the pot to prevent any accidental fires the pot was located in another room of the home separated by a large counter during this time the other Deputy was clearing the house and nothing dangerous was noted defendant Grayson then made a comment about the pot which apparently contained heated water Miss Massie responded verbally and set the pot of water down on a counter in the kitchen during this time the defendant was still in the living room area of the home despite his distance and relative cover the defendant drew his 9mm firearm not the less than lethal taser located on his vest and threatened to shoot Miss Massie in the face you have an idea that make things so much easier I just need just driver's license will do and I'll get out of your hair I want to show y'all my paperwork I

with his firearm still drawn proceeded to close the significant gap between him and Miss Massie defendant then aggressively yelled at Miss Massie to put the pot down the defendant then fired his duty weapon three times in the direction of Miss Massie striking her in the face one time only at this time did the defendant Grayson activate his body warn camera shots fire shots fire drop bringing Miss now we got a head shot wound to the female head shot wound to the female 1078 after this the other Deputy announced he was going to retrieve a medical kit from his vehicle to which the defendant in instructed him not to because of the severity of the injury I'm going to go get my kit she done you can go get it but that's a head shot god damn it God I'm not taking BL a water head and look it came

everybody need anything I'm good okay you do all right yeah I'm all right all right thanks so godamn [ __ ] [ __ ] man what up you good yeah all right come here what's this turn that off so what you just watched was the body cam from the non shooter this is the little bit of Buddy Cam that we get to see from the shooter because he didn't have it on at all the important times he didn't turn it on until after he shot Miss Massie yeah we're SEC C no it's just her in the house she's to 96 is there anything you think we can do for no all right I'm not even to waste my Med stuff then you want to run down real quick no not yet all right right house is clear she was the only one where's he going no she had a boiling water and came at me with boiling water you shot her yeah she said she was going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus and came out with blowing water that's what all this is I was standing right here all right and that's where he's landed what do you all need from just nothing right now just hang out out there for me thank you I need the around the the house you guys can but other than that that's get anything me oh I didn't know what happened yeah I'm good crazy here yeah where's he at inside with me he's good yeah that's my fa I didn't know I didn't know no dude it was good I it [ __ ] happen so goddamn quick that we didn't have time it was me and yeah that's why we need to look no we're good I think she set it up on purpose so this what it is I'm in chill in my car huh I'm G chill in my car for a minute okay I got it a police officer may use deadly force if he has reasonable cause to believe that a suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm to the officer or others and the officer if feasible warns the suspect before using deadly force the reasonableness of a police officer's use of deadly force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene at the moment that force was used and not in hindsight in my opinion this clearly was not a Justified use of deadly force the officers were supposed to be there to help her and there was no indication that this woman may be dangerous it seems to me that this bizarre reaction from one of the officers to act afraid of This Woman's pot of water caused her to make a joke about rebuking one of the officers had the woman suddenly grabbed a gun or even possibly a knife though she wasn't very close to them at the time that may make the actions of shooting her reasonable but here she was holding a pot it doesn't appear that she went to get the pot to use it as a weapon against anybody it never appears that she does in fact use the pot as a weapon against anybody in fact this one just doesn't even come close to showing some immediate serious this safety threat to the police officers had she Advanced towards the officers and they told her not to and she continued to yeah okay but even the other police officer knew that it was not reasonable for his colleague to have shot this woman in the head that's why he goes to the back of his car and he's visibly shaking and trying to get control of himself this is the very definition of unreasonable so this is my initial analysis anyways I'll continue to look at the evidence as it comes out we can't live in a society where a police officer just decides that a pot of water on the stove is scary and that they have to shoot you in the head all right if you're afraid of my pot just get out of my house I'm not under arrest I can ask you to leave at any time my rights don't end where your fear begins freedom is scary deal with it
