Trying to save face. Caught lying and have no answers
About time…… he’s incompetent and should never work in a position of power again
What a scum bag 😠 dude really thought he was untouchable
When Sonya Massey dad said he wanted that sheriff to resign he meant it.
Retirement means a pension well into the 6 figures. That pension should be lowered to subsistence level for hiring that man.
The 2 biggest problems in American law enforcement can be summed up in just 4 words –
Qualified immunity
Police unions
Y'all should get your headlines right.
That's a DEPUTY SHERIFF, not THE sheriff. C'mon, you are the news….
The arrogance of even thinking it would be over for him soon w/o punishment is disguising. He actually thought those other officers would just allow him to terminate someone w/o any fault huh?
A completely disingenuous abdication of moral responsibility for hiring and supervising a repeated line stepper who clearly felt empowered to mete out deadly force when called to assist someone in need.
As He Should Resigned He Worked @ Multiple Places Red Flags Dummy!
It is quite chilling to think about that guy walking around with a gun.
This report looks like a monster ehy is she there just made me sick!!
In maritime tradition, the captain of a ship was held personally accountable for the actions of his crew. Let's apply that to law enforcement and see if things improve.
now he crying in jail..smh
This man really thought his father-in-law was going to get him out of this mess.. How arrogant of you? So Brazy, you just off the woman for nothing and you stand there talking to your buddies and I’m telling you they’re gonna take care of you, sickening..
She does not have a face for television 😂😂 clown news
Let's be honest, he isn't resigning, he's retiring. They said multiple times that he's retiring. He might not have planned on retiring this month, but he apparently is in a position where he can retire, so that's what he's doing. If he weren't vested in a pension or wasn't of retirement age, there's no way he'd be stepping down.
Your definitely not getting out tomorrow it’s probably gonna be in your next life time
If the judicial system does nothing the citizens should do something if not him the family
About time…A Failed Sheriff.👀😳
The COUNTY SHERIFF resigned not the sheriff deputy! Come on Yamiche, get your facts straight.
Yes the sheriff resigned with full pension and health care for Life he's a real trooper
Grayson is quite delusional. The sheriff is absolutely responsible. He shouldn’t get any more money. He gave him a gun.

They justvquit and get paid like nothing wrong
Grayson has mental illness
That cops is a psychopath and should jave never been hired, BUT i disagree with denying him bond, bond ahould always be available to people who aren't a flight risk, not going to destroy evidence or threaten witnesses, who arent an actibe danger to the public. Give him a really high bond, but he should have bond and the coirts need to not makes this a political case like they did for Rittenhouse.
The Sheriff that resigned should be held Accountable too
Go after the Sheriff's retirement money…
You know they made sure he'd be in there at least until after the DNC in Chicago. Cause you already know…
Police Reform should be a top priority for all Americans this election season
In US think long and hard before calling cops. At best the cops will come when criminals are long gone, at worst they be far worse than the people you were calling about.
You F’d up plain and simple 🤷🏽♂️
If they let that race soldier get away with that murder it will cost them like they never seen before 😢😢😢
Listen up you black Christians who heard The Donald saw he is not a Christian, you won’t have to vote after November, if elected he will push for legislation to give police immunity from prosecution and you think he is the lesser of two evils. 🤦🏽
GOOD
this was a terrible hire
a terrible look
LAWSUITS NOW!!!
Keep that cold blooded murderer in jail
So y'all said defund the police, and then make it real hard for the police to catch criminals. So now that nobody in their right mind wants to go into policing except whack guys like this, and you're surprised?? I'm not.
