A public safety officer who reportedly ordered a “Trayvon Martini” from a black bartender in Missouri lost his job after social media backlash.
The guard, identified as Michael Dargy, Jr. by the Kansas City Star, allegedly proceeded to tell the bartender the supposed recipe: “One shot of vodka, watermelon juice, and it only takes one shot because it only takes one shot to put him down!”
A bartender who goes by Alobar Bandaloop posted about the incident on Facebook Monday. He said Dargy — who worked as a security guard in the Westport neighborhood in Kansas City — ordered the drink.
“Once this information was brought to our attention we opened an internal investigation which led to this suspension and the removal of the employee from the property,” said a statement from Dargy’s employer Chesley Brown International, an Atlanta-based firm that staffs the Westport Public Safety Team, published by the Star. “While the investigation continues and remains active the officer’s employment with Chesley Brown has ended.”
