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”.
I don’t understand why you are being so rude.
If you watch the footage, it makes complete sense.
And most importantly, there is zero evidence that her race has anything to do with it at all.
Your lax attitude towards murder is not helping your case about whether race matters. You don’t seem to value life.
I think it’s a consequence of America being so gun happy.
You guys need to get rid of em. Big time.
I value human life greatly, I just know not to threaten American cops… because… I value human life.
