The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the death of Sonya Massey, a Black woman in Illinois who called 911 for help only to be shot and killed by a responding deputy.
As calls for police accountability mount over the killing of Sonya Massey, the Black woman who was shot by a sheriff’s deputy in her Illinois home, I’ve thought about the stubbornness of police violence — how this issue can seem intractable and insurmountable, given how frequently incidents like this seem to occur. And as presidential election talk rages on, I think it’s natural for people to feel a bit helpless.
” One could argue that Trump wouldn’t have any federal authority to do such a thing as president. But after the Supreme Court’s Trump-friendly immunity ruling, few things seem out of bounds, legally speaking. Trump has also vowed to indemnify police officers “against any and all liability,” seemingly meaning that police who mete out violence on the job — even deadly violence — would be even more shielded from lawsuits than they already are. And there’s a clear contrast here.
