Prosecutors alleged that when Grayson and his partner responded to Massey’s home, Grayson allowed her to move a pot of water heating on the stove, but as she set it on a counter, Grayson then “aggressively yelled” at Massey over the pot and pulled his 9mm pistol.
Massey then asked what the deputies were doing, to which Grayson responded, “Getting away from your hot, steaming water.”
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” Massey said twice, according to the documents reviewed by NBC News.
Grayson responded, “I swear to God. I will shoot you right in your f------ face.”
When Grayson drew his service weapon and ordered her to drop the pot, she let go, then crouched below a line of cabinets, and declared “I’m sorry” before being shot in the face, prosecutors said.
Grayson did not render aid to Massey and discouraged his partner from getting his medical kit because he thought her injury was too severe, according to the court document filed in support of keeping Grayson in custody without bond.
do people become cops because they know they’re too fucking stupid to do anything else? or just because it means they get to shoot black people? or because they have a severe inferiority complex?
Applicants can be legally rejected for having too high IQ. Wouldn’t want the piggies to become self-aware.

that doesn’t surprise me in the slightest
D) All of the above
Pigs are just a fraternity, intellect has zilch to do with any function of their agency. Most are in it because they think it makes them look cool. Others join because it makes them feel powerful and superior to others. Then there are genuine evil people, like the above shitbucket, who wear the badge specifically to hold the firearm.
Even the ones that join to protect their “community” are, more often than not, passively protecting a status quo instead.
this woman called 911 for HELP, and the fucking pussy cop felt threatened because she had a pot of hot water?
the problems run much deeper than the bottom rung chimpanzees they hire for beat cops. this douchenozzle should have never been hired in the first place. by anyone.
But then how are the police supposed to hire all these low-functioning racists?
Not to dilute the ACAB vibe but a couple of quarts of boiling water thrown on you will irrevocably and painfully change your life for the worse for years to come.
If only there were some way to avoid a thrown pot of water, like, I dunno, maybe by teleporting out the door? Calling the eagles to get carried 6 feet, and out of range? Using the freeze-breath super-power? Sprouting housefly wings and flitting away? Sadly, there’s absolutely nothing realistically that a buff, 6’3", 220lbs. cop could possibly have done to move himself out of danger of flung hot water, 72 long inches away, so shooting her in the face (after she put it down) was of course the only proportionate response. /s
Idk being shot in the face sounds just a little worse. That might just be me though.
You could always, you know, ask them to step away from it.
Let’s not forget the extra-added bonus of “Badge Bunnies/holster sniffers” if you’re into that sort of thing
Yes.
I had considered joining the police here in the UK. The pay is okay, the pension is fantastic, and it felt like something you’d do to help people. For all the shit police get, when you’re in a horrible situation like a family member dying at home, or a violent break-in, having the police there to help pick the pieces up and guide you can be great.
The problem is that the reality of the job is endless paperwork, having hardly any training for the job that you do, having a public that (rightly) hates you, and you’re put in positions that you can’t really win.
IMO the police shouldn’t be defunded. They should get far more funding, in return for FAR more training. Their unions should be responsible for ensuring their members are fully trained and able to act on their training, leaving the role if they can’t. Those that can’t keep up should be retrained in other fields, like mental health work, the law, or social support.
But to answer your question, I think those that don’t join the police see the hypocrisy of joining a force that actively does the opposite of what you want the police to be. Those that do are ignorant to it, or apathetic to its presence (e.g. not all cops).
