SONYA MASSEY
Justice for Sonya Massey!
Sonya Massey, a beautiful and educated Black woman, was tragically shot and killed in her own home after seeking help from the police. Former deputy Sean Grayson, who has a history of employment across six different police departments within a span of just under 4 years, was responsible for this senseless act. The Illinois State Police determined that Grayson’s use of deadly force was unjustified. On July 17, 2024, a grand jury indicted Grayson on five counts, including three counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, and one count of official misconduct. Sonya Massey’s father said, “It's probably the most horrible heart-wrenching thing that we’ve ever seen in our lives. But if it were not for the body cam footage, we would not have known that this occurred.” We must continue to share her story and demand justice.

“I HAD TO FLEE KANSAS IN FEAR OF MY LIFE … FOR COOPERATING IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A MURDER OF A … GIRL BEING SEX TRAFFICKED BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME PLEASE.”
“THE CORRUPTION IS NOT ONLY IN OUR POLICE STATION BUT ALL THROUGHOUT THE UNIFIED GOVERNMENT AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES.”
“IN KANSAS CITY KANSAS THE POLICE FAILED TO CONDUCT A INVESTIGATION AND PUT ME IN JAIL ON HEARSAY AND NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE…”
“SUPERVISORS ABUSED THEIR POSITION BY MAKING SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARDS FEMALE DEPUTIES AND CIVILIAN STAFF. THEY USED THEIR POSITION TO INTIMIDATE OTHERS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO GO TO WORK WHEN YOUR SUPERVISOR WAS CLEARLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL.”
"Report me to who? The police? I am the police.”
“My sister's dead. My cousin's dead. My life has been ruined. The Unified Government, Kansas City, Kansas, did me wrong.”
“...we watched our friends and families die and disappear and without any help, without being able to cry out to anybody…”
“You would think that they were talking about the Mafia. Drugs, murders, trafficking minors and women. Every crime you can think of. That government looked like they supported it. And the police were involved in it. There was no where you could go for refuge from that…”
“When Golubski was asked in a 2020 deposition in a civil suit if he’d ever raped an underage girl in his cop car, or had a lucrative side hustle in drugs and prostitution, or investigated a crime he himself had committed, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. He did that 555 times in a single sitting.”
“Golubski also contends that in 1997 the state of the law did not provide him with ‘fair warning’ that he could be held criminally liable under 18 U.S.C. § 242 when using his badge of authority to engage in kidnapping and/or sexual abuse.”
“...Golubski argued at the [motion to dismiss] hearing . . . that at the time [of the alleged crimes] there was no substantive due process right to avoid being raped or kidnapped by a state actor.”
