Sonya Massey was killed for no good reason. She dialed 911 for help with what she believed to be an intruder, and one of the responding officers, Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson, gunned her down with the excuse that his life was endangered by a pot of boiling water. Everyone except white bootlickers and self-hating negroes understood that Grayson’s excuse was bulls**t, which is why he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Now, according to new reporting by NPR Illinois, the government would like to have a word with the department that employed Grayson.

The United States Department of Justice sent a letter to Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department informing them that numerous complaints have been reviewed and that the department may be in violation of nondiscrimination requirements pending investigation.

“The incident raises serious concerns about SCSO’s interactions with Black people and people with behavioral health disabilities, as well as SCSO’s policies, practices, procedures, and training regarding community policing, bias-free policing, response to behavioral health crises, use of force, de-escalation, affirmative duty to intervene, affirmative duty to render medical aid, and body-worn camera (“BWC”) policies and compliance,
The DOJ has, in no uncertain terms, also communicated that any attempt to restrict access to the information being sought could result in suspension of federal funding and legal action against the department. Sheriff Paula Crouch has her work cut out for her. Big brother’s boot is coming down hard.
