Darren Wilson left town days ago.
Did prosecutors allow him to leave the state? Do they know where he is?
TPM:
Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo. police officer who was identified Friday as the cop that killed an unarmed black teenager last weekend, reportedly skipped town with his family days ago.
USA Today reported that no one answered the door Friday at Wilson's Crestwood, Mo. home. A police officer keeping watch over the home told the newspaper that Wilson had left town with his family days ago.
A neighbor told USA Today that she'd had no idea that Wilson was the cop who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown until Friday morning, when Crestwood police informed residents that Wilson was involved in the incident and their neighborhood would draw attention.
It's unclear exactly when Wilson left the area. The fatal shooting occurred Saturday.

(5,946 posts)he was placed on leave and not charged with anything so he could just go. But i can see getting your family out of there even if you could not go.

Unless the neighbor followed the family to wherever they are, what makes you believe he left the area generally?

(15,429 posts)Because the Chief and the DA decided from the moment the murder occurred that this cop would not go down for murdering a black kid?
The DA is a piece of shit like the chief. He's the one that was so outraged that governor Nixon would DARE impugn the local police by putting the state police in charge and keep the peace instead of making war on the black community.

I feel sorry for his family.
