* SJ-R…

A former Sangamon County Sheriff’s deputy charged with murder said he thought Sonya Massey was going throw boiling liquid on him and his partner on July 6 when they responded to Massey’s home for a possible prowler.

In his report, released by Sangamon County on Monday, Sean P. Grayson admitted that when Massey twice says “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” that “I interpreted this to mean she was going to kill me.” […]

The report was written on July 9, three days after the shooting.

Grayson had requested, and was given permission to review bodycam footage of the call.

Ugh.

* Here’s a video clip that covers the half minute before the shooting. Massey says what she says in an almost humorous manner. Even though I stop the video before the shooting, it’s still very difficult and traumatic to watch. There’s also profanity, so keep that in mind if you’re at work…

When she says “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” Grayson says “You better f-ing not or I swear to God I’ll f-ing shoot you right in your f-ing face.” And then he pulled his gun, she apologized, went to the floor and he shot her right in the face.

Evil.
