And #DeputySeanGrayson released after murdering #SonyaMassey. #BlackLiberation cannot exist without accountability. We have a long way to go.

On this day years ago #chicagopolice murdered #FredHampton and #MarkClark in cold blood. Today we watch media highlight @RahmEmanuel with no mention of his coverup of the murder of #LaquanMcDonald

Anybody else sensing a trend?.

He murdered Sonya in cold blood and instructed his partner not to render aid, yet the justice system has determined he is not a threat to our community. This decision underscores the deep injustices that continue to plague our courts.

We strongly condemn the pretrial release of former Deputy Sean Grayson’s release. Mr. Grayson demonstrated a gross lack of respect for Sonya Massey and his oath to uphold the law.
