Former McIntosh County Sheriff\u2019s deputy Brant Gaither was fired in July 2016 for posting racist comments on Facebook.<\/p>\n
A white Georgia sheriff\u2019s deputy has been terminated and another white officer abruptly resigned following an internal affairs investigation that uncovered racist and sexist messages they sent each other on Facebook, including one that described what appeared to be an effort to target black motorists.<\/p>\n
The two officers \u2014 both former McIntosh County sheriff\u2019s deputies \u2014 served on the department\u2019s special traffic unit that patrols I-95 in South Georgia. The two officers sent offensive jokes back and forth through the Facebook\u2019s messaging service and used texting shorthand \u201clol\u201d to indicate laughter.<\/p>\nFormer McIntosh County Sheriff\u2019s deputy Brant Gaither<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
One joke referred to \u201ccolored people\u201d and another used the word \u201cn\u2014\u2014 ,\u201d according to records reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.<\/p>\n
Another showed an image of Martin Luther King Jr. and denigrated his most famous speech.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a dream. That one day my people will not act like animals,\u201d posted Brant Gaither, the McIntosh deputy who was terminated July 25.<\/p>\n
Former McIntosh County Sheriff\u2019s deputy Brant Gaither was fired in July 2016 for posting racist comments on Facebook. \n\u201cLol. That\u2019ll never happen,\u201d responded Jeremy Owens, a police officer in Darien, the county seat, who resigned the day after Gaither was fired. Owens previously worked in the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
And in an apparent reference to their policing of the highways, Owens said: \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to rain tomorrow. Might not get too many niggs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope we get a few but (expletive) if we don\u2019t,\u201d Gaither replied.<\/p>\n
The posts have drawn the attention of the Southern Center for Human Rights,which dispatched a lawyer to the county last week.<\/p>\n
The center\u2019s staff has been interviewing people in the county and is seeking information from witnesses who may have had interactions with deputies or information about the department\u2019s policing practices.<\/p>\n
Sarah Geraghty, the center\u2019s managing attorney for impact litigation, said the non-profit law firm is preparing a formal request for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case goes deeper than two officers caught using racist language on their personal social media pages,\u201d Geraghty said. \u201cThe messages reference an explicit intent by these law enforcement officials to \u2018get\u2019 black motorists. Our investigation to date suggests that this may be the tip of the iceberg.\u201d<\/p>\n
The disclosures in sparsely populated McIntosh, a county of about 14,000 residents on the Georgia coast, follow two other high profile allegations of racism in Georgia that have recently made news.<\/p>\n
A Forsysth County elementary school teacher\u2019s aide was fired Monday after posting messages on Facebook that described first lady Michelle Obama as a gorilla. A Douglas County commissioner apologized last month after a tape of him surfaced making disparaging comments about black leaders and their fitness for office.<\/p>\n
In McIntosh, the racist posts were discovered in July when a deputy was issued Owens\u2019 old computer containing access to his Facebook account, according to Sheriff Stephen D. Jessup.<\/p>\n
Jessup said the posts were deeply offensive and made him \u201cwant to throw up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was never any question of what I needed to do and I did it,\u201d Jessup said. \u201cI do not tolerate that in my department.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessup said the local solicitor has notified him that some of the cases involving the officers may be dismissed and he supports the decision. He said he treats everyone in the community fairly and has no knowledge of his department targeting black motorists.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere better not be and me find out about it,\u201d Jessup said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t tolerate it. If I found out about it I would fire them and prosecute them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Owens and Gaither declined to comment when contacted by phone.<\/p>\n
Officer: \u2018It was just a joke\u2019<\/p>\n
Records show Gaither was terminated for violating the department\u2019s policies around immoral conduct and behavior unbecoming a deputy. He and Owens had worked together until December when Owens left to join the Darien police department. Both men completed two hours of diversity training last October, according to state records.<\/p>\n
One of the exchanges made light of domestic violence against women, and another made an offensive joke about a black pregnancy test and fried chicken.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe content was highly racist, misogynist, and offensive toward a fellow deputy,\u201d according to Chief Deputy George A. Trexler\u2019s memo to Gaither terminating his employment.<\/p>\n
When he learned that Jessup was firing him, Gaither said: \u201cIt was just a joke, we all do it\u201d but acknowledged it was a \u201cstupid mistake,\u201d according to Trexler\u2019s memo. Trexler said when investigators pressed Gaither about his suggestion that others in the sheriff\u2019s agency made these types of jokes or comments, he couldn\u2019t provide any credible information.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no joke about something like that. Period,\u201d Sheriff Jessup said. \u201cIt\u2019s total racism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheriff faces re-election<\/p>\n
About a third of the population in McIntosh County, which sits along the Georgia coast between Savannah and Brunswick, is African American. It has a long history of oppression of black citizens and was the setting of a 1991 non-fiction book, \u201cPraying for Sheetrock,\u201d by Atlanta author Melissa Fay Greene.<\/p>\n
Greene tells the story of how the civil rights movement seemed to bypass the isolated county, ruled by a notorious white sheriff well into the 1970s. The police shooting of an unarmed black man inspired a local black activist, Thurston Alston, to challenge the sheriff and bring change to the county, Greene writes.<\/p>\n
The allegations come as Jessup is facing re-election next month. Jessup, a former county commissioner, is facing a challenge from the former sheriff, Charles Jones, an African-American, who he defeated in 2008.<\/p>\n
Jessup said he has shown the Facebook posts to his staff and has not tried to hide it from residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are my people,\u201d Jessup said. \u201cI\u2019m there to protect and to serve. I\u2019m there to represent all of them. I treat them all the same, everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
