It is becoming clear that the best way for a police officer to get a paid vacation is to kill or seriously injure someone – preferably someone from the minority community.
It’s my theory, but it’s based on facts. Look at just about all the police shootings nationwide where the incident received some media attention. The officer is usually at home, chilling, and collecting a paycheck. In the more recent shooting Ferguson MO. where Mike Brown was murdered, his killer, Darren Wilson, is on a paid vacation. And in other case in Baltimore where the victim wasn’t killed, but jumped and beaten mercilessly by a police officer in June of this year, that officer has been on vacation since then, collecting a paycheck all the time, while the investigation is conducted.
Here is another police shooting, another black dead victim and the shooting officer is home or at Disney World, receiving a check.
Kill someone, go on vacation while getting paid. How cool is that?
Charles Smith, a 29 year old man with outstanding warrants in Savannah Georgia, was apprehended, handcuffed with his hands behind his back by police and placed in the back of a police car. According to the officer, Smith was safely locked away in the back seat, but he somehow managed to bring his hands to the front – still handcuffed mind you – and kicked out the backseat window.
Seeing his opportunity to go get paid while on vacation, officer David Jannot – a 10 year veteran of the Savannah police force, said he saw a gun on the prisoner and opened fire, killing Smith on the spot. Police say a gun was found, tucked away under Smith’s dead body.
The angry crowds gathered. Savannah mayor Edna Jackson, who undoubtedly saw the catastrophic mayoral response in Ferguson Missouri when Mike Brown received his untimely death sentence from officer Darren Wilson, jumped on the incident and assured the gathering crowds that all will be done to get to the bottom of the situation.
“This will be cleared up, this will be cleared up,” she said at the scene, according to WTOC. “We don’t need anything to happen and we are going to keep the family and the community informed about everything that is going on.”
I wonder if officer David Jannot already had his Disney pass before pulling the trigger?
