  Speaker 1: everyone be respectful of everyone's opinions. I do ask that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: let's take the emotional part out of it and let's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: leave with facts tonight, because every everyone is is we're
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on on high alert right now. I see people that
• 2:59

• 3:02
  Speaker 1: about what has happened with miss Sonya Massy. But again
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: here on black Girl interrupted, y'all do forgive me. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: forgot to change the colors that tonight we remember Sanya Massy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We will go into detail because there has been new things,
• 3:21

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: agencies in four years, was dishonorably discharged from the military,

• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna need it. I just let let me.

  Speaker 1: you doing tonight? Good to see you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It really never gets easy to do episodes like this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Let me let me complete my thought. As someone that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: has marched and protests protested against police brutality, it still
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: never gets easier to tell these stories. It never gets
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: easier to lead with facts unless emotion. As many times
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: as I've watched that video from every angle that has
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: been released, Sonya Massy should still be alive. Let me
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: say that we're gonna get through this episode tonight. We're
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: definitely gonna get through it. But before we even dive
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: into tonight's conversation, I want to do my mental health checking.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Anyone that knows me, you know, I always do something encouraging, empowering, uplifting,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: because again, you never know what a person is going through.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You don't know what a person's mental state is So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I always try to place something to encourage somebody, to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: let somebody know that they are loved, that they are
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: thought about, that we're thinking about you, we're checking in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: with you. M mm hmm. But we're gonna get through this.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I promise we're gonna get through tonight's episode. Hey Gerald,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: good to see you, my love. Yes, absolutely, she should
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: still be here, along with a Tatiana Jefferson, along with

• 6:36
  Speaker 1: along with Lawana Phillips, Rakia Boyd. The list goes on
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and on and on and on and on. So many names,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: so many lives unjustly taken by the very same people
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: again that are supposed to protect and serve. So I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: want to get everyone in a clear state of mind.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I want to just encourage somebody. I just want to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: love on somebody today. I don't know who needs it,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but I just want to love on somebody that they
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that you matter.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that, excuse me,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that you are thought about, you are appreciated, and you're
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job. So let's get into our mental
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: health check in. Please drop in the comments let me
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: know how you feeling today. Again, Happy Thursday. Tonight we
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: will be discussing the unfortunate death of Miss Signia Massey
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: again thirty six years old from Springfield, Illinois, who was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: unjustly taken from us at the hands of Sean Grayson,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a thirty year old former police deputy that was called
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: What is the common denominator of failure? Why are you failing?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: You never say because of me. Oh, it's the competition,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: it's the economy, it's the president, it's congressman.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: If you wake up tomorrow morning.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And blame your failure on someone or something else.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: You have no reason to change, do you. But if
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: you woke up in the morning.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And looked in the mirror and said, I am failing
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: because of me, the decisions that I make, the energy
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I put in, I'm not passing the blame. If you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: look in the mirror tomorrow and say that, you will change.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Because nobody likes thinking of themselves as a.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Winners win and lose ers lose. And if you create
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: a culture of losing, if you keep being a victim,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: if you keep letting losing happen to you, If you
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: keep letting people do you and treat you any kind
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: of way, it's going to become a culture.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Take ownership.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Take ownership of everything in your world, the good and
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: the bad. Don't make excuses, don't blame any other person
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: or any other thing.
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: Take ownership of your mistakes.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Take ownership of your short falls. Take ownership of your problems,
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: and then take ownership of the solutions that will get
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: those problems solved. Take ownership of your job, of your team,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: of your future, and take ownership of your life.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: The people in life that wins. Play off. It's not defense.
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: Stop backing into everything. Stand up, bolde your back a
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: little bit, start to walk a little different, Start to
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: be a best version of you. You can do it
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: in your quiet way, you can do it the way
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: you do it. But somehow they gotta look at you and.
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: Go, okay, I want monkey with that one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: You push back.
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: You to get obsessed.
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: You gotta get relentless.
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: You gotta be a road doll.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: You gotta get intense. You gotta have a permeating attitude
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: that you're gonna win. You get an a positive out look.
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: You gotta be optimistic. You gotta know you're gonna win.
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: You gotta right now, I said I'm gonna win.
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna win.
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: My life is gonna win. This gonna be a victorious
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: life here because listen to me, the price you pay
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: for losing here is too extremely.
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: You have to carry the burden.
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: Of failure the rest of your life.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: As we begin to elevate ourselves and not to follow
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: the crowd, activating the thinker in us and disciplining and
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: putting on hold the emotional part of ourselves. It's not easy,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: but through practice and practice and practice, practice makes improvement,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: you can always better your best. You can always go beyond.
• 11:00
  Speaker 11: Anything that you have ever done. You never hit a
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: state of perfection.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: You're always bigger than what you do, and so are
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you're looking for new breakthroughs. Through practice and practice and practice,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: you'll get better and better and better. Something you should
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: affirm to yourself every day.
• 11:17
  Speaker 14: Repeat this, please, no matter how bad it is or
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: how bad it guess, I'm going to make it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: The people that make it in this world look around
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: for the circumstances that they wanted.
• 11:28
  Speaker 14: That they can't find them, they create them. It's hot,
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: no easy, it's not an option, however, ladies, and gentlemen,
• 11:34
  Speaker 14: what you will discover it is that it's worth It
• 11:39
  Speaker 14: takes cuts. You gotta dig down deep and cut it out,
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: keep going, going again and again it again. I tell you,
• 11:46
  Speaker 14: make it happen because you know that is possible and
• 11:50
  Speaker 14: you are the determining factor.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: H I always always have I don't know what it is.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I always find the videos that always hit close the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: home man. Like, like I said, I think this is
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the best part of the show. It's at the beginning.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's when I do the mental health check ins, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I'm always playing something encouraging, empowering, uplifting. I mean, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: don't think y'all realize how much that helps me to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: help y'all. You know, like some days I need to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: hear that too. So let's not make it seem like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I don't need to hear that, because baby, let me
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: tell you, fuck, I'll be forgetting who I am some days.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Some days I forget my purpose. Some days I wake
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: up and I'm just like damn, you know, but it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: always good to get the confirmation those not the confirmation,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: those affirmations to confirm that you're doing a great job
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and to never give up. I know it gets hard.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I know it's easier saying than done, but y'all, we
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: gotta keep going. Man. The finish line is always closer
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: than we think, and we think it's so far away
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: when really it's right in our face. So we gotta
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: shape back. So it's imperative that I do these mental
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: health check ins at the start of every show, because
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I do want people to know that I love you,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that I'm here for you, I'm concerned about you, I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: care about you, and I want to see you win.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So that's why I do these mental health check ins.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And then they help me too, because Bavid Lord knows
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: what goes through my mind on a daily basis. But
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: y'all keep dropping in a common let me know how
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you're feeling. Like I say, happy Thursday. We are one
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: day away from the weekend. I don't know what everyone's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: plans are, but I do ask that everyone please continue
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to stay safe. To the people that are still recovering,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: excuse me from Hurricane Barrel. I'm still sending lots of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: love and lots of prayers your way as those that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know my mother was affected by Barrels, So keep praying

