Jesus thing that made the cop inappropriately dial to eleven and murder her? She’s half thier size and can barely move.
If the water went flying, it’s because he yelled he would fucking shoot her in the face and pointed his gun at her.
How stupid are you?
Considering she was on the ground, with her hands In front of her… How did the pot end up coming off the stove… unless she reaches up to grab it when they shot… yaknow, like you can see her doing in the footage.
So you claim the water went flying because he yelled… She wasn’t touching it when he yelled.
Are you claiming it’s rational to reach for and grab the pot of boiling water in that situation…because he yelled?
You’re claiming justification of murder - how do you expect people to take you seriously?
I don’t understand why you are being so rude.
If you watch the footage, it makes complete sense.
And most importantly, there is zero evidence that her race has anything to do with it at all.
Your lax attitude towards murder is not helping your case about whether race matters. You don’t seem to value life.
Fuck off
Wow. Reporting. No need for that. If i make more sense than you there’s no need to lash out your upset at me.
Reporting what? That I’m not a racist asshole defending a cop committing murder on camera?
