http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2726349/Officers-begins-lift-weeklong-mystery.html
woman said that she went inside the QuickTrip grocery store in Ferguson about a month ago to get help after being pepper-sprayed in the face under unknown circumstances.
Employees at the store let the woman use their sink to clean her eyes and suggested that she use milk.
As she was pouring the dairy product in her eyes, the woman said police officers walked into the convenience store and ordered her to get out.
I came outside and I was trying to pour milk in my eyes and Wilson told me if I poured milk in my eyes, I was going to be arrested, she said on CNN.
In cop's defense: Wilson's friend Jake Shepard told CNN he is certain the officer was in fear for his life when the pulled the trigger
And I was trying to tell him that my eyes were burning because I was maced, but he told me to shut the F up.
The officer then allegedly made the woman sit on concrete as he took down her information.
When she renewed her efforts to treat her eyes with milk, she said Wilson again told her to 'shut the f*** up and sit the f*** down.'
I was looking at his name tag and I was telling myself that I would never forget who he was and what he did to me, said the woman. And I prayed on it and I asked God to get revenge on him.

"Wilson, a longtime Missouri resident, has been an officer in Ferguson for four years and served in nearby Jennings for two years prior. Jackson said Wilson has no history of disciplinary action and described him as a gentle man and a quiet officer.
He has been an excellent officer for the police department, Jackson said.

(3,183 posts)I don't know of many saintly people that execute people in the street. I have a feeling the only thing devastating that this man feels is all the coverage his crime is getting.

(15,745 posts)If this is the national database there is a record of that exchange. I hope some enterprising journalist makes makes a FOI request for the young ladies name and date of Officer Wilson's use of the database. The records are permanent directly linked to Homeland Security and most police departments monitor closely frivolous use of the database. This would give the Ferguson Police Chief an opportunity for another media event.
