BREAKING MSNBC: No Severance Pay for Wilson

[MoonRiver]

Good! Not enough, but a little justice.

[seabeyond]

1. thanks for the info. i was waiting for this. not trusting though, i want to know he received NO $

seeing how people play with words. thanks.

[MoonRiver]

2. The Ferguson Mayor released the news.

I was watching MSNBC but CNN probably has it too.

Edit: I get your point. Will have to pay close attention to what's going on.

[Wella]

5. I'd hardly call it voluntary. However, the department did not owe him a retirement

[tritsofme]

3. As this was a voluntary separation from his employer, I don't see why he would be entitled to

severance or unemployment. Makes sense.

[RandySF]

4. No shit....

Severance packages are typically reserved for executive positions like City Manager. Assuming Ferguson is like any other police force, he walked away with vacation accrual. If he was there long enough to be vested into the pension system, he'll walk away with that, too.

6. He's been paid since August....

How many employees get canned immediately when they screw up, and get no unemployment, no severance, no nothing..

He killed an unarmed kid, and basically got a 3 month paid vacation..

I have NO doubt that his bosses have put out feelers for him so he can get another policing job somewhere when this all dies down..

7. Yup.

Fucker.

12. That, plus the hundreds of thousands of dollars he got from the bigots who donated to his

GoFundMe page.

13. He had a Go Fund Me page?

I would love to see that.

Anything he gets he better sock away for the lawsuits.

On edit...the page seems to be gone now.
It was up since around Aug.

14. I signed a petition to take it down. They did, not sure if the petition had anything to do with it.

I'd like to think so.

16. He is done as a cop.

There is not a department in this country that would hire him.

[Dawson Leery]

8. And Hannity cried.

[appleannie1]

9. He does not deserve any. But he, like Zimmy, got enough in donations

from the rightwing bigots that he can afford to live quite nicely. Besides, his new wife is a policewoman and can support his sorry butt.

[onehandle]

10. The same gun nuts who have been supporting Zimmerman will step up for Wilson.

Without calling it one, Fox News will become a telethon.

[bluesbassman]

11. His "severence pay" was not standing trial and possibly doing some time.

My guess is that's the deal that was offered to him; say what we tell you to say and when it's all over just walk away.

[davishenderson265]

15. Wilson was fired. No doubt about it.

[WillowTree]

17. Why would he? Who gets severance when they quit?

[MoonRiver]

18. For some reason it was discussed as something he might get.
