Brunswick, GA — Caroline Smith was at a
low point in her life. She suffered from PTSD, Dissociative Disorder,
and was struggling with drugs and alcohol. These things should have
never been a death sentence, but thanks to two Georgia cops, they were.
An eye-opening investigation by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News was published earlier this month that shines a much-needed light on this case. The report illustrates the tragic events leading up to the killing of Caroline Smith and the subsequent special privilege granted to the officers who killed her which would allow them to get off scot-free — and keep their jobs.
On June 18, 2010, Smith was sitting in a mall parking lot in her car when a citizen allegedly saw her “doing drugs,” so they called police. When police showed up, Smith, who was in an obvious diminished mental state, drove off. A police chase ensued.
During the chase, which never exceeded 35 mph, Smith’s tires were blown out by spike strips. She was then pinned by two cruisers and a utility pole and riding only on her rims. Her car was effectively rendered immobilized.
