Before he gunned down a mother in her home, former sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson had a history of problems in the Army and another sheriff’s agency, records show.

Years before sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson gunned down Sonya Massey in her own home, he had been discharged from the Army for serious misconduct and had a history of driving under the influence, records show.

He also failed to obey a command while working for another sheriff’s office in Illinois and was told he needed “high stress decision making classes,” the agency’s documents reveal.

Grayson, who was a Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy before he was fired and charged with murder, responded to a report of a prowler at Massey’s home July 6. Bodycam footage from another deputy showed Massey saying she rebuked Grayson, and Grayson responded by threatening the 36-year-old. The exchange ended with Grayson shooting Massey and failing to render aid.

    Maybe you blocked the other person that asked me, but here’s what I told them:

    FDR got a lot of shit done.

    Even tho he wanted more and the two parties unified against him.

    An actually progressive president can guilt their party into progress, because he’ll go to their voters and flat out say the Dems they voted for is holding the whole country back, so next primary he’s supporting a challenger.

    Strangely enough, just the threat of that is often enough.

    Hell, Bernie is just a senator but that didn’t stop him from going to WV and telling voters that about Manchin.

    And Manchin started supporting the party more.

    Worked a hell of a lot better than Bidens strategy of publicly admitting he would even try to change someone’s mind.