• 14:56
  Speaker 1: are now familiar, I'm pretty sure everyone has now seen
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the video. We're gonna go ahead and jump into tonight's conversation.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want y'all to feel like I don't care
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: how you feel your emotions. But tonight's episode I ask
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in the most humble way fashion, please be respectful of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: everyone's comments and everyone's thoughts and everyone's opinions with regards
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to the murder of Miss Sonya Massy. Miss Sonya Massy
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: was a thirty six year old mother of two from Springfield, Illinois.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Let's remember that first and foremost. Okay, because I know
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: how some of your people like to get oh, what
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: she should have done, We're not gonna do that tonight. Tonight,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna try to do this with facts and not feelings.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I know it's hard, to take the emotional part out
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of it. But let's try to get through this conversation tonight.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Let's try to get through this show tonight on the facts.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna break down the video. I have the whole
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: video from start to finish, thirty six minutes and fourteen
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: seconds from the time that the police officers arrived to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the events that led up to the unfortunate shooting of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Miss Sonia Massey and then the aftermath. I do post
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I will post the trigger warning because the footage can
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: be very disturbing to some. I do ask that if
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you are easily triggered, please go ahead and remove yourself
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: from the live tonight, because I really truly want to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: get into this because I've again, I've looked at this video,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the body cam footage, from every angle imaginable. I've looked
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: at it from every angle that they have posted. I've
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: looked at it from every angle that is known to mankind.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I've zoomed in, I've slowed it down, and I still
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and again, this is my humble opinion, Sonya Massy should
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: still be here. Let me say that Sonya Massy should
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: still be here among the living with us. Sonya Massey's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: life should not have been taken. Sonya Massy again, a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: thirty six year old mother of two from Springfield, Illinois,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: our township. I'm so sorry. My apologies who on the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: morning or evening night of July sixth call to report
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: she had heard sounds outside of her home. My biologies, y'all.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Officer Greyson and his partner. They have yet to release
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the name of the partner that was with Sean Greyson
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: on the night or morning of July sixth, arrived at
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the home of Sonya Mee Massey. They checked the premises
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and they cleared, stating there was no one outside. They
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: didn't see anybody. They then proceeded, you know, to ask
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: her questions, was she okay mentally things like that. Once
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: they cleared the premises and stated that there was no
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: one there, they clearly should have left, but Sean Grayson
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: proceeded to ask her questions about an issue, a black
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: issue V that was parked in front of her home.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: It had nothing to do with why she even called.
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: Nine to one.
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: One.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Give me just I just need maybe five or ten seconds.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Let me just.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Because we're gonna get into the video again, y'all. It
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: never gets easier for me to do episodes like this.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I don't like.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Doing them, but we have to keep bringing awareness to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: police brutality. We have to stop sweeping stuff like this
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: under the rug. We have to start holding these police
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: officers accountable and they should be disqualified from immunity. But
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: we'll save that for another conversation. So I do have
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a warning post it. Viewer discretion is advised. Some viewers
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: may find the following video very disturbing. Again, as we
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: get into the video, I do ask for those that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: have not seen the video or those that do not
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: want to see the video, I do ask that you
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: remove yourself from the live It's already okay. Please brace yourself,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen for what you are about to see.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I will go through the video step by step. We
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: will watch, we will break things down, we will discuss,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and again, I do ask that everyone that is tuned
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: in watching please be respectful of the other people that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: are tuned in watching as well as their opinions. I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: will tolerate no disrespect. Let me say that right now,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: there will be no disrespect on Black Girl Interrupted podcast.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: If there is any form of disrespect, I will remove
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you and you will not be able to participate in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the live the rest of the night. Here we go,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: as we jump into the video. The video that I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: am about to play documents from start to finish. It
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: starts from the time the police arrive to the shooting,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and then to the aftermath. Again, let me go ahead
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and post this trigger warning again, viewer discretion is advised.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Some viewers may find this video very disturbing, but let's
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: get into it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: So on July the six let me go ahead and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: go through everything that's gonna take place in the video.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: So on July the sixth, we have Sonya Massey who
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: at twelve to fifty eight m I'm so sorry in
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: my apology. So, on July sixth, at twelve fifty am,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the deputies did respond to a nine to one one
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: call making contact with Miss Sonya Massey at her residence.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So during the interaction inside the home of Miss Massey,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: former Deputy Sean Grayson discharged his firearm, striking Miss Massey
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and killing her. Please know that there were three shots fired,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: one of which hit Miss Massey in the face. From
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: what we do know, Sean Grayson did not have his
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: body cam on it was only after the shooting death
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: was when he then activated his body cam. I do
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: want to say shout out to former President Barack Obama
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: for the enforcement of body cameras. So again, on July sixth,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: at one three am, the Sangamon County Shrif's Office notified
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the ISP, which is the Illinois State Police and requests
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of assistance to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: death of Miss Sonya Massi. Again, Sonya Massi, thirty six
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: year old mother of two, would call nine one one
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: for reports of thinking she heard a proud outside of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: her home. So we moved forward almost two weeks after
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the shooting death that on July seventeenth, the Sangamon County
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: State's Attorney Office. State's Attorney's Office presented evidence from ISP's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: independent investigation, which included the following BWC footage of the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: shooting to the Grand Jury of Singaman County, Illinois. On
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: July seventeenth. The grand jury did return a true bill
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: of indictment charging the former Singamon County Shriffs Deputy Sean
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Grayson with three counts of first degree murder, one count
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of aggravated battery with a firearm, and one count of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: official misconduct, so they moved very swiftly. After the shooting
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: death of Miss Sonya Massey, charges were brought. Sean Grayson
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: has been indicted and is now being held with no bill.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Let's continue you all, as you guys know, there's no
