We need to consider Wilson's resignation from his perspective

[underpants]

Someone could just pulled up in their car and shoot him while he is walking down the street.

1. He could have looked like a demon to someone, and they could have performed an exorcism. nt

2. Oh...that could happen to anyone, anytime..

All the open carry mantra going on...I don't see that as an issue. Wilson knows he is a badass so he should be good to go and work.

3. Wilson is no badass. He's a coward. Not suggesting you were being serious.

I just needed to say it.

[FarPoint]

4. He believes he is a badass.

So do thousands of people. So, he is cleared to work. He acknowledged the job has always been a risk...so, he assumed the risk freely. To quit, makes him frightened now.

6. In the deepest recesses of his mind he knows better. nt

8. Who knows??

Delusional thinking is powerful.

5. And I don't think resigning will change that. Look at all the protests all over the country. He and

Zimmerman are both going to spend their lives in fear. Zimmy has not stopped looking over his shoulders. And a good deal of the threat is in their heads.

7. I don't need to consider anything from that murderer's perspective.

You can feel sorry for him all day long if you like, but I don't give one shit about whether or not he feels safe.

9. He's probably already been signed to be Fox's go to guy on race relations.

He's also got a truckload of cash from the Neanderthals who sent him money. Who needs a lousy police job when you've hit the jackpot?
