Solange Rips Treatment Of Black Woman in U.S. After Sonya Massey Shooting

The fatal police shooting of Sonya Massey has saddened Solange Knowles like many Americans — and she’s making a nuanced point about this being a regular thing in the U.S.

After taking in the brutal body cam footage that was released this week — Solange called out America for its historic treatment of Black women … scoffing at the responding officer’s disbelief Sonya had asked not to be hurt right from the get-go when they arrived.

Sonya’s plea still resulted in her dead on her kitchen floor with a bullet in her head, and Solange says words don’t hold the same weight for Black women as they do everyone else.

In a separate post, Solange shared a 2015 video of Sandra Bland — the Texas woman found dead in her jail cell later that year after a controversial police stop — in an effort to connect the dots of police brutality towards Black women.

Solange’s discography touches a lot on social justice — so it’s par for the course she’d speak out about this. Of course, her POV is getting a lot of support and kudos online too.

Attorney Ben Crump and Sonya’s father, James Wilburn, also spoke out when they joined “TMZ Live” on Tuesday … and, meanwhile, Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson has since been fired and charged with murder. He’s pleaded not guilty.