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: sounding at this moment, but as it continues on, the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: sound will.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Will play.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: So right now, it's just the introduction of just everything,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the timeline of everything that's been going on. So here
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we go. Let me kind of skipped through. Here we are,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: so this is again this is a warning. The video
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: does contain graphic video content, so viewer discussion is advised
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: again at this time. Anyone that is not seeing the video,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: or anyone that is not interested in seeing the video,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: go ahead, and I will allow a minute or so
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: before I roll the video to go ahead and leave
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the life if you are easily triggered, or if you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: do not want to see the video to relift or
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: rehash what happened to Missigia Massy on July the sixth.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: So here we go. For those that know, only one
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: of the officer's body cam was activated. I don't know
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: if you can even hear the sound. Let's see if
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I can get it to where y'all can hear the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: sound on this. Give me just a moment, ladies and gentlemen.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the sound is not Okay, Let's
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: try this again because I want you guys to be
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: able to hear the sound. So let me try to share.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Let's try this again, all right, y'all. I got the sound,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: all right, So here we go. So y'all at the beginning. Okay,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: here are the rest of so again. On July seventeenth,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and a rest warrant was issued for Sean Grayson and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: he was taken into custody also on July seventeenth. At
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that time, the family were brought in to view the video.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Also on July eighteenth, Circuit Judge Ryan kadasion I hope
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I pronounced the last name correctly, order Sean Grayson to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be detained pending trial. The chargers are not evidenced against
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the defendant, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So on the day that the indictment was handed down,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a restaurant was issued. Grayson was arrested, taken into custody
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and is being held without bond. And again the timeline
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: is still on the screen at this moment. Here we
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: go as the video starts to play. So at this
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: particular moment, you cannot hear any sound. You should be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: able to. I don't know why you can't. Hmm there,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: all right, so it sounds okay. So in this particular moment,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you see them searching around her house. Again, you hear
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: no sound, but you do see them searching because again
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Miss Sonia Massey did call stating that she heard sounds
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: outside of her house. Maybe there was a prowler out there.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Who knows. So again again in this current moment, uh,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: they're searching, they're looking, you know, again, they're trying to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: see if anyone there. We go sound here on the body.
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah, mhm, m hm. Yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. So again this is not the bodycam of Seawan Greason. Again,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Sean Greeason did not activate his bodycam until after after
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So we're seeing the bodycam from the second officer that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: was with Sean Greason at MS Massey's home. This is
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: we're seeing the bodycam of the other officer. This is
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: not Sean Greason. As you see those that are tuned
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: in that can actually see me streaming live. You do
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: see him in front of the shop, well behind Shawn
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Greason my bio. Jeez, but this is the BodyCount of
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the officer who will whose name has yet to be released.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: And again you still see them searching around the house
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: trying to see is anyone out there?
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: H m hmm, yeah, yeah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And again you still see them searching the premises, and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: again we do not see anyone outside. We don't see
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a problem, We don't see anything disturbed or disrupted around
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the whole. So now it seems to me as if
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: they are now walking to her front door as we're
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: about to see the interaction between Sonya Massey and former
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Deputy Sean Grayson. Again they're still looking. Oh shit, they've
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: encountered a black as shoev and I believe the windows
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: were busted out. Yeah, so this could have been the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: noise that she heard. And at this time, y'all, it
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: has not been released whether or not this was her vehicle.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Was this the neighbor's vehicle. We don't know whose vehicle
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: that was. So again we just witnessed the officers seeing
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a black ISSUEV looks like it was parked on the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: side of her home with the windows busted out. So
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: now here we are going into the encounter encounter. Let
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: me go ahead and pulse just a moment. So now
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: we are about to go into the encounter of former
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Deputy Shawn Grayson and Sonya mat say as you hear
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: he's knocking on the door. So he has now cleared
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the premises and said, you know, hey, we don't see anybody,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and the interaction continues. Here we go and again this
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: is not Sean Greyson knocking on the door. This is
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the other officer. We see Sean Greyson coming up to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the porch. We see him walking around again. This body footage,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the bodycam footage is only from one officer. This is
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: not from Officer Greyson. This is not from him, but
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: we do see him coming up to the porch. We
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: do see the second officer knocking on the door very calmly,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: So let's continue on.
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: There's a bike sitting back.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: There where on the back door.
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: I don't know if it's her.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Tap it something.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: Pretty nice.
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: Any contact with us got something through a breacher.
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: You don't try and call her seventeen doctor and.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Let her know where out from?
• 36:33
  Speaker 16: Yes, mess that up, do you a thun rainger. Mm hmm,
• 37:03
  Speaker 16: you didn't somebody out walking that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 17: Way to no, not when I came in, I didn't
• 37:06
  Speaker 17: see nobody out leading.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: So again we do hear the exchange between the two officers.
• 37:15
  Speaker 18: They're patiently leading us from the doors.
• 37:27
  Speaker 19: Just dead man, hope.
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: Is this a ring?
• 37:34
  Speaker 12: Go though?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't worked out.
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: Uh hh.
• 37:46
  Speaker 20: Shure's office two houses down out time.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, I would say, yeah, I'll putty drugs up.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: So you hear them. You hear one of the officers
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: insinuate maybe she's putting drugs up.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I think some people may have missed that, but they
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: insinuated maybe she's putting drugs up. And in this moment
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you could see officer, the former officer, Deputy Grayson, almost
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: like he's getting irritated. So let's continue on.
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Uh she was yelling inside, hold on, you're coming to
• 38:58
  Speaker 19: the door.
• 38:58
  Speaker 21: Knopah, all right, hurry up.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, now here's this irritability, the aggravation again. In this moment,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Sean Grayson is not activated as bodycam y'all okay, in
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: this moment he has not done that. The other officer
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: is the only officer whose bodycam was activated. The only officer.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: So we're seeing this footage from the second officer's body camp.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: This is not office. This is not Sean Grayson's body camp.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: This is from the second officer that was on the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: scene with Greyson during this. Uh, dispatcher, I'm sorry. The
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: call to Signia mass his home. They're trying to figure
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: out what's taking so long.
• 40:05
  Speaker 21: Sheriff's office the one you call?
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: How do you valuate?

