shoot you. Do you understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Crawl towards me. >> Crawl towards me. >> Yes, sir. >> Don't talk. >> These are the body cam clips they hope you never see. Cops killing unarmed civilians, then walking free. No charges, no justice, just payouts and shattered families. How long will this go on? It's better if you're not. That's where you're at. I'll shoot you right in your face. >> Okay. I'm sorry. >> Talk the puck. >> I'm gonna go get my kit. >> No. Get head shot, dude. You're She's done. >> All right. I'm not even going to waste my medic. >> Let's start with this jaw-dropping case. A deputy shot a woman in the head just because she was boiling water, and he didn't show a shred of remorse. >> Is there anything you think we can do for her? No. >> All right. I'm not even going to waste my med stuff. >> July 6th, 2024, deputies from the Sangaman County Sheriff's Office responded to a call from 36-year-old Sonia Massie in Illinois. She believed someone was prowling outside her home. They didn't find anyone. The call should have ended there, but it turned into a nightmare. Sonia, who lived with schizophrenia, was visibly anxious and confused. Instead of backing off, Deputy Shawn Grayson pressured his way into her home. What followed was nothing short of an execution. >> Please don't hurt me. >> I don't hurt you. You called us. >> We're not over here. So, what'd you hear? >> Somebody just outside my house. >> Is this your car over here? >> Please. Please. Please. >> Is this your car over here? >> Uh-uh. >> Oh, >> that's not your black car in the driveway? >> Oh, well, we checked your yard. We walked around the whole block. We didn't see anybody. >> Uh-uh. >> You know, we don't We check the whole area. There's nobody out walking around. >> I know y'all. Please God. Praise God. I'm trying to get help y'all. But >> what do you need help with? >> Nothing. I just Please God. Please God. Please. I don't know what to do. >> Doing with what? >> Huh? >> What do you need help with? >> Nothing. I just wanted to see if you can help me. >> What do you want help with? >> What? >> What do you want help with? >> I heard somebody outside. >> Yeah, we checked your house. We checked your backyard. I walked all the way through all these backyards. We checked your front yard. We didn't see nobody. So, nobody's out here. >> You didn't see anybody? >> Nope. Nope. >> Check the whole area. Okay. >> What took you so long to answer the door? >> Oh, I was trying to put on some clothes, sir. I'm sorry. I was trying to get >> I got you. All right. Is there anything else we can do for you? >> Huh? >> Is there anything else I can do for you? >> Um, no, sir. >> Okay. Okay. All right. You doing all right mentally? >> Yes, >> sir. Medicine. >> Grayson fired three shots. One hitting Sonia just below the eye. One second. Check this. >> We don't need a fire while we're here. >> Right. Where you going? >> Huh? >> Where you going? >> Away with your hot steam water. >> Away from my hot steaming water. >> Yeah. >> Better [ __ ] not. That's where you're at. I'll [ __ ] shoot you straight your [ __ ] face. >> Okay. Drop the [ __ ] >> Drop the [ __ ] >> Drop the [ __ ] pot. >> Drop the [ __ ] team. >> Shots fired. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. Drop the [ __ ] pop. Bring email. We got a head shot. Wound to the female. Head shot to the female. 1078. >> I'm going to go get my kit. >> No. Head shot, dude. You're She's done. You can go get it, but that's a head shot. while shouting at her to drop the pot, a pot she wasn't even holding at first. When she flinched as he pulled his weapon and reached for it again, he pulled the trigger. Then came the unthinkable. He laughed, told his partner not to bother helping her. God damn it. God [ __ ] dude. I'm not taking [ __ ] boiling water to the [ __ ] head. And look, it [ __ ] came right to our feet, too. God damn it. bolstered up. Let her [ __ ] just >> There's nothing we can do, man. >> [ __ ] >> I'll go get my medkit. I mean, >> yeah. Get your medit. >> I mean, there's not much we can do. >> Is there anything you think we can do for her? >> No. >> All right. I'm not even going to waste my med stuff then. House is cleared. She was the only one. >> Where you going? >> No. She had a boiling water and came at me with boiling water. >> You shot her? >> Yeah. She said she was going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus and came out with blowing water. That's what we're all missing. >> Bragged that he hit her in the head. Even his own sergeant was stunned. Sonia had no weapon at all. Grayson was fired and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and official misconduct. Sonia's death devastated her mother and teenage son. >> It's not real. This can't be real. I don't know how this could be real. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> But her family didn't stay silent. They sued the county and won a $10 million settlement. The criminal trial is still ongoing. This is what forced accountability looks like when the system has no choice but to confront its own brutality. Next, a father of two was executed while begging for his life. >> Hey, young man, listen to my instructions and do not make a mistake. I said keep your legs broad. >> Sorry. I'm sorry. Please do not shoot me. >> Watch your hair. >> Don't. >> It was an execution. You had a man begging for his life. >> January 18th, 2016. Mesa, Arizona. Hotel guests called 911 after seeing 26-year-old Daniel Shaver with what looked like a rifle pointed out his window. But it wasn't a real gun, just a plet rifle Daniel used for his pest control job. Still, when Mesa police arrived, they treated