Grayson has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bond until his trial is set to begin
Holy shit, is this real life? Consequences?!
Let’s wait to see if he’s convicted.
The video is damning as hell.
If they let him walk, the correct course of action is to barricade the doors to the police station and burn it down with the livestock inside.
"Consequences for my actions? But that's for poor people, like menial jobs and cholera!"
wtf... did my time line just switched? cop did a crime and it was taken seriously?
I noticed another comment that mentioned he had been working for a few departments over the years, so probably he just did too much finally. Mean don't get me wrong I'm happy an officer is being charged for crimes committed but I'm guessing there're reasons he has a longer work history and probably shouldn't have been hired multiple times in the past. Again this was off a comment so maybe the information isn't accurate but when it's so easy to believe is a pretty bad situation of police officers in general.
He had been hired by Sangamon county despite two charges of driving under the influence, the Springfield State Journal-Register reported, and had worked for other law enforcement agencies in Illinois for seven years before arriving in Springfield.
From the linked article
I'd like to know which departments he worked at before.
thanks for sharing, to my skeptical ass that makes way more sense, ie bosses knew what they need to do for CYA, no union gonna do shit about it.
I guess it is still a small win, but a big L, this woman is dead. That is not good enough!
its not consequences until hes convicted.
until then its just vacation
Yeah well he filmed it didn't he the idiot. You have to let the authorities have plausible deniability everyone knows that.
He actually didn’t turn on his body cam until after he shot her, IIRC.
The video is from his partner/other cop on the scene. He didn't even have his body cam on until after.
This is a person who wanted to shoot people and got his chance.
Sean Grayson - Killed a woman who was cowering in fear after threatening him, he told her he would shoot her and then he did while she had her hands up saying “I’m sorry”
Let's see the tats. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to find, though.
She wasn't threatening him, though. She said she rebukes him in the name of Jesus, jokingly.
Yeah, I guess I didn’t understand the tonality there.
That’s even worse
Authorities have released shocking video that shows a white police officer in Illinois shooting a Black woman – who called police in fear of a home intruder – in the face, killing her.
"scared for muhh life" trick don't appear to work anymore?
these body cameras really making policing a hard job...
That footage is terrible. I'm tired of Police as a collective being rewarded with funding increases for their racism and bloodlust. RIP Sonya.
She threatened him with boiling water… so he got closer to her?
And proceeded to shoot her in the face. WTH...
She made him out for what he is the second she answered the door and said "please dont hurt me"
Truly disgusting. Hopefully Grayson remains behind bars for a life sentence, but that wont bring anyone back.
DISGUSTING! Cops can't even LITERALLY SHOOT PEOPLE IN THE FACE anymore thanks to DEI and WOKENESS!
-Pro Life Republican.
Huh, I saw this on 4chan earlier today, I thought it was old
