De-Escalation And Tactical Failure In The Sonya Massey Incident You can find the raw unedited video here hosted by the Illinois State Police (can't embed b/c they disabled that ability): https://youtu.be/HFun2GydGyU?si=c6owzGjbdb3fqonH |

Quoted: This is the moment the shooter says I'll shoot you in the fucking face. She was removing the pot from the heat, or fiddling with it - whatever. She made no threat, either verbally or physically w/ the pot, or anything else. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/277223/droppot1-3280048.png This is the moment the shooter pulls his gun. She has said nothing else. She looks afraid. She has not turned around w/ the pot, nor attempted to throw it, chase them w/ it, etc. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/277223/notholdingpot-3274780.png View Quote Yes, she did say something "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" then repeated it. It's a damned weird thing to say. Then at 0:59 on the uncut video when she draws her hands back she has something vaguely rectangular in them. I'm betting that's when the pot and dropping the pot she wasn't actually holding became the focus. I gotta get back to work, so can't try to to post the pics but watch right as her arms recoil. |

Expecting radional responses from someone you just put into a flight or flight response is the height of absurdity. |

Quoted: Thank you. Yeah, I'm going with he saw the mitt as 'the pot'. She wasn't holding the pot but he saw her hands come up with a red rectangle in them and that became 'the pot' in his head then she dove below the counter. I can't see the toss from that angle but there is another where you can see her fling the pot so I think she grabbed it after she dove down and made the worst call ever to throw it at them. It sucks and I do feel bad for her. It's not 1st degree murder though. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Thank you. Yeah, I'm going with he saw the mitt as 'the pot'.

I also don't agree that he should be convicted of first degree murder though. And these things don't happen in a vacuum. This guy was trained to be this jumpy. Just like the acorn cop, and many, many others. They shouldn't be able to just throw these cops under the bus as if they didn't create them in the first place. View Quote Lawyers can chime at what point does the shooter become responsible for the decision to shoot IF the threat of deadly force was not there? So, for argument purposes, the officer is wrong in the threat posed, he intended in the moment to kill the deceased. I’m guessing that’s the premeditation can be formed in an instant. Then the next question would be what amount of culpability would it be? How much does a mistake become premeditated or accident? 1st degree does seem high in this situation. 2nd degree or manslaughter seems more appropriate. I don’t think he’s blameless. I thought there was a push to move away from the Dinkheller training and more towards de-escalation ? |

View Quote When he already decided he wanted to shoot the poor woman in the face, why would he deescalate? Besides, there was no behavior to deescalate, the woman was calm and speaking in a soft/normal tone. She seemed to be the one deliberately maintaining a calm demeanor to deescalate the violent retard in her home. She sensed the danger and wanted her Bible for comfort the moment that shit bag walked in. |

Quoted: Probably not. I'm sure Mr Skull tats wishes he wasn't one now and probably didn't need to be one at all. However I don't see it the way some are arguing it. They were allowed inside while she looked for ID (if they REALLY needed it I don't know). They asked her to turn off the stove. She picked up a pot of liquid that had been on the stove and then with it in hand made a rather odd and potentially threatening statement which would certainly put me on edge were I seeing it. It all goes sideways after that because she's not all there and they get locked into 'threat' mode. I don't see anything there that looks like police barged into her home and executed her for no reason or with malice. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I get that they got into the "we need to get ID" loop. I sure hope that ID card is worth the officer defending his freedom in court. Why they didn't just go back in service after verifying there was no prowler is a damn mystery. Probably not.

I don't see anything there that looks like police barged into her home and executed her for no reason or with malice. The officer made the initial statement that he was afraid of her water. She made a statement, possibly even a joke, of rebuke. She could've been rebuking the water. I've done that in jest with an angry looking hard boil. She could've been rebuking the spirit making him think she would do such a thing; similar to, "Perish the thought!" She could've been serious about rebuking him. However, NONE of those situations makes the rebuke in any way, shape, or form a threat. To call that rebuke a threat is ridiculous, even if she's holding a pot of hot water, especially a good distance away. The only things such a rebuke is a threat to are demons and other evil spirits. What was the deal with what looked like and sounded like water being ran? Was she running cold water into the pot? Did she dump out most of the contents and then refill with mostly cold? Any substantial amount of cold water added would've reduced the water temperature. Frankly, I think she was joking with them as she thought they were. That fits right in with her dropping down with her hands up and apologizing so much. She possibly thought they were joking but when the threat to shoot her in the face came, she realized that she misunderstood the interaction. IMHO, this is first degree murder. The officers set the tone and stage. The shooter ramped everything up to 100 in short order. The officers are the professionals so they are expected to perform their functions differently than the individual. |

