Cops kill Downs Syndrome man who refused to vacate movie seat.

[Cameron]

The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office says the death of a mentally disabled man in police custody has been ruled a homicide.

Cpl. Jennifer Bailey said Friday that the state medical examiner determined that 26-year-old Robert Saylor of New Market died of asphyxia Jan. 12.

Saylor had Down syndrome.

Bailey says he died after resisting arrest by three deputies at a Frederick movie theater. An employee had called police because Saylor wouldn’t leave his seat after a movie. . .

I find it to be extremely unusual that deputies are still on regular duty.

Dear Citizens:

Because of my very serious concerns for the messages posted by the public on Facebook and other social media sites, I feel it is only appropriate as the head of this agency to respond as much and as respectfully as possible to your concerns. First, I do understand the negative outcry and frustration by those who have expressed their concerns about the death of Mr. Robert Saylor.

The death of Mr. Saylor was very tragic and I want to assure everyone that a thorough investigation is being conducted. . .

For those who have expressed concern about the work status of the involved deputies, the three deputies are on Administrative Leave pending the outcome of the investigations.

Procedurally, this was the appropriate decision ONLY after this agency received the cause and manner of death of Mr. Saylor from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Before releasing this information to the media, I felt it was a priority for the Saylor family to meet with the investigator and be told of those findings directly rather than learn from media sources.

After thorough consideration of all of the facts, I made the decision to place the deputies on Administrative Leave. When completed, the death investigation will be forwarded to the Office of the State’s Attorney for Frederick County for review to determine if this case will be presented to a Grand Jury. . .

Sincerely,


Sheriff Charles A. Jenkins

Translation:

My three deputies accidentally killed Mr. Saylor using excessive and unnecessary force. I am hoping that a white washed investigation will get rid of this annoying public outcry, but since the medical examiner ruled this a homocide I may have to hang one or all three of the officers out to dry in the hopes of avoiding a multi million dollar lawsuit, which it is clear we would lose.

I still hope to sweep this under the carpet but the public outcry doesn't look like I will be able to. Crap!