  Speaker 15: And now I need to valere you?

  Speaker 17: Yeah, we checked your house. We checked your backyard.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: I walked all the way through all these backyards.
• 41:07
  Speaker 17: We checked your front yard.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: We didn't see nobody.
• 41:10
  Speaker 17: Nobody's out here. You didn't no, nope, checked the whole area.

  Speaker 17: Will take you so long to answer the door. Oh,

• 41:45
  Speaker 9: Mhmm.
• 41:46
  Speaker 17: You'll know if someone just parked it in your driveway.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: They brought it to my driveway and just left it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 23: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah.
• 41:58
  Speaker 13: Twenty player.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: David married four three, five, five six.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, So it's it's in this moment that he overlooked
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that she said she needed help. You could
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: tell she was a little confused, maybe a little disoriented.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: You still see that she has a hospital band on
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: her arm. We don't know if maybe she went to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the did she go to a doctor appointment earlier that day?
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Did she go to the hospital. We don't know, But
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: he overlooked that when he asked her was she okay mentally,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: and she said, yeah, I took my medicine and she
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: thanked them. I love y'all. At no time did this
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: woman ever posed a threat to these offices. She explained
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: why she was, why it took us so long to
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: come to the door. She was trying to put on clothes. Okay,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: in that moment when she said, oh no, that's not
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: my SUV. I don't know whose it is, they should
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: have left in that moment. But it's almost like Sean
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Grayson pushed to escalate the situation with her. So let's
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: continue on and break this down. And you hear the
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: fire Those are fireworks, ladies and gentlemen. Those are the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: fireworks in the background. And as you see again the
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: body cam footage, this is still the second officer. So
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: now we see Grayson entering her home. Here's the second
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: officer coming in behind. Because now at this point he's
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: asked for her ID for what we don't know, kah,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: but here we go.

• 45:21
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, wait, yeah, they're here, but wait Sonya, massy.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Miss Sonya did not sound like she felt safe. She
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: said hold on, hold on multiple times, and the officer
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: kept saying, oh, no, hang up the phone, hang up
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the phone, hang up the phone.

• 51:55
  Speaker 1: that moment Grayson activated his body cam footage. But we're

  Speaker 1: way ever. Thank you for treating her like a human being.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you for doing all that you could do to
• 54:17

