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....

Lawyers and judges can’t accept a Grand Jury verdict that he did NOT commit a “criminal act?” Maybe instead of revoking Wilson’s peace officer license, some bar memberships might be revoked.

ROTFLMAO, they are using Darren Wilson as a scapegoat. Since they can’t lynch him they are now looking to ruin his life.

“Last month” just means that it happened in November, not necessarily that it was filed before the GJ report was released. However, I’m sure you’re right that they had this ready to go in case there was no indictment. Turns out that the president of the NBA is a black woman who lives and works in St. Louis.

These black lawyers are also officers of the Court.

As such, justice is supposed to be blind.

Instead, they are blinded by their racism and obvious lack of judgment based on fact, not racist emotion.

They should be sanctioned.

Maybe we should all write the Law Licensing Board in Missouri and ask that all lawyers who come against an innocent citizen, as proven by the Grand Jury, when doing his duty should have their law licenses revoked!
