...”Well, he was obviously not going to be patrolling Ferguson again”...

Ain’t that the truth! But he’ll do well wherever he lands if far enough away from black communities...and that’s quite possible.

Godspeed on your new life, Officer Wilson. You should write a book.
You did the correct thing and history will show you were right.

Witness relocation program?

So Holder can give out your new identity & address to his black thug buddies?!

Anywhere totally outside of Missouri works. For the sake of himself and his family, change the name completely.

Is there a fund being collected for this poor guy? I sure hope so - he’s been through enough, and there’s no end in sight.

No idea, but here is from the ST Louis Post Dispatch

Citing security fears, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, has resigned from the police department.

Wilson, 28, who on Monday was cleared by a grand jury investigating the shooting, had been a member of the city's police department for six years.

Neil Bruntrager, Wilson's attorney, said a news conference is being planned.

Wilson's resignation letter reads:

Would have been breaking news if he decided to stay on the force.

Actually, the entire Ferguson police force should resign. Throw a fence around it and let the citizens sleep in the bed they made.

Hope the Ferguson PD gave him more money to resign than they give Brown’s lawyers and parents- for nothing.

Never police again. . .you bet. . .imagine if he is involved in another shoot in future, imagine the uproar (especially if it was one of Holder’s people he shot).

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.

So would he, the only reason he was needed around was because he was a witness in the matter, and he needed to report the event to his superiors in the police department. Once he was done testifying, he was free to leave.

I don’t understand why he would do such a thing considering all the people standing up with him and all the vocal support from his superiors and peers on the police force! Also the crowds of supporters that took the time to hold up signs supporting his actions and his integrity in the face off all those calling for his head! (exteeeeeeeme sarc)

Something simple to read and pass on to those acquaintances of freepers that get all their news from MSM:

13 Facts About Ferguson the Media Will Never Tell You

According to protesters who erupted in violence after a grand jury declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., this was the case of a white policeman shooting an unarmed black teenager with his hands in the air in a community plagued by racial tension.

That’s an account promoted by many in the mainstream media as well. But here are several facts about the case that are harder to find:

1. Surveillance video showed that shortly before the confrontation, 18-year-old Brown stole cigarillos from a convenience store and shoved a clerk who tried to stop him.

2. The autopsy report showed that Brown had marijuana in his system when he died.

3. Officer Wilson, driving from the scene of a medical emergency, first encountered Brown walking in the middle of a street and told Brown and his friend to walk on the sidewalk. Brown responded with an expletive.

4. Wilson chose to confront Brown only after he saw the cigarillos in his hand and recalled the radio report of a robbery at the convenience store.

5. Wilson said when he tried to open his car door, Brown slammed it back shut, then punched Wilson in the face.

6. Fearing another punch could knock him out, Wilson drew his gun, he told the grand jury, and Brown grabbed the gun, saying “you are too much of a pussy to shoot me.”

7. An African-American witness confirmed that Brown and Wilson appeared to be “arm-wrestling” by the car.

8. Another witness saw Brown leaning through the car’s window and said “some sort of confrontation was taking place.”

9. After Wilson fired a shot that struck Brown’s hand, Brown fled and Wilson gave chase. Brown suddenly stopped. An unidentified witness told the grand jury that 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown charged at Wilson with his head down. Wilson said Brown put his hand under the waistband of his pants as he continued toward Wilson. That’s when Wilson fired.

10. A witness testified that Brown never raised his hands.

11. Gunpowder found on the wound on Brown’s hand indicated his hand was close to the gun when it fired. According to a report, the hand wound showed foreign matter “consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm.”

12. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist who reviewed the autopsy for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, said the gunpowder “supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun, if he has particulate matter in the wound.”

13. Wilson said Brown was physically uncontrollable and “for lack of a better word, crazy.” He said that during the confrontation, he was thinking: “He’s gonna kill me. How do I survive?” Legal experts say police officers typically have wide latitude to use deadly force when they feel their safety is threatened.

Exactly what I was thinking. I doubt Obama with all his race-baiting would ever wait for a second to seek to find the information on what Wilson and his wife’s new identities are.

Hopefully he could get a nice private security job from some rich family with connections. Perhaps he could hire a headhunter to help him with a special type of “security job”...

“He said he acted without receiving a severance package, although he said more talks may be held...Wilson, who reportedly was paid a six-figure sum for the ABC interview”

Well, it’s a shame the pimps will make out better than he.

This is sad, although I totally understand it. Wishing Good Luck to Officer Wilson and his family.
