Darren Wilson may have resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, but a group of attorneys wants the controversial officer stripped of his right to carry a badge anywhere in Missouri.

In a nine-page petition, the National Bar Association — the country’s oldest and largest group of African American attorneys and judges — asks the Missouri Department of Public Safety to revoke Wilson’s law enforcement license.

Last month, a St. Louis grand jury declined to indict Wilson, who is white, for the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown. A federal civil rights investigation continues, but the likelihood of charges being brought is slim, since Wilson has testified he was in fear for his life at the time of the shooting.

Hmmm - and what do these "attorneys" claim constitutes that such punishment is legal? He wasn't formally charged, much less convicted of any wrongdoing...

Perhaps these Black "jurists" should have their own licenses revoked - they obviously have no concept of the legal system's "quirks".

I “demand” that these so-called attorneys prove that there was a reason aside from affirmative-action as to why they received their degrees.