him like an active threat. >> Stop right there. >> Stop. Stop. Get on the ground. Both of you lay down on the ground. >> Lay down on the ground. >> Who else is in the room? >> Nobody. >> Nobody else is in the room. Nobody positive. Nobody absolutely deposited. >> Okay. Since apparently we have a failure for you to comprehend simple instructions, I'm going to go over some of them again. Okay. Can you both hear and understand me? >> Yes. >> All right. If you make a mistake, another mistake. There's a very severe possibility you're both going to get shot. Do you understand that? >> Yes. >> I do. >> Yes. >> All right. >> What? >> This is Shut up. >> I'm not here to be tack diplomatic with you. You listen. You obey. For one thing, did I tell you to move, young man? Did I tell you to Yes, sir. >> Put both your hands. >> Put both your hands on the top of your head and interlace your fingers. Take your feet and cross your left foot over your right foot. >> Who else is in the room? >> Nobody. >> Young man, you are not to move. You're to put your eyes down and look down at the carpet. You're to keep your fingers interlaced behind your head. You're to keep your feet crossed. If you move, we are going to consider that a threat and we are going to deal with it and you may not survive it. Do you understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Young lady, shut up and listen. >> Officer Philip Braillesford, armed with an AR-15, barked confusing, conflicting commands as Daniel lay sobbing on the floor, pleading, "Please don't shoot me. Daniel's only mistake, reaching to pull up his shorts when they started slipping as he crawled forward. Braillesford fired five rounds into his body. >> Okay, young man, listen to my instructions and do not make a mistake. >> You are to keep your legs crossed. Do you understand me? Yes, sir. >> You are to put both of your hands palms down straight out in front of you. Push yourself up to a kneeling position. I said keep your legs crossed. >> I'm sorry. I'm just >> I didn't say this in conversation. Put your head there. Hand up in the air. >> You do that again. We're shooting you. Do you understand? >> Please do not shoot me. >> And listen to my instructions. >> I'm trying to do it. >> Don't talk. Listen. Hands straight up in the air. Do not put your hands down for any reason. You think you're going to fall, you better fall in your face. Your hands go back and the small of your back are down. We are going to shoot you. Do you understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Crawl towards me. >> Crawl towards me. >> Yes, sir. >> Don't get a bomb. >> No actual weapon was found, only the plet gun. Daniel's autopsy showed he had alcohol in his system, which may have made it harder to process the chaos, but there was no excuse for what happened. Braillesford was acquitted. Yes, he walked free despite being fired for unprofessional conduct. Daniel's 8-year-old daughter lost her father. >> An execution. You had a man begging for his life, and he was shot five times for what? For his elbow coming up too high, for being confused, for being compliant. Why did he deserve to die? He didn't. Don't understand how anybody could watch that video and then say not guilty. That this is justified. That Daniel deserved this and that Philip Rollsford doesn't deserve to be held accountable for his. She tried choking herself while she was at school and told her friend that she wanted to die. So I spent all last evening with her in the hospital getting her psychiatric help. >> What did Natalie say to you when you saw her? She told me that she wanted to be with her dad. >> His widow later won an $8 million settlement. And Braillesford, he got himself rehired just long enough to claim PTSD benefits, scoring a $2,500 a month pension after killing an unarmed man adjusting his pants. A man died. The officer who killed him got paid. Next, body cam footage shows police executing a man who didn't trust them, proving he had every reason not to. Touching my arm, bro. Let go. >> Why you acting like this? >> I'm I'm a little nervous cuz I don't like >> fire. >> February 22nd, 2022, Colorado. 32-year-old Richard Ward told officers he didn't trust them. Minutes later, they proved him right by shooting him dead. It all started with a simple mistake. Richard was at a school to pick up his younger brother when he accidentally got into the wrong car. A harmless mixup, one anyone could make. But instead of calmly clarifying, deputies treated him like a threat. >> What's going on? >> Wow. Call for me. Just looking for my little brother. Huh? >> Absolutely. >> Cool. Yeah. Just looking for my little brother. >> Okay. Who's little brother? >> Eddie. Uh, no. Chase Ward. >> Okay. Forgot who little brother was? >> No. All right. >> No, I'm just messing with you. I don't I'm just messing with you, man. >> Why you touching my arm, bro? Let go. >> Why you acting like this? >> I'm a little nervous cuz I don't like cops. >> Why? Have they? I have a different They've done things to me. >> What have they done to you? >> Uh, I mean, stop resisting when you're not resisting. >> Well, is that PD or us? >> Who knows? >> Cuz we're different, right? We're the So, >> I don't know. You treat us all. I mean, I'm not just trying to distract you, doesn't just I'm just a normal guy just trying to get >> his mother sitting nearby begged them to listen. Explaining it was all a misunderstanding. They didn't care. Richard, unarmed and in the middle of an anxiety episode triggered by his prescribed medication, was shot three times in the chest right in front of his family. >> You have an ID with you? >> I know. >> Do you have any weapons? >> Uh, >> do you have any weapons? >> I don't think so. I had a pocket. >> You don't think so? Don't pull out. >> Would you just stick in your mouth? What did you just stick in your mouth? >> [ __ ] pill. There's a pill. Let me go. Get up. Get up. Get up. Yeah. