Darren Wilson resigns from Ferguson Police Department

[Triana]

Citing security fears, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, has resigned from the police department.

Wilson, 28, who on Monday was cleared by a grand jury investigating the shooting, had been a member of the city's police department for six years.

In a brief telephone interview, Wilson said he resigned after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee.

"I'm resigning of my own free will," he said. "I'm not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me."

He said resigning was "the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

(Shall we take bets on how many days will go by before he is hired by the NRA and/or as a Fox "News" commentator?)

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

1. Or some place like Idaho, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee

anybody got a map?

Certain parts or Calif, would love to hire him

[Triana]

2. He's evidently hiding out at Chase Park Plaza hotel in STL with NG protecting him.

He'll likely be leaving town soon.

The man's a thug, bully and a coward. But as you say he'd be welcome in many places. I hope he has to spend the remainder of his life watching his back. In a sane country, he would. (OK well...in a sane country, he'd have been indicted)

[Joe Turner]

22. I take it that you don't believe the Jury

made the right decision based on overwhelming evidence that Wilson acted in self-defense and in keeping with standard police procedure. Is there anything else entering your calculus on Wilson being guilty?

[Triana]

27. I can see you are interested in defending what he did. I am not.

Goodbye.

[phil89]

60. He asked for you to support

your opinion. Evidently you can't.

[noiretextatique]

43. laughable

As the case presented to the jury. The prosecutor did not seek or want an indictment.

[Spazito]

47. The case presented to the jury was appallingly incompetent, to say the least...

and a deliberate action on the part of McCulloch to ensure wilson would not be held accountable for the murder of Michael Brown.

[HERVEPA]

54. Back under your rock.

[lpbk2713]

3. Following the script.

He was probably awarded a cash settlement to resign and leave
town so he wouldn't be a liability to the city and the PD.

[djean111]

4. Interesting that killing Brown was not the hardest thing he ever had to do. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

5. Yea, the asshole just does not get it. nt

[Joe Turner]

23. Doesn't get what?

Guilty by being the wrong color? Guilty by popular opinion? Or is this just a Democrat thing? The grand jury found him innocent, the evidence supports his story. The only crime I see are those that have made up their mind that Wilson is guilty regardless of the evidence and the jury's decision.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I think you mean "Democratic."

[Xipe Totec]

28. Betrayed by his own bias. ROFL!

Talk about outing yourself!

[Joe Turner]

35. Oh wow, what a great rebuttal!

LOL, at someone that can't outside the party line. What a putz.

[Xipe Totec]

41. "at someone that can't outside the party line"

What's the matter, can't handle cogent sentences?

[Kalidurga]

30. No he said what he means

he probably just didn't mean for the hood to slip so blatantly.

[Joe Turner]

34. No I meant Democrat.

It's an accepted and normal term to anyone but thin-skinned partisans that have no argument.

[Xipe Totec]

36. Accepted by freepers.

Shove off.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Nope. It's accepted by Republican cry babies...

...that's about it.

[OrwellwasRight]

59. You're supposed to be partisan on this website. Or haven't you read the rules?

Or maybe you're from a different party?

[otohara]

62. Cops Lie All The Time

There's your argument.

Are you watching NCIS I, II,, II, IV and other murder network shows that portray police officers on the up and up.

[Xipe Totec]

31. Wrong forum. Freeper Repugs is two doors to the right. Keep walking till you fall off the flat earth

[Joe Turner]

42. I think I'll stay here Thanks

Yeah, I don't always tote the party line but one thing is for sure. You and certain others here certainly act like the Brainwashed Fanatical Freepers you so love to deride. See ya later. Until then, next time try to formulate an argument before attacking. It's makes you look like such a fool.

[Xipe Totec]

44. Good luck!

[noiretextatique]

63. what do you want on your tombstone?

Some newbies get up pizzas.

[noiretextatique]

45. the gj failed to indict...not the same as innocent

Sociopaths lack empathy. He is one.

[FarPoint]

51. You sound like your military or want a be ...cop.

Can't see the trees for the forest phase of life. Good luck with that metamorphosis.

[sheshe2]

57. Are you talking about the white racist cop, the one with gun, Joe?

The one fully trained in law enforcement? The one that shivered at the demon that ran from him and was so in fear for his life he chased him down and murdered him, shot him again and again and again. We know who was the wrong color and it was not Wilson.

Your posts are bullshit.

[Triana]

6. +1 n/t

[treestar]

13. Exactly

Good catch. I had skimmed over that. This guy is completely tone deaf.

[NYC_SKP]

7. "The hardest thing I've ever had to do." I guess murdering a black kid didn't make the cut.

Sick fucker who truly deserves to be fed to dogs.

[Rex]

14. Having looked at some links by trolls on DI, I see why he is that way.

White racists don't recognize black people as humans. So the fact that Wilson won't even mention Brown, is a good indication that is how he feels about him. You have to wonder how many Klansman are part of those local PD forces. IMO, that is why we hear Wilson say he would do it over and over again and not change anything. Admitting that he would never use his ASP or mace...IOW he would kill Brown as many times as it takes.