  Speaker 1: but to Grayson, Oh, I'm gonna save my thoughts for
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the end.
• 54:37
  Speaker 15: Mm.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: It was in this moment, where's that come on?
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: That I couldn't understand what took you so long to
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: go get your med kit. It was the lack of
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: empathy after this was unjust. You escalated a situation that
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: didn't even need to beat. You pull your you had
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: your hand on your gun. You're tolder, you shoot she
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: better not. You gonna shoot her in the fucking face.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: That's what you said to her. And then after you
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: fire three shots, one of which hit Miss Massy, you said,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: oh she's done, just just leave her out, let her bleed.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: You didn't want to render aid. You wanted her to
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: You wanted her to die. You treated this woman like
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: she was trash. So let's get a GA says. I
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: usually don't curse on your platform. So that motherfucking cod
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: knew we fucked up. He knew it was going to
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: be consequences, which it was. His ass was charged with
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: second degree murder. I believe his first degree. I believe
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: he was. He was charged with three counts of first
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: degree murder, three counts along with aggravated assault with a
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: firearm and one count of official misconduct. Uh so here
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: we go. Let's continue on, and now you're comeback. It
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: seems what.
• 56:58
  Speaker 17: She's still gasping a little bit. We got any that's
• 57:01
  Speaker 17: coming back.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Ten minutes maybe.
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: Up there?
• 57:08
  Speaker 22: Do you're right right there.
• 57:14
  Speaker 12: Where he came in before.
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: All right, I'm not even waste my med stuff.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Then and then he proceeds to say, I'm not gonna
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: even waste my med stuff. Arrogance.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: No diet right house is clear. She was the only one.
• 57:39
  Speaker 17: Where's the gun?
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: No, she had a boiling water and came at me
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: with boiling water. You sah.
• 57:46
  Speaker 27: She said she was gonna rebuke me in the name
• 57:47
  Speaker 27: of Jesus and came out with boling water.
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: That's what all this is. I'm staying right here, all right,
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: that's where she's wareing.
• 57:53
  Speaker 12: Did you need for a month?
• 57:57
  Speaker 22: Nothing?
• 57:57
  Speaker 12: Right now?
• 57:58
  Speaker 14: Just hang out.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: So all because kids said I rebuke you in the
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Your devil was Satan was activated. She
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: activated the demon in this man. This woman knew that
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: that was the devil in her home. This woman knew,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: she felt it in her soul, she felt it in
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: her spirit, and you could hear it in her voice
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: when she said when she told the dispatcher, wait, wait, wait,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, And as a dispatcher,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: from my understanding, from what was told to me, you're
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: not supposed to hang up. You're supposed to still hold on.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: You could tell in that moment that Miss Sonya did
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: not feel safe with those officers in her home. Because
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: you heard her when she said, can you hand in
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: my Bible? She knew Satan had walked in her door.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: She knew it.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: If Nssnya didn't know anything else, Babe, she knew Satan
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: had walked in her door. And you were far enough
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: away the water wouldn't have even hit you. Y'all were
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: closer to the door. Why didn't you discharge your taser?
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: You immediately went for your gun. The excessive force was
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely unwarranted. Sus said, she didn't activate no demon. She
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: recognized the demon in him. That's why she rebukes his ass.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: And yet that's what I mean when I say when
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: she said I rebuke you in Jesus' name. It activated
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: that demon in him. She already knew he was the devil.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: She knew Satan had walked in her door because she said, God,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: bless you, I love y'all, Thank y'all. And when she
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: was sitting on a sofa, because again she appeared very disoriented,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: she'd said, can you him and my Bible? So she knew,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: she knew that that man had a demonic spirit.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: She knew it.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Hmhm babyhead.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: Sm So in.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: This moment, we're still waiting on that on EMTs to arrive.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: We do see the other officers still applying pressure.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, message un.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: She's still gasping.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, no sense of urgency, no empathy. It's okay, okay,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: she's gasping.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Fair Now what.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: And what what you want me to do? This is
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: the behavior that he has displayed. I want to kind
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: of skip through a little bit, just kind of speed
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. So again, in this moment,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: we're still waiting on em t's second officer is still
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: applying pressure to the wound to try to control the bleeding.
• 1:01:32

  Speaker 12: All right?

  Speaker 12: Yeph.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 21: Yeah, she's still having no breathing up.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 17: He said, try not to move this back.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Then they kind of move it up a little bit.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: All right, So y'all, in this moment we see e
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: MT we were trying to idea. We see the other officers.
• 1:02:49

• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: hard goes out to the second office Because you were

  Speaker 1: arrogant and cocky by one of the agencies that he worked,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: one of the six agencies that he had worked for
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: in four years. You seem visibly shaken as he grasped items,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: who wipe the blood from his hands, nervous, he's shaken
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: because I believe he knew that it never should have
• 1:04:45

• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: like law enforcement is properly trained to deal with people
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: that are having a mental health crisis. Let's look at
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: the story of Patrick Warren Senior, who from Colleen was
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: shot twice in the chest by a police officer that
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: was called out due to mister Massey. I'm so sorry
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: mister Warren having a mental health breakdown. We see this
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: far too often. We hear these stories where black men
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: and black women are having mental health crisis. Officers are called,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: they don't know how to de escalate the situation, and
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: the person is killed and these officers get to go home.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: They're placed on administrative leave with pain. It's almost like, oh,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: you get a slap on the wrist. Many are tried
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: and never convicted. Look at the police officer and the
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: shooting death of Filando Castile. We look at the police
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: officers in the shooting death of Alton Sterling. We look
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: at the officers that killed Eric Garner. We look at
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: the officers that killed Sandra Bland, we look at the
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: officers that killed Brianna Taylor. The wall got more justice
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: than Brianna Taylor. So I'm not going to ever let
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: anyone forget who Sonya Massy is. Sonya Massi should still
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: be alive. There was nothing, nothing in this situation that
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: warranted this woman to lose her life on July the sixth,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But the million dollar question is who
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: the hell is Sean Greeson. Sean Grayson was a thirty
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: year old former sheriff. I'm so sorry, form your deputy.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: So as we jump in to find out who really
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Sean Grayson is, you tell me.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: So.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: Back in July of twenty sixteen, Grayson was arrested while
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: driving a four pickup truck in Gerard, Illinois, on charges
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: that included driving under the influence, driving on a suspended
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: or revoked license that the documents show a year earlier. Grayson,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: who was then twenty one, who was living in Junction City, Kansas,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: was charged with a duy, but a judge expunged the
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: charge in twenty eighteen. That's what the court records show
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Sean Grayson, the former sheriff's deputy, served at six different
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Illinois law enforcement agencies in a four year period. According
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, and
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: as of today, his status shows suspended.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Let me move this.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Out of the way. Sold. August eleventh of twenty twenty,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: he was hired part time to work at the Pawnee
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Police Department. He left that job July twenty sixth of
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. During that time, he obtained employment at
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: another agency February fourth, twenty twenty one, and left that
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: position May eighteen, twenty twenty one, just to live over
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: three months. Two days later, he was hired part time
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: by the Verdant Police Department, in which he only worked
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: a little over seven months. He was hired May twentieth
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, he set and it was separated
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: twelve thirty one of twenty twenty one. On July twentieth.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: He took a full time position at the Auburn Police
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Department July twentieth of twenty twenty one. Separation date May first,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: so he wasn't even there a year. He then gained
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: employment at the Logan County Sheriff's Office on May first
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two and left April twenty eighth of
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, in which three days later he was hired
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: on by the Singamon County Sheriff's Office May first, twenty
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Data separation July seventeenth, twenty twenty four, so
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: his status shows inactive. So the question at hand, this
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: man has worked at six agencies and a four year
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: time frame. Jewel says she knew what he was and
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: called that spirit out and he took a life. His
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: spot in the hottest parts of hell awaits his recess
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: ass absolutely. Jewel goes on to say, this cop has
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: worked for six different law enforcement agencies since twenty twenty six.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: That alone speaks volumes.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 11: You go on.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: We go back to August twenty twenty, he began working
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: with the Pawne Police Department as a part time officer.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: He later took on two other part time roles with
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: the King k Police Department on February fourth, twenty twenty one,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: and then the Verdant Police Department on May twentieth of
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. On July seventh, twenty twenty one, he
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: began working in a full time role with the Auburn
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Police Department, and then on May first, twenty twenty two,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: he took a full time role at the Logan Sheriff's
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: office before becoming before starting at the Singamon County in
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty three. Again, this man has worked
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: at six, six different agencies, six in less than four years.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: In a four year time frame, you have worked at
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: six agencies. Then he was in the military. Sean Grayson
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: was in the military. Let me get my information pulled
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: back up. My apologies everybody. So the sheriffs knew of
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: his arrest history, but was still hired on.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: Jack Campbell, who was the sheriff in which Sonya Massey's
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: father has called for him to step down, knew about
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Grayson's previous brushes with the law and decided to hire
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: him anyway. He has two previous DUI arrests. The first
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: DUI was in twenty fifteen, the second was in twenty
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: sixteen for driving on a suspended license. Sheriff Campbell said
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: his office was aware of the DUY at the time
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: he was hired. H So you mean to tell me
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: this man has a dishonorable discharge from the military. He's
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: worked for six different agencies in four years, one of
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: which has called him cocky and arrogant. He was arrested
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: for two DUIs. He's divorced. The ex wife refuses to speak.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: I believe they have reached out to the ex wife
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: as well as his former mother in law and they
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: refuse to speak. Hm hm six And y'all knew this.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: You knew this man have limishes, but you still hired
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: him anyway. Four of the six agencies have responded with
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: regards to Sean Greyson, one of which goes on to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: say he was cocky and arrogant. The other three agencies
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: that did respond say they didn't have any issues. One
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: went on to say he was a great cop. One
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: went on to say that also the Stale of Illinois
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: does not have a way to search for police officers
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: to check their work history. Missouri does, but Illinois does
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: not hm hmm.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: It says.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: They reached out to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Standards Board trying to figure out how he was even
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: able to be hired. Jamearra says, did they even run
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: a background check on this man before they hired it?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: Apparently not, or if they did. They didn't care, you know,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: they hired him anyway. The Army will not reveal why
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: he was discharged from the military. They won't say why. So,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: it says they spoke with the item. They spoke with
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: Johnny Simon from the Simon Law Firm in Saint Louis,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: who said, in general, sovereign immunity and state law prohibits
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: sim simple negligent hiring cases against state entities like the
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: police department. And there are questions that need to be
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: answered about his background.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: HM too.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: DUIs he worked for six agencies in four years.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: HM.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: So they did reach out to the former employers, they said.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Kenny Winslow, who is the Illinois Association of chief of
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: Police Executive Directors, said, upon watching the video, it is
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: obvious that the options of the normal of them. I'm
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: so sorry the now former deputy does not represent the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: values in training of the hard working men and women
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: of this honorable profession. They do send their thoughts and
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: sincereous sympathies to the family of Sonya Massey. It says,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: we go back and we look at Sean Greyson. They
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: knew what type of man he was when they hired him.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: They knew the blemishes he had on his record, butt
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: they still hired him. Anyway. Here we go. Here's a
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: little more information about Sean Grayson, the former sheriff deputy
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: that took the life of thirty six year old Sonya
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: Masking on July sixth, twenty four.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 29: We're learning new details about the former deputy who was
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 29: fired after the deadly shooting of a black woman in Illinois.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 29: Sonia Massey called nine one one, saying she suspected a
