Prosecutors alleged that when Grayson and his partner responded to Massey’s home, Grayson allowed her to move a pot of water heating on the stove, but as she set it on a counter, Grayson then “aggressively yelled” at Massey over the pot and pulled his 9mm pistol.

Massey then asked what the deputies were doing, to which Grayson responded, “Getting away from your hot, steaming water.”

“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” Massey said twice, according to the documents reviewed by NBC News.

Grayson responded, “I swear to God. I will shoot you right in your f------ face.”

When Grayson drew his service weapon and ordered her to drop the pot, she let go, then crouched below a line of cabinets, and declared “I’m sorry” before being shot in the face, prosecutors said.

Grayson did not render aid to Massey and discouraged his partner from getting his medical kit because he thought her injury was too severe, according to the court document filed in support of keeping Grayson in custody without bond.

      The article I saw right above this one was “Donald Trump says he’d like to take Kim Jong-un to a baseball game, as he brags about their friendship”

      So yeah, we don’t have a lot of options.

        US politicians do far worse than taking Kim Jong-Un to baseball games - have you seen the smorgasbord of death, torture and murder they treat Israel to?

            Israel already has nukes, Clyde - thanks to the US, France and Germany - and Israel already has permission to “finish the job” as far as the US is concerned. The problem for Israel is not that Israel doesn’t have “permission” but that the IDF is a failed military that cannot “finish the job” - even with nukes.

              I’m aware they have nukes the way Japan does. They aren’t fully assembled. As far as finishing the job is concerned, they don’t seem to need nukes, they’re just genociding them and starving them. Trump is just so damn nuke happy he wanted to nuke a hurricane.

            Both within American borders, and outside of them, the cruelty of the Republican part is ceaseless. The US and Palestine aren’t the only places that Republican rule can make worse.