He goes into investigation mode and escalates the rest of the encounter. He does start to come off in that moment as a cop that is going to find something to hang on her too. Yeah, something about the car made him decide to keep pressing it sadly. The water thing is certainly odd the way it all goes down and his response seems over-amped. Probably would have gone differently too if she had just turned off the stove and left the pot alone. I don't hear them tell her to move the pot as some comments are saying. I do think the cop went over-the top in his response. He felt the lady was 'off' and went to 11 on the dial over her being weird while holding the pot of hot water. I'm only stating that I don't see this as 1st degree murder. There were circumstances that led to the cop's reaction. He was not there to kill him someone that night.

That's a very good point but I would consider that more on the civil suit side than the criminal. The officer has to be 100% in control of his intentional actions so he has to be 100% criminally liable for his criminal actions. He set up the situation. He escalated the situation. He issued a threat of serious bodily injury or death after hearing something that could not be reasonably construed as a threat to anything but an evil spirit. The physical threat observed was simply too far away at the time and there were obstructions between when he issued his threat. The aggressor here, IMHO, was the shooter. He made his intent clearly known and it was recorded on government issued and maintained recording equipment. Very quickly after issuing the threat, he made good on it and shot her just as he said he was going to. I think criminally charging him with premeditated murder fits with what the evidence is showing. |

Quoted: Some stills from the body cam vid very briefly show her with the pot raised and tipped forward, mid-throw. From a crouched position. Whether that establishes a significant enough threat will be debated. View Quote That is fine. The question is why did he draw his gun in the first place? He raised it in response to something like “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” I don't think that warranted drawing his pistol. It was only after that she ducked down, then got up, grabbed the pot and threw it. If she just threw it before he pulled his pistol I could understand the shooting. I don't see her making any reasonably threatening behavior prior to the officer drawing his pistol. |

Something I thought about concerning the multiple departments and being chaptered out of the military.
As someone who served I know the idea of getting out in conditions other than dishonorable are often offered as sort of a plea deal. As in "you leave without trouble and we won't put in the work to hang you on this" So it's not uncommon for lots of people who got in trouble to have left under conditions less than honorable but not dishonorable. I'm sure there is a similar process for law enforcement. Leave without trouble and you don't get dragged through the mud on this. However, as shown for this guy. He never learned the lesson. it seems there is an increasing amount of people who don't learn the lesson. So the idea of not hammering these folks is just laziness on the part of these institutions. More than training. Putting in the work to bring consequences to those who run afoul of the rules is necessary if the culture is to change. |

Two things have been bugging me about current trends covering this case (Crump, etc) and what may arise out of it.
When the John Crawford III shooting happened a decade ago in Beavercreek Ohio, a friend of mine had been organizing protests for perhaps a month or more before BLM showed up. It was, of course, a protest that included open carry. We hadn't really heard much of BLM and certainly didn't know they were filthy commies. My friend invited them to join with open arms. My daughter and I even took over the police department with them one evening. During that take-over, I learned just how astro-turf, planned, under-handed, and communist the group was. They originally had talked all about how important open carry and all other rights were. We met his family on several occasions at the protest sites and they all agreed that it was important not to hinder gun rights as a result of our efforts. Over the year, they started ostracizing our members and eventually pushing them out completely. At the end of things a year later, they got gun control legislation passed that would've made John Crawford guilty of a crime had it been in place when he was shot. 1) So, whenever I find myself agreeing with the commie press and other prominent useful idiots, I become concerned that I am somehow being duped. My opinion is that this was a very bad shoot and murder charges are warranted. However, I am also suspicious because that is what the commies are also saying. Typically, I've seen them ignore the truly criminal cases while they prop up a case that requires lies and manipulation to get them where they are going. 2) What is the likely outcome, IMHO? Less good candidates want to take on the job of peace officer. More racist policies and DEI because of the way the left is framing this as racial. I don't think this shooting was racially motivated in any way. TL;DR - I am nervous to climb on board with communists because they always seem to screw everybody in the end and society ends up worse off. |

View Quote It’s not going to change until voters elect lawmakers who will pass an ironclad “do not fire until fired upon” ROE for law enforcement. Every cop skinning his sidearm without a lethal threat present is fired, arrested for aggravated assault and tried. Yeah, we will have fewer cops and they’ll be more expensive. I’d rather have that than roided-up amateurs. |
