Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.

In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.

Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.

      Huh? why would I argue a point that you brought up?

      Why try strawman me? to argue with someone else? Goargue with someone else if you want to argue their points.

      I watched the video. She brought it entirely upon herself Unfortunately. She literally called 911 and then behaved that way. Probably suicide by cop, but who knows. You can never know that kind of thing.

        There is no fucking way that you can watch that video and conclude that she “brought it on herself”.

          She literally called 911… and then behaved like that… and threatened to throw boiling water at the cops she called for asking for i.d.

          Makes sense to me

            She didn’t threaten to do shit, you just want to exonerate trigger-happy cop gangsters.

              Did you not watch it?

              That’s sad.

              Letting people make you feel so strongly about something that you didn’t even watch. There’s. I way you can watch that footage and think she didn’t threaten the police.

                  That is horrific. I hope some day you watch the footage and feel bad for this.
