The former sheriff’s deputy charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman killed inside her Illinois home, had been employed by a half-dozen police agencies since 2020, according to state law enforcement records.

The Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board shows Grayson was hired part time on Aug. 11, 2020, by the Pawnee Police Department. He also was hired part time on Feb. 4, 2021, by the Kincaid Police Department and on May 20, 2021, by the Virden Police Department.

Two months later, he was hired full time by the Auburn Police Department and remained there until May 1, 2022, when he was hired full time by the Logan County Sheriff’s Office. Grayson left Logan County on April 28, 2023, and was hired full time on May 1, 2023, by the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office.

He received his part-time Law Enforcement Certification on June 5, 2021, according to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. His certification status currently reads as suspended on the board’s website.

      There’s gotta be a better way to say that. Can’t just go around using slurs like c*ps.

      But seriously we can do better than that phrase I think.

            Well yes, but it doesn’t differentiate between the bastards that stay in one place, and the ones that roam from station to station because even the other bastards can’t stand em.

              I just simplify it from ACAB because it doesn’t matter if they roam a lot or not at all … they’re all bastards.

          Unkeepables maybe, or just undesirable officers. So bad they gotta ship you off where no one knows who you are.

          Angry little pigs that destroy anything they come across and kill whatever stands in their way, regardless of threat and is very difficult to get rid of?

          Yeah, seems about right.

        I get where you’re coming from, but since the phenomenon is almost exclusively an American problem, and America doesn’t really have the same sort of prejudice against the Roma as many in Europe do, it’s harder to see it as a slur. I suppose Nomad Cops could work 🤷‍♂️

      Transient cop. Migratory cop.