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 29: possible intruder outside her home. Body camera video shows deputies
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 29: responding to Massey's house. Shots were fired after she picked
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 29: up what appears to be a pot of boiling water
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 29: from her stove. The family says Massey was unarmed. The
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 29: former deputy, Sean Grayson, has pleaded not guilty to charges
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 29: including first degree murder. He was arrested and remains in custody.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 29: Now new original reporting from NBC News, Grayson worked for
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 29: six law enforcement agencies since twenty twenty, that's according to
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 29: Illinois law enforcement records, and even had his own previous run.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Ins with the law.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 29: NBC News National reporter Janell Griffith is behind this new reporting.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 29: So Janelle walk us through what exactly you found out
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 29: about Grayson's past.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 30: So, yes, he actually had pleaded guilty twice to driving
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 30: under the influence of alcohol, once in twenty fifteen and
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 30: again in twenty sixteen, and one of those times overlapped
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 30: with when he was enlisted in the army, and he
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 30: was released shortly thereafter he was discharged. And he also
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 30: I found that one of those departments had been disciplined
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 30: for striking a deer in a police chase that that
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 30: sheriff's office had said was his fault. They said that
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 30: he had violated a number of department policies in the chase,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 30: and he had also faced two unsubstantiated complaints by two citizens,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 30: filed by two citizens.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 29: So pretty remarkable findings. And I imagine Janelle the family
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 29: has thoughts about this. What have we heard from the
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 29: Massies as well as their lawyer, who of course is
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 29: prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 30: Yes, so Ben and Sonya's family are saying, why was
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 30: this man allowed to work in law enforcement at all?
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: They said, he left the army under.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 30: Questionable circumstances, and he had been pleaded guilty to two
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 30: DUIs himself. So was he the most suitable person to
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 30: be in a uniform, and they're cabbling for accountability, and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 30: they believe that had he not been a part of
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 30: the sheriff's office, that Sonia might still be alive right.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 29: Now, to that end, Really briefly, Janelle, have we heard
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 29: from the sheriff's office on this on your new reporting?
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 30: No, they have not said they're Actually his most recent
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 30: employer is the only one that has not provided me
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 30: his records. All five other departments have gotten back to
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 30: me with his personnel files, but the Sangamon County Sheriff's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 30: Office has.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Not as of yet.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 29: Janelle Griffith, great reporting, Thanks so much.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 9: Thanks for watching.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 31: Stay updated about breaking news and top stories on the
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 31: NBC News app, or follow us on social media.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: So let's get into this real quick. Yeah, we have
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: just heard this man had two complaints filed on him
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: by citizens. He was discharged from the army under mysterious circumstances.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: He's had some infractions, but they still hire them anyway. Really,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: let's take that in for just a moment. Let's let
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's let's let this let's soap this
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: up real quick again. This man had two complaints to
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: buy two citizens. He was discharged from the military under
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: mysterious circumstances, kay two duys and was still able to
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: put on a uniform and a badge. Was able to
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: do so. The fact that this man worked six agencies
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: in four years, it's not a red flag for yr.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: Not a red flag, but we do know. Sean Grayson
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: has been charged with three council first degree murder, one
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: count of official misconduct, and one charge of aggabated assault.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: What a fire on.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 31: Here We go now to Illinois and the outrage over
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 31: the shooting of a mother of two. The sheriff's deputy
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 31: involved in the deadly incident has now been fired and
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 31: is facing charges. ABC's Andrew Fuji has the details this morning.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 32: Prosecutors in Springfield, Illinois, have charged former sheriff's deputy Sean
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 32: Grayson with murder for shooting a mother of two in
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 32: her home after she called nine to one one for help.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 17: Plus the hums the shots fires seeing that a female.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 32: Cut his On the night of July sixth, thirty six
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 32: year old Sonya Massey called to report a prowler at
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 32: her home. Grayson and another deputy responded to the scene,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 32: where Prosecutors say Grayson aggressively yelled at Massey to put
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 32: down a pot of hot water. They say she put
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 32: her hands in the air and said I'm sorry, but
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 32: they say Grayson shot her in the face. Prosecutors claim
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 32: while the other day deputy still rendered aid and stayed
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 32: with Ms. Massey until medical help arrived, Grayson at no
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 32: time attempted to render aid to Miss Massey. Grayson's body
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 32: camera was not turned on until after the shooting, but
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 32: his partner's camera was on, and prosecutors say the footage
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 32: does not support a finding that Deputy Sean Grayson was
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 32: justified in his use of deadly force.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 7: We've seen too much of this where an innocent person, unarmed,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 7: who actually called for assistance was the target and the
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 7: victim of a shooting by a police officer, and it
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 7: does not reflect on all police officers. This particular Sheriff's
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: deputy committed a crime and he's been indicted for it appropriately.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 32: So the incident sparking immediate protests.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: She was a mother, she has children. That is an
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: impact for generations.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 23: Who want the community to understand that once everything is released,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 23: to continue the peaceful protests and to continue to demand
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 23: justice because you have that constitutional right to do that,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 23: and justice will be served for.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 33: Sonya us Andreae, ABC News New York.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: Let's just kind of take that in for just a moment,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: because again, Sonya Massy should still be here. Sonya Massy's
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: life should not be over. Sonya Massy was a mother,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: she was a sister, she was a daughter, She was
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: a friend who called for help only to have her
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: life so brutally taken away. I wanna know your thoughts
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: as we bring this episode to a close. Justified, unjustified?
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Was mister Grayson warranted in what he did to Sonya Massy?
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: No matter how many times we see these videos of
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: unarmed black men and black women killed at the hands
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: of the police and avgacy, is he to have these conversations.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: It never helps with the mental of the black man
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: and a black woman. Jamarra says, unjustified, He's guilty. Absolutely,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: He's most definitely guilty to allow such a demonic human
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: being who had no regards for human life being able
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: to put on a uniform and a badge to say
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: I'm here to protect and serve. Are they running thorough
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: background checks on these candidates? Was he really in fear
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: of his life, because every story that I have covered,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: this is their emo. I was in fear of my
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: life because that woman said, I rebuke you in the
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. The demonic spirit in Sean Grayson did
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: not like that because that was a woman of God.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Because that woman could see and yes, I'm about to
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: get on my soap box, that lady was a woman
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: of God. That woman recognized, that woman's discernment, knew what
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: entered her home. She knew Satan had walked through that door.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: And that's why she told him him in my Bible.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: If you go back and you watch the video and
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: you look at it from the beginning, you heard her
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: when she said, can you ham in my Bible, that
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: woman knew. Maybe that's why she was bailing up.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 30: Hout of water.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe she was bailing up hout of water because maybe
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: she really truly didn't hear somebody outside of her home.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe she really truly thought there was a prowler out there,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: and maybe she figured, I'm gonna throw this water on
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: whoever's outside of my home. We don't know, but one
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: thing we do know, Sonia Massey is no longer here
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: with us in the present. Sonia Massy is no longer
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: with us amongst the living because of Sean Grayson, because
