Darren Wilson identified as the officer who shot Michael Brown

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:

News says Wilson has been on the force for only 6 years.

This link you’ve provided says he started in STL PD in ‘96...

Didn’t Al No-so-Sharpton call this “gentle giant” a baby?

Why yes he did. In the words of one ABF* in the Wednesday night riots.... “(Bleep) Al Sharpton. He ain’t never did nothing for us.”

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

The narrative has been completely blown out of the water.

Sergeant Darren Wilson

Perhaps, but the Darren Wilson who shot Michael Brown is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson Police Department. However, the black Darren R. Wilson on the Ethical Society of Police Website is an eight-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department.

Could be. This situation keeps looking weirder and weirder.

What’s the possibility that the Libs got the name, and assumed it was the St.Louis cop rather than the Ferguson one?

On the tweet where this is, you can see all the AA’s excusing him and saying it isn’t Brown.

This is a few minutes before he died, so they should have the hat, sneakers, etc..

Maybe thats his buddy in the picture.

The Ethical Society of Police says that Darrel R. Wilson is with the St. Louis Police Department, primarily the North Patrol Division. That does not sound like Ferguson.

Headline says Darren Wilson.

Current text says David Wilson.

“Police on Friday said that David Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown last weekend, confronted Brown after the teenager was identified as the main suspect in a convenience story robbery that occurred on Saturday morning.”

These are the last pictures of him alive? It would be nice to give these to the mom, so she can be proud of the angelic college student that she raised.

Let's not forget about the sperm donor.

“or Ice tea.”

It wasn’t ice tea. That was made up by the ‘Treyvon Martin is nice young boy’ team.
