Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.
In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.
Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.
And as I said, I’ve also watched the video. The point of all of my comments is that your original statement:
was not based in anything that could be observed in the video, but rather on your “deduction.” There are people who will never watch the video because they would find it upsetting, and I wouldn’t want people like that to read your comment and think there was any ounce of truth to your claim. One simply cannot see any of what you’re claiming in the footage that is available, and I personally believe that your ardent defense of these claims says a lot more about you than it does about the available facts.
You claimed it was obscured.
I immediately want and made as screenshot to show it wasnt.
I think it’s obvious who wants to move on agenda here…
