“Each member of this department shall consider it his or her duty to be of service to the general public and to render that service in a kind, considerate, and patient manner.”

“As the family of George Robinson, we are pleased the Jackson Police Department officers involved in his death have finally been charged with murder."

“I commend Acting Prosecutor Mayer for acting swiftly to hold this police officer accountable for the appalling and completely unjustified use of force alleged in these criminal charges.”

Two of the officers were immediately fired for use of excessive force.

"This happens time and time again.”

According to police sources, the officer was disciplined for associating with a known felon, not for driving the vehicle into the water.
