Say Her Name: Entire Video Footage of the Shooting Death of Sonya Massey

The cold blooded execution of Springfield Illinois resident Sonya Massey is extremely hard to watch, comprehend or digest — especially if you’re a person of color and/or black.

Body cam footage from the deputy who shot and killed the 36 year old mother of two has been posted on the Illinois State Police YouTube channel.

On July 6, an Illinois sheriff deputy’s body camera captures the house call in its entirety which starts with deputies arriving to her Springfield home. The initial 911 call was made by Sonya to report a suspected prowler on the property and led to her being executed in cold blood on the kitchen floor. The deputy who shot her reportedly states that he feared she would throw a pot of boiling water at him so he acted in self defense.

Oklahoma Senator Challenges Teamsters President to Fight

CNN — Sen. Markwayne Mullin is not ashamed of his challenge to fight a union boss during a Senate hearing Tuesday.

Instead, the Oklahoma Republican is defending his behavior and actively suggesting that threats of violence have a special place in American history that should be revived.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday, Mullin, a former professional MMA fighter, said a return to physical violence could help cure what he derided as a culture of “keyboard warriors” who “go out there and run their mouth all the time, and then they don’t ever have to face the consequences.”
