Join us as we unravel the heartbreaking story of Sonia Massey, a 36-year-old from Springfield, Illinois, whose fatal interaction with deputies on July 6, 2024, raises profound questions about police protocols and the ethical dimensions of their actions. Through detailed analysis, we reflect on the events that led to this distressing outcome and the broader implications for handling mental health emergencies more compassionately.
