Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who killed unarmed teen Michael Brown in August, setting off months of protests, will likely never be a law enforcement officer again, his lawyer said in an interview with NBC station KSDK.
"Realistically speaking, Darren will never be a police officer again, and he understands that," attorney Jim Towey said. "Going forward it will be school, and trying to carve out a new niche, new career, for he and his family."
There were violent protests this week in the St. Louis suburb after a grand jury declined to indict Wilson in Brown's death on Aug. 9. Twelve buildings and a police car were torched, police officers were pelted with bottles and rocks, and tear gas was used against crowds in protests after the grand jury's decision Monday. Other protests also erupted across the country....

Zimmerman is just a guy, why are you going after him?
Are you an example of what crawls out of the woodwork when a person manages to use a gun to save his life while being beaten to death?
Northern Idaho is retired LEO...
I am not familiar with the intricacies with federal civil rights violations, but I believe the statutes are real flakey, and can invoke felony status with the equivalent of jaywalking. You can bet Holder isn't going to go away empty handed.
Thus I am afraid that Darren Wilson may be put in position where he can't even defend himself.
Hope he finds work.
As Al Sharpton’s body guard
It hasn’t been almost three years since he shot the Gentle Giant, has it?
“It is a disgrace, a blot on every single one of us that we allow this to happen.”
First of all, very few cops shoot anybody during their entire career.
If I were running the show, I would make it clear to cops that; (1) It was their primary job to defuse situations without the use of deadly force. and;
(2) At the same time advising them that they had the same right to defend themselves or others using deadly force that any other citizen did. No more, no less... However;
3. In the use of deadly force in (2), you have failed in your primary job in (1) and are there by dismissed from your duties in Law enforcement.
Sounds unfair? Who ever said life was fair? This is the kind of bold step that needs to be taken to weed the wacko warriors from our police forces and restore the respect of the citizens at large.
With regard to Darren Wilson, he should not be in law enforcement in the future. That’s not to say the shooting wasn’t justified, it undoubtedly was at the instant of the shooting. IMHO, that doesn’t matter.
Don’t forget that he just married another cop. That could complicate his future.
You do not live in the real world.
You are so far removed from reality that I hope no one wastes one single word trying to reason with you.
I certainly will have nothing more to say to you.
Well, I heard about it, but there was no way I was going to watch those evil scum bags on live TV. What scum bags.
No, I didn’t watch that live, either. Their God is not God, but something else entirely.
“Are you an example of what crawls out of the woodwork when a person manages to use a gun to save his life while being beaten to death?”
I am not talking about his use of a gun. I am talking about his penchant for getting into trouble. He broke traffic laws and other things after he got off. He should lay low if he values his life I am saying that I hope DW has enough sense to do so.
Don’t forget think about doing celebrity boxing vs. The Game.
Why put up with that?
My hat is off to Officer Wilson for lasting at the job as long as he did. I read he was earning $45,300. There must be easier ways to earn a living than dealing with Michael Browns all day long. I hope he had a "plan B" and wish him luck with it.
WOW, so true.
Number 2 is flaky, I have some great stories involving guns and knives, but I chose to intervene, as a cop, I would HAVE to intervene, there are situations where I took the risk to fight for the gun or knife, that if I was a cop, I could not have taken that risk, or should be required to.
I call for cops to take more risks to end this killing of innocents, but we need to be realistic and not go overboard, one of us in a cop uniform is not the same as one of us getting to choose our battles and when we want to participate, and to what degree, and for how long.
So what, he is just a Joe, a normal man, I’m not aware of any big deals, or crimes in his life that I would have noticed particularly for a common guy, before he became “George Zimmerman”.
How right you are and how wrong are tens of millions of American citizens.
I can’t argue with that.
