Darren Wilson Has Resigned

If you read the opening post of this thread, you will know by now that Wilson was no angel before he came to Ferguson. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do so.

Officials say Wilson kept a clean record without any disciplinary action.

Robert Orr, the former Jennings police chief who retired in 2010, said of Wilson: “He was a good officer with us. There was no disciplinary action.”

Wilson won a commendation this year after he subdued a man who was found to be involved in a drug transaction, and he was honored in a ceremony in the Town Council chambers.

A family friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of threats, said Wilson sought out a career in law enforcement as a way to create a solid foundation in his life that he’d been missing.

“He had a rough upbringing and just wanted to help people,” the friend said. In Wilson’s childhood, “there was just no structure.”

Autopsies showed Brown was shot six times.

Experts on police shootings say the investigation, including the grand jury deliberations, will focus on whether Wilson had a reasonable perception of being threatened with bodily harm. The experts say it does not matter how many bullets Wilson fired. Police are trained to shoot at the center of mass and stop the threat.

“If it’s an imminent threat of serious bodily harm, yeah, you become the judge, jury and executioner,” said Alpert, the University of South Carolina criminologist.

While I am often ashamed of my white heritage, I find Charles Barkley's take on Ferguson as food for thought.

Is his mailing address available? Hawkeye will want to send him a thank you card.

Did you see the outcry over the new Star Wars trailer? The storm trooper shown with his helmet off is black. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/02/black-stormtrooper-star-wars_n_6257960.html
(I don't know that this belongs here but I didn't want to start a new thread for it.)

The idiot says in spite of years of me talking about our broken justice system and the abuse of the citizens at the hands of the state.

I think you've made it patently obvious your primary concern is with the abuse of white citizens.

I have said this before but this magic trick where we can deploy words to make brains spontaneously combust is really cool. The people who have these brains remind me a lot of the primitives who think that photos steal their soul, or those who are sure that music is the tool of the devil.
