Nearly a week after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., police on Friday identified the officer as Darren Wilson.
Wilson is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police with no disciplinary record, Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson said at a news conference on Friday morning.
Jackson provided few other details about Wilson at the news conference and did not take any questions. He said that Wilson had been responding to a call shortly before noon on Saturday when there was a 911 call regarding a “strong-arm robbery” at a convenience store.
A description of a possible suspect was given over the radio, saying this person was walking toward the QuickTrip convenience store in Ferguson. An incident report handed out by police on Friday labeled Brown as a suspect in the convenience store robbery, which involved the theft of some Swisher Sweets cigars.
Wilson left the call he had been responding to and encountered Brown on Canfield Drive at 12:01 p.m., Jackson said.
Police also released these stills depicting a confrontation between Brown and a convenience store worker:

............Um the old beat-up “race card” has been DECLINED”.
Can’t find ‘em.
T'would be nice - problem is it is like the Plague and once out and untreated, it spreads and destroys.
The store clerk will be able to ID him. That "snitches get stiches" painted on the side of the QT is starting to make more sense now.
Sorry, thats not the Ferguson Police Officer Sgt. Darren Wilson. Several threads ID him as such but in fact this photo was of a Darren Wilson, Carolina State Trooper. We are still waiting fior a photo of the Fergus LEO, Sgt Wilson.

Good Heavens, I need to caffeine up!
I was thinking of the other kind of "thong"....wake me up!
I couldn't figure out how anyone knew if he was wearing a thong, boxers, or briefs.
No wonder the crowds are more orderly now. They can't blame whitey. The PD should've waited another week before disclosing the cop's name so the Reverends and the Obama's could continue to make fools of themselves on this matter.
Because one of them is gay. But you get +3 for your quick wit.
The cop has been on the force for 6 years. The guy in your post joined in 1996.
Post #28 seems convincing.
Yesterday you were pushing an arrest record for the wrong Michael Brown and today you post a picture (3 times) of the wrong Darren Wilson.
Have you no shame?
Thanks, I see that now. Will the real Darren Wilson please stand up?
If the cop is white: “Dey just gots some black uncle tom to take the blame.”
Black officers call for changes to ease racial tension in St. Louis police
He is black
Great find! All of those black police officers and employees look like wonderful people. Why don't the street thugs look up to people like that? And black doctors and lawyers and engineers?
Let me guess…the Community Organizers won 't let them.
No worries. I just hope he lives far enough from the scene.
The cop is most likely going to turn out to be a white guy. I’ve heard a few times already that the Furgeson police force has 3 blacks on it, in a force of hundreds.
The likelihood he is black is remote. I wouldn’t put any hope in that. (Although granted, it would be sweet if he were)
QT was not the store he robbed.
“T’would be nice - problem is it is like the Plague and once out and untreated, it spreads and destroys.”
Rather you are WRONG, a declined card is a declined card, “inactive”.
Good point. They’re lying so they know better than to say “white cop” when even they know it might be a “black cop”. So, better just to say “cop shot black kid”.
