1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Here we go again, Melissa. So this is just a horrible,

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: horrible story. I'm gonna start with this. Say her name.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Her name is Sonia Massey. Sonia Massey was a black woman.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: She was murdered by a white male deputy police officer

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July weekend. She called nine to

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: one one for help. She lives in Springfield, Illinois. Sonia

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Massey called the police after she thought there was an

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: intruder outside her house. The bodycam video was released by

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: an Illinois state police showing a Sheriff's deputy shot Sonia

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Sonia Massey in the face. She was shot in the

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: head in the face during a tense moment over a

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: pot of boiling water in her home. That's what this

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: was all about. In the video, Massey asked the deputy

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: where you going away from your hot, steaming water. The

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: deputy responds, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Massey says. Massey does not approach the deputies with the pot.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: She stays in her kitchen. The deputy you better f

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: and not. I swear to God I'll e f and

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: shoot you in your f and face. This is what

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: Deputy Grayson says, before pulling out his gun. Okay, I'm sorry,

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Massy says as she ducks down. Later, Deputy Grayson can

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: be heard on the camera saying she said she was

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus and

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: came at me with boiling water. Sonia's father, mister James Wilburn,

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: spoke about the bodycam footage on CBS this morning. Take

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: a listen.

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: So I think the cover up started from just right

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: after it happened. Thank God for the body camera footage.

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: Just probably the most horrible and heart wrenching thing that

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: we've ever seen in our lives. But if it were

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: not for the bodycam footage, we would not have known

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: that this occurred.

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: This is so you know, please real said man, I don't,

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean we hear it every other month.

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Here goes again, Here it goes again.

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 2: It never.

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: Then you start, then here's in the whole journey on

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: what happens to this office, that what's gonna take place

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: with them next. But at the end of the day,

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: it just it just seems to never stop. And it's

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: always our people. It's always us that's getting it. It's

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: always us you killed and I don't and I don't

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: wish it on and I don't wish it on anybody always.

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: No, of course not, of course not.

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: You killed this woman over a pot of water.

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: That she was unarmed, she didn't have a gun, right,

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: she didn't throw the water at me.

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: There's no threats.

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: And didn't he tell her to take the pot of

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: boiling water off the stove And that's what she was doing.

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: Shot in the head, yes.

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: And her father, the family has said that she did

00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 4: have some mental health issues, but she did seek out

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: treatment and she had treatment for that. At the end

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: of the day, you killed this woman over a pot

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: of water.

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: That's what you did in her home.

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 4: That is horris.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,240

Speaker 2: She could.

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: If you thought an intruder was outside, that's what you

65

Speaker 4: the family members, one of the friends, said at first,

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: the police didn't even tell them that they were the