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: Sean Grayson came and avivated and on a thousand, which
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: we see a million times when these officers are called
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: out to handle people that are having a mental health crisis.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: We saw it in San Antonio, we saw it here
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: in Colleen, Texas. We saw it in Louisiana, Baby, we
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: saw it in Baltimore and Maryland. We see this every day,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: and these officers are granted immunity. And then you hear
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: people that come back and say, oh, well, she should
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: have she should have did this, she should have did that.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: What did she do wrong? That woman was unarmed and
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: her hands were in the air. That man, him and
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: his partner were closer to the door than they were
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: to her. When Sean Grayson told her you bet not,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: I'll shoot you in your fucking face. You escalated the
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: city situation. You knew what you were coming in there
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: to do. I don't care how you trying to slice
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: this pie, this pie, this cake, this pizza. That woman
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: pulls no imminent threat. Had she been white, would it
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: have been a different result. Yes, you're damn right, I'm
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: on my soapbox right now, absolutely because I'm tired. I
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: am sick and tired of black men and black women
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: being unable to call the police and feel safe. I
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: am tired of these police officers unjustly taking the lives
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: of black men, black women, black boys, and black girls,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: and no one does anything about it. These police officers
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: are not held accountable, and I'm sick of it. When
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: I tell y'all, I'm sol tired. I'm over it. This
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: is why African American men, women, boys, and girls do
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: not feel safe with the police officers because of things
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: like this, Because we don't know what's gonna happen when
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: we call you. We don't know, are we gonna die,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna end up in a hospital? What's gonna happen?
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: We don't know. And everyone keeps saying, oh, but the
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: good cops, the good cops. We can't tell the good
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: cops from the bad cops, because, you know what, the
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: good cops don't sing me anything. Your absolutely correct that
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: I'm on my soapbox right now.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: I'm tired.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of having to tell these stories. I'm tired
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: of having to say her I'm tired of having to
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: see his knee and I don't want to hear nobody
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: say but as you don't see anything when it's black
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: on black crime. No, I'm tired, I'm exhausted. I'm worn out.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: Sonya madge, sister still be here period. You now have
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: left two children without a mother, all because Sean Grayson
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: decided he wanted to have his nuts on swool. He
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to come in. He's a big tough guy. I
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: pray justice is served. I pray that Shan Greason never
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: sees the light of thing. I pray for those two
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: children who now have to go do life without a mother.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: And don't let me forget that they initially told dispatchers
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: that it was a self inflicted gunshot wound. I forgot
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: to put that in there. That's what they were told.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: The officers didn't even notify the family. They hadn't even
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: told the family. All the family knew was that she
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: had been shot, but not by who. The family thought
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: maybe it was the neighbor, because from my understanding and
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: from the information that I've collected and gathered, she had
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: issues with the neighbor. So they assumed it was the neighbor,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: let me give my information. Wait a minute, m because baby,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: I took some notes.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 34: I took some notes. So so.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: The dispatcher initially thought it was a self inflicted gunshot wound.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: That's what they thought. The information was not clear. The
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: family was initially thought she was shot by the neighbor
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: because again there have been reports that miss Massy and
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: the neighbor, there were some issues. They were asked about
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: a ten ninety six. Again, for those that do not know,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: a ten ninety six, that's police called for mental illness
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: mental health. Has anyone ever come out for a mental
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: health call? You have Sean Grayson that failed to render aid.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: He basically said, oh, she was done. Just let him
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: bleed out. I'm not wasting my kit. Oh there's nothing
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: we could do. I'm not wasting my kit. Then you
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: have the fact that Sean Grayson's body cam was not activated.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: One of the things I want to know is why
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: are these body cameras? Why do they have on off buttons.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like there needs to be a change in that.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like once an officer's dispatched to a scene,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like the body camera should be activated once
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: they get to the location, destination, whatever you want to
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: call it. And I feel like they shouldn't have the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: option to power it on or off. It should automatic
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: come on or it should automatically stay on. I don't
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: feel like they should have access to be able to
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: cut these body cameras off and on, because again, as
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: the family stated, what if the other deputy would have
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: had his body camera on, we would have never known
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: what happened because we know how they try to cover
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: things up, as it sounds to me what they tried
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: to do because they failed to notify the family that
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: it was a deputy involved shooting. They knew she was shot,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: they just didn't nobody who and maybe that's because they
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: were starting the investigation. We don't know, but the hospitals
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: who even notified the family. So there were so many things,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: so many missed opportunities, so many balls dropped in this situation.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: But again I prayed that they get it right for
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: Sonya Massy. She deserves justice. Sonya Massy again should still
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: be amongst the living. I asked everyone, say your name,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: miss Sonya Massy. We will always love and remember you.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Your death was never in vain. May your soul rest.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: May we get justice for Sonya Massy. Sonya Massy should
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: still be here. To Sean Grayson, I pray that you
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: were indicted. I pray that you are convicted, and I
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: pray that you are sentenced to the highest extent of
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: the law because that was absolutely first agree murder. There
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: were so many missed opportunities. You missed the signs that
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: had some type of mental ills, mental health issue or issues,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: or because you let your ego get the best of you.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: I pray that more of your truths are revealed. I
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: pray that they see this. I pray that whoever hired you,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: I pray that they lose their job because you never
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: I should have had a badge and a uniform on,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: because you were not equipped to protect and serve anybody.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: Because we saw what type of justice you served, Sean Grace,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: and I pray God has no mercy on your soul.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna end with that as we bring Black Girl,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: another episode of Black Girl Interrupted to a close again.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: Black Girl Interrupted will officially be back August six, a

  Speaker 1: feels good to be back. It feels good to be
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: in front of this camera. It feels good to be
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: in a back in a place that I specifically designed
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: and created not only for me, but for you. I
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: will continue to share and hold basis and have difficult
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: yet uncomfortable conversations. I will always continue to promote empowerment, upliftment, encouragement,

• 1:54:53
  Speaker 35: Today, I get thanks to black women. Black women are
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 35: the fires that disrupt injustice, the magic that turns nothing
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 35: into something. I love black women. I pray for black women.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 35: I pray for black women to be heard. I pray
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 35: for a black woman's worth to no longer be measured
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 35: by how much pain she can endure.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: I pray for black.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 35: Women to be more than objects, more than targets, more
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 35: than entertainment. I pray for safe havens for black women.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 35: I pray for blankets and anchors of love for black women.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 35: I pray for more than justice. I pray for destruction.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 35: Systems to be destroyed, institutions to burn, cities to crumble,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 35: until Black women are seen, until we are protected, until
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 35: we are held, until we are safe. I pray for
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 35: a new world, a new home that includes Black women
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 35: and their existence.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: Today.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 35: I pray for black women. I pray for every black
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 35: girl's life.
