JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi grand jury decided not to bring criminal charges against a sheriff’s deputy who fatally shot a man who was yelling “shoot me,” the state attorney general’s office said Monday. The Hancock County Sheriff’s Department said three deputies responding to a report of an attempted break-in found Isaiah Winkley, 21, of Coweta County, Georgia, when they arrived outside a home in Kiln on Dec. 10, 2022. A federal judge reviewed video recorded by an officer’s body camera that showed Winkley holding a steel fence post in one hand and candy in the other as he yelled “Shoot me” several times to the deputies.  One deputy shot Winkley with a Taser that had little effect, and then deputy Michael Chase Blackwell used a gun to shoot Winkley multiple times, wrote the judge, who is overseeing a separate civil case brought by Winkley’s family.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Listen, everything about the killing of Sonya Massey by now-former Illinois deputy Sean Grayson is infuriating. But the fury spawned by the police body-cam footage that shows definitively that Grayson had absolutely no reason to pull his gun, let alone shoot Massy, aside, we should also be outraged at the evidence that indicates Grayson should never have been called to Massey’s home in the first place—because he shouldn’t have been a cop anymore even before that night.