Oh and people here are right, DI is a huge cesspool. However you can learn a lot about fucked up people like skinheads by following their links and reading about their racist mindset. It is amazing how delusional these people are and it is also why they are dangerous to society at large.

[NYC_SKP]

38. It wouldn't be fair to the dogs.

I hope you haven't forgotten that I have defended you often against DUers who stalk you.

Anyway, I was picturing rabid pit bulls and Wilson, but that's pretty macabre.

Some form of lasting mental torment would be more commensurate with his deeds.

[backwoodsbob]

46. I know you have defended me

and I appreciate it.
I just realize I don't belong here in the echo chamber

[Rex]

8. He's moving fast, probably hired an agent with all that blood money from ABC.

Get ready to hear about him getting hired as a security expert on Foxnews, any day now. The contract is already signed.

[rbrnmw]

11. Yeah they got that OJ detective

I can't even remember his name

[Rex]

16. It dawned on me why he won't even bring up Brown, black people are not humans to him.

So while losing a job is horrible, no rational person would say it is worse than killing a child in cold blood. Rational people. Wilson OTOH is depressed now because he has to move and lost his job...I bet he doesn't even think about the kid he killed.

I personally hope he wakes up in hell tomorrow.

[rbrnmw]

55. I hope he lives to be old and in fear for his life

every minute of everyday then burns in hell

[sheshe2]

61. At the very least he belongs in a Psych ward~

He sees demons after all.

[shenmue]

19. Mark Fuhrman

I think that's who you mean.

[YarnAddict]

49. Big difference

Mark Fuhrman never killed anyone.

[rbrnmw]

9. taking a life wasn't hard for the POS

I hope he has to sleep with one eye open for the rest of his worthless life

[FLPanhandle]

10. He will walk off into money he could only dream of as a cop.

He will have to move though.

[MoonRiver]

12. He's got his one half million from ABfuckingC news, so why not.

[backscatter712]

15. Starting his new career on the cable news circuit.

I'm sure FAUX News is paying him handsomely.

[TheKentuckian]

17. Fox Law Enforcement Analyst is too demanding for all of that job shit.

[shenmue]

18. Here's a CBC story

I have no doubt he'll be on Fox pretty soon.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Fuck him sideways

[olddots]

21. he should be opening for a puppet show at Fulsom

His 15 minutes will drag on for ever .

[KingCharlemagne]

29. In some ways I feel like the story has moved on from Wilson to now

encompass either DA McCulloch's incompetence or his malevolence (or both). Not sure whether that's a positive or negative development, just what I have observed over the past 3-4 days.

[mzteris]

25. book and movie deal n/t

[neverforget]

26. Shocking that this guy has no empathy.

It's all about him. Fuck him.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. I wish I could say I was shocked that resigning was the hardest thing for him...

[PumpkinAle]

37. He's going to team up with Zimmerman

and start a new chapter of the KKK.

[noiretextatique]

39. good you murdering scum

I hope Karma catches up with him real soon.

[herding cats]

48. Anyone know how much he got in donations?

I saw the Daily Mail was reporting it was around 1 million, but that's the Daily Mail and they're a lying rag. I know he got mid-to-high six-figure payment from ABC for his interview, though. I imagine between the donations and the payment for his interview, plus future appearances and whatever book deals he swings, he's richer than he'd ever expected to be in his life.

How's that for f'd up, he killed a kid two days before the kid could start tech school and work toward a future, and he's the one who ends up banking from the kids death.

[Blue_Tires]

53. The figures I've seen most-quoted are

Half-mil+ in donations and another half-mil from ABC

[herding cats]

58. That's so wrong.

In a nation where it's not uncommon for a person to have to work two (or more) jobs to keep food on the table and the basic needs of their family met, a man who kills an unarmed kid gets a million dollars for his deed.

The bias, prejudice and hate in this country is seriously out of control. I used to have an idealistic attitude that we'd learn and grow. It's died a slow and painful death since 2000.

[ecstatic]

50. Citing security fears? How about the fact that he's grossly unqualified for the position?

How about the fact that he took someone's life? Or that he experiences psychotic delusions in which he transforms into a 5 year old boy fighting demons and cartoon characters while on duty?

Brown's killer should have been fired, but instead they let him resign on his own free will while citing an excuse that only serves to demonize and further alienate the community they're supposed to be protecting.

[LostInAnomie]

52. Probably a good idea.

With all the raw nerves in the area, the media coverage, and the fact that the NY Times published what street he lives on, it would probably be best to leave for his own safety.

[rbrnmw]

56. I hope he feels fear for his safety

I am sure Mike Brown died terrified

[Iggo]

64. Good.

Murderers shouldn't be cops.

[Bethany Rockafella]

65. He doesn't have to work

From what I understand he hit the jackpot.