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> Put your hands behind your back, bro. >> Stop. Stop. >> Stop. Stop. Stop resisting, bro. >> Stop. Stop fire. Stop moving. Did you just shoot him? >> Are you going to shoot him? Is my son shot? You just shoot him with a weapon. >> You shoot him, dude. Did you shoot him? >> Did you shoot him? >> You shot him. >> Stay in the car. >> Stop, dude. Stop. Stop. Stop. Sir. >> Hey, I want you to name the gas of a man right now, dude. >> Hey, I'm not doing nothing. >> Hold on real quick. Just let us figure out what's going on. Okay. 911. >> The aftermath followed a familiar script. No charges, no accountability, another justified officer involved shooting. Now Richard's family is left with only a lawsuit and a gaping hole where justice should be. His real crime, anxious and vulnerable in a country where that's often a death sentence. Next, an officer executed an innocent man while he was on his knees. >> How you doing? Whoa. Put your hands. >> May 21st, 2020. Phoenix police showed up at 40-year-old Ryan Whitaker's apartment after a neighbor made a false 911 call, claiming a domestic dispute. The truth, the neighbor just wanted the police to arrive faster and didn't care what it might cost. That cost Ryan's life. >> Hi, Philip. I called about a half hour ago to report a domestic dispute. >> Okay. And to a male and a female and a verbal. >> Oh, yeah. And it's getting really loud and they've been doing it for the last hour. I got to get it to work tomorrow and I can't get no sleep. These guys have been noisy constantly. Every time I come back, these guys are noisier than hell. Always. >> Does it sound like it's escalated to anything physical or it still just sounds verbal? >> Oh, it could be physical. I I could say yeah. Does that make anybody hurry up and get over there any faster? >> What are you hearing to indicate that it might be physical? I hear slamming of doors and I don't know, somebody could be getting thrown into a door for all I know, but I hear all kinds of banging. >> Fix place. >> How you doing? Whoa. Put your hands hand Put your hands down. Ryan had been dealing with people knocking on his door as a prank. So when he heard a knock late at night, he answered with a gun, completely legal in his own home. But the moment he saw officers, he dropped to his knees and tried to surrender. Officer Jeff Cook shot him in the back anyway, three times. Ryan's girlfriend ran outside. >> Back away from the gun. Get back in. Get Get out here. Come out here. Come out. I'm not going to shoot you. Come out here. Come out here. Over here. Over here. Get down on your knees. Get down on your knees. Get down on your knees. Just get down. Just get down. Relax. Why did you chill? >> He's pulling on us. >> Okay. Because it's dark and someone just knocked on the door. Right here. Right here. Right here. Right here. finding him collapsed on the pavement. He died before help could reach him. And what happened next? A disgrace. Officer Cook was fired, then quietly reinstated after serving just 240 hours of suspension. The neighbor who lied to 911, no punishment at all. Ryan's girlfriend and family won settlements, $3 million, and an undisclosed amount, but not a single criminal charge was filed. No justice, no accountability, just another life lost and another cop who walked free. Next, body cam footage shows police executing a mentally ill homeless man based on a lie. >> You got to come out. >> You're going to get paid. You understand? Get outside. >> Leave me alone. >> You got to come out of here. >> Get back. >> March 1st, 2015, Los Angeles. Police swarmed 43-year-old Charlie Qunang, a homeless Cameroonian immigrant living with mental illness after a 911 caller falsely claimed he'd attacked someone with a baseball bat. What happened next was pure brutality. Officers approached Charlie like he was an armed threat, not a man in crisis. Sir. >> Sir. >> Hey, sir. >> You're going to get paid. You understand? Let me have a sense. You will get hurt if you don't comply. This taser is going to hurt. >> You run now also. And I say if sir, if you don't let me express myself, >> you're going to get paid. >> You don't let me. >> Can you relax? >> If you don't let me express myself, let me express myself. >> Don't walk up to me. >> Don't walk up. Stop it. You need to stop it right now. when he allegedly reached for an officer's gun, a claim heavily disputed by witnesses and activists. They unleashed six pointlank shots. Charlie collapsed on the sidewalk, bleeding out as officers stood over him. And the aftermath a disgrace. >> Hey, you got to get up against the wall so we can head. Hey, don't get back inside. Hey, >> hold on. Hold on. >> Hey, you got to come out. >> You're going to get paid. You understand? >> You got to step outside, man. Just got to figure out what's going on. Come on, brother. Just relax. You got to step outside. >> I'm shaking. >> I'm shaking. >> They're going to get >> Hey, put your hands up. >> Get down. Get down. >> Get his hand out. >> Get his leg. >> Stop resisting. Stop resisting. Go >> ahead. Get off my gun. Officer needs officer needs. >> No charges. The DA called it self-defense despite serious doubts. No accountability. Every officer kept their badge. $1.95 million settlement. The city paid Charlie's family but admitted no wrongdoing. His family got a check but never justice. Charlie's real crime being homeless, mentally ill, and black in America.
