The National Bar Association, an organization representing black lawyers and judges, has filed a lawsuit with the Missouri Department of Public Safety demanding the revocation of Darren Wilson's police officer license.
The group filed the suit last month. The association stated in a press release that it seeks the removal of Wilson's license “on the grounds that he committed a criminal act and did so under color of law with disregard for Michael Brown's life or public safety.”
Wilson was working as a Ferguson police officer when he shot and killed Brown, an unarmed teenager, on Aug. 9.
Citing threats of violence, Wilson resigned from the department on Nov. 29, five days after a St. Louis County Grand Jury voted not to indict him on criminal charges in Brown's death.
The group also took Wilson to task for his statement in an interview that Brown “looked like a demon” during the altercation that preceded the fatal shooting....

Amazingly funny, that.
Basically one segment of the Progressive Movement is telling another to sit down and stfu.
The ABA is just as bad. I haven’t belonged to either for decades.
Wow...it has everything, threats of violence, justification for abuse of white people, state police type demands barring photography, admissions of guilt re “illegal activities” etc.
SInce they are lawyers and judges, one supposes they know that stating he committed a criminal act could get them sued for slander. Apparently that’s what they want. It may be that they want him to sue so they get their chance in court to “prove” that their statement was accurate (double jeapardy, he’d be tried a second time for the same crime but they’d veil it under a different court case)
more blacks sticking up for black criminals and against cops because they’re white.
Yeah there are some bad cops out there. But for the most part America does not have a white police problem, it has a black thug culture problem.
Accusing someone of a crime on TV is slander.
Doing it in a lawsuit is protected activity.
In California and many other states, if you sued for slander based on the allegations in a lawsuit, they would move to strike your complaint, they would win, and you would pay their attorneys fees.
Strange but true.
” William Shakespeare’s Dick the Butcher in ‘Henry VI’ had it right.”
Yeah : )
That would be racist. Disparate impact and all that.
The same would happen if the award was extracted from the union pension fund. Additionally, the other cops would have skin in the game and do a little bit better self-policing of bad cops.
Great idea.
And yet, I doubt many will see this moment with the clarity required. If people of your own political persuasion are calling you a useful idiot, it's time to wake up.
Anyway, I'm not surprised there's a strata in the aggrievement industry. Even chickens set up a pecking order, and I'm willing to concede that leftists have brain sizes concurrent with that of a chicken.
PO “license?”
He gets no retirement.
Actually, double jeopardy does not apply. Wilson never went to trial for his actions; the grand jury simply failed to indict. Theoretically, the prosecutor in Missouri could reopen the case, indict Wilson and take the case to trial. Obviously, given the grand jury’s decision that would be very unlikely. However, it’s not a violation of double jeopardy.
Criminals supporting criminals. What more needs to be said?
Bastards. Leave the cop alone. The “civil rights” establishment has made his life miserable enough,
obama was correct when he said racism is deeply rooted in America;only thing is ,it is the blacks who are the most racist people!!!!
Very observant, aren’t you.
Cognizant, of all the variants!
One of the many, here on FR.
Steady on!
Thank you for the good info.
My comment was basically sneering that the judges/lawyers reject the court’s decision and are trying again to convict him. I object to lawyers/judges taking on this role. I believe that it sets a precident for a separate legal system for blacks.
Their bold statement at the end brings a question to mind about the urban class...
Which came first, the acting like a pig or being treated like a pig?
