Sheriff Allegedly Refused Aid To Woman He Shot: 'Protocol,' Or Pathology?
Sean Grayson, the former sheriff’s deputy charged with murder after shooting Sonya Massey, a single mother of two who called 911 for a suspected prowler, reportedly ordered his partner to withhold medical assistance after he shot her. This disturbing detail, emerging from court testimony, highlights a brutal lack of humanity. While the 'official' story focuses on the immediate incident, it's worth
recalling how often law enforcement involved in fatal shootings cite 'safety protocols' when failing to aid victims – a protocol that mysteriously vanishes when it comes to de-escalation, but always appears when minimizing liability. This isn't an isolated incident; stories of delayed medical care from those who inflicted the injury are grimly common in police-involved shootings, often justified
retroactively by legal teams. One might wonder if 'officer safety' extends to the psychological comfort of not witnessing the consequences of their actions up close. How many 'training' hours go into shooting versus basic first aid when the person shot is, conveniently, deemed a 'threat' even after being incapacitated?
