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:

Thank you.

No disciplinary record. 6 years in force. The man is about to go through hell.

It is going to be interesting to see what the race baiters Jesse, et al., will claim about this.

Well, the drill ... all lies. Slander. Just want to ruin the memory of a nice mama’s boy that was just starting trade school.

Things are a lot clearer now in the light of day.

Perhaps the “gentle giant” is not so gentle.

Is he a black black or a White Hispanic Black? Jesse needs to know.

Maybe some black should go to the same place based on their conduct. Some blacks feel that they are above the law and can create hell just for fun. Most Americans are getting real tired of this shi!.
