The liberal media and the police Killing of Sonya Massey
I didnt give much thought on the title but I wanted to see if people actually took the time to watch the police body cam footage. I mentioned the media because nobody seems to want to talk about the obvious. This cop is still locked up as far as i know and everyone seems to be villainizing him. I actually took the time to watch the video in slow motion and you can clearly see that the lady 100% intended on throwing boiling water on him. There is no dispute on that yet nobody wants to say it for fear of upsetting an all too familiar narrative. If you watch the video you will clearly see that the woman drops to floor holding only her oven mitts. The pot is sitting on the counter. The officers arm obstructs the bodycam up until the last second where you see the woman holding the pot and throwing it at the cop. I just dont understand how in the freeist country in the world not a peep is being mentioned about this. You can say well the cop should have dropped back or ran and thats a valid argument but what you dont do is pretend that this lady was innocent when it seems to be an instance of a very troubled lady choosing to die at the hands of a cop. I will try to link the video below if that is cool with mods. It's not graphic. It will be the last 5-6 seconds and you obviously need to watch it in slow motion. It is the bodycam of the cop who shoots her. You have to realize he is only about 5 feet from her and his arm blocks a good chunk of the crucial 5-6 seconds. He is lucky his arm didnt block the whole thing or he would be spending the rest of his life in prison.
you could get me on board probably more than others here when it comes to defending cops but that was straight up murder.
Let's not forget the real criminals here though, the l1BrUL m3diA.
I've never watched the video until now.
2 grown-ass men shouldn't have to shoot a woman "attacking" them with hot water.
Also the phrase "I'll shoot you right in the ****ing face" shouldn't be said by a police officer trying to de-escalate any situation.
not to mention that if that poor old lady tried to douse me with boiling water from that distance i'm fairly certain i'd be able to avoid it. it's not like she had a hose with a sprayer.
If some psycho points a gun at me and says he's going to shoot me in the face, I will 100% try to defend myself with whatever option I have available. They murdered her for nothing.

You are not realizing that the lady intended on throwing a pot of boiling water onto a cop. or do you realize it just and dont care becasue the cop dropped some F bombs?
I'd prefer him just letting her pour it out in the sink like she was going to until he escalated the situation and shot her dead.
again you are not buying that he correctly deduced that the lady was intenting on throwing a pot of water at him. You dont need oven mits to turn off a burner.

You need oven mitts to carry that type of pot. It is ceramic and has ceramic handles that heat up. I have one just like it.
And she was intending to pour out the water until he threatened to shoot her in the face. She was terrified and reacted like many human beings would when faced with an imminent threat of death. It NEVER should have reached that point, and the cop was 100% responsible for why it got there.
Police are meant to protect and serve, not dominate and murder, the citizenry.
It is not unrelated that also in Illinois they are actively covering up the murder of a 4 year old child, Terrill Miller, murdered by police. I am naturally assuming he posed no physical threat to the officers.
This woman didn't either. That cop is a psychopath who should go to jail where he belongs.

How do we know they're liberal? Well, they don't share my extreme right wing bias, of course.

It is not
Why the **** would she be pouring out the water? please dont say "because she was scared"

HE told her to check on the pot and said “we don’t need a fire around here”. She went to the stove to turn it off.
He stepped back and she asked why, he said it was bc he was worried about the hot water; she said she’ll pour it out and moved to do so by picking up the pot and taking it to the sink
And she was intending to pour out the water until he threatened to shoot her in the face.
She says something to the officer that he responds to with "I'll shoot you in the ****ing face". I can't make out what it is.
Perhaps after her words the officer says something like, "Ma'am, please don't threaten us. Pour the water out and we'll continue with our conversation". De-escalate the situation, it's quite simple and every officer should be taught this.
