Color Of Change mourns Sonya Massey and we send our heartfelt condolences to the Massey family. The video released today is gut wrenching and once again shows that Black people in this country cannot escape police violence, even in their own homes. It is also a stark reminder of the urgent need to address police brutality and misconduct. The actions of Sean Grayson are disgraceful and inhumane and reflect a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of the community. His actions are an alarming reminder of how police so often disregard Black lives.
It is crucial that the authorities take swift and decisive action in holding those responsible for Sonya Massey’s death accountable, and work towards rebuilding trust and ensuring the safety and dignity of all individuals in our communities.
