45 takes the side of law enforcement and pledges to give them total immunity,
along the lines of the ruling of his hand-picked Supreme Court Justices placing him above the law.
The case of Sonya Massey.
One of the female panelists at NABJ posed the question about his stated intention to grant total immunity to law enforcement officers.
Sonya Massey was a Black woman who called 911 for help, fearing there was a prowler.
She was shot in the face and killed by an officer who had been discharged from the military, and cycled through six law enforcement agencies in four years.
She was unarmed, in her own home, and was trying to take a pot of boiling water off of the stove at the officers' direction.
The officer who killed her did not have his body cam operating. The incident was captured by the accompanying officer on his body cam.
The family was not initially informed her death was an officer-involved-shooting.
