"We were not after Wilson's job," civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said in a written statement. "We were after Michael Brown's justice."

The thug already got his justice.

Do you blame him? Could anyone? The guy does exactly what he should, and only a fraction of one side of the political spectrum is behind him. Everyone else wants him sued, jailed, or DEAD. Make no mistake - we are the minority this time.

No necessarily true. Every article allowing comments I've read are NOT on the side of the lynch mob.

Our local paper had to pull their articles from their facebook page because the massive flood of comments were running 95% against the pro MB articles they were publishing.

And this is a bigtime liberal UAW community with a significant percentage of blacks. The protestors amounted to exactly 4 whites who stood on the courthouse square with signs. About the same number of those who staged Occupy protests in this town

[Brown Deer]

"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process."

that sucks. we need good cops

[Morgana]

“He should leave policing and join Blackwater.”

There is a thought!

[Chode]

no real choice

[Celtic Conservative]

Casino security in one of the Las Vegas casinos could use him. He need not be on the gaming floor. They could put him in the vault or counting rooms. The camera banks would be a good place too.

” The guy does exactly what he should,...”

No question that Wilson did exactly what he was trained to do. But it’s hard to live with killing someone, regardless. I know lots of Vietnam vets who still struggle with having killed. Depending on the kind of person he is, Wilson may always wonder if he and Brown both might have been better off if Wilson had waited for reinforcements to arrive instead of setting off in solitary pursuit, knowing that if he got into a confrontation he could not defend himself short of deadly force.

The terrorists have won.

[napscoordinator]

Well he certainly is exactly Mr. innocent in all this. He certainly could have done things differently even though he isn’t even remorseful at all. Everyone is better off without him. Look at the mess he has made of the United States. Perhaps Europe would be a better place for him.

Or maybe they’ll just dissolve the force, and turn it over to the St. Louis County police, because they did such a bang up job after the verdict./s

[greeneyes]

Just to clarify, St. Louis County Police Chief Belmar was in charge, and the St. Louis County Police were the ones tasked with protection of this Community.

The Ferguson police were too militarized and violent in August, and LSM criticized them - so they were replaced. Chief Belmar told his officers to just treat it like any other large crowed event and just let them go.

Of course.... he has no choice

He will have to move to dental floss tycoon country

These occupy loons might try to give him a Somoza Retirement

He better watch his back

[Biggirl]

Head to TX, where those in the law and order employment field is a LOT more respected.

[Candor7]

Eric Holder and so called president Obama are responsible for signalling that its legitimate for our nation to have black lynch mobs.

Oh how some would love to use Wilson as bait and cashier the whole lot of anarchist assassins who would show up.That would simply be taking out the black power nationalist trash
which now plagues what used to be a fee nation.

[Daffynition]

Even if his head was on a pike.....*they* still wouldn’t be satisfied. ;(

[Red in Blue PA]

Federal pressure is going to make changing the racial make-up of that PD mandatory.

Now THAT will surely stop the looting/s

The way it is PRESENTED in the media, maybe, but read the comments on those web articles that are not closed. Far as I can tell, 95% of the comments are in his favor.

Everyone I talk to, nobody has justified the rioting and everyone is appalled by it. So not sure what you mean by your comments, unless you are basing them on media coverage alone, but then, who believes the media these days?

[redgolum]

It was the only choice he had.

Honestly, this happens in most cases like this. He will either show up in a small town somewhere with a new name, or leave law enforcement for good.
