Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in talks to resign from police force, sources say

[...]

Wilson has told associates he would resign as a way to help ease pressure and protect his fellow officers. Wilson has expressed concern about resigning while the grand jury was hearing evidence for fear it would appear he was admitting fault.

what's the hurry?
why can he not wait, resignation in hand, to tender it immediately after the grand jury decision, either way this plays out

What hurry are you talking about?
The decision is supposed to come out tomorrow. Even if it doesn't it is best to be prepared.
And honestly. Did you think he was going to continue working the streets of Ferguson?

in no way could i see that happening

but why the rush to resign if - as was indicated - he thinks it will look inappropriate. isn't that what we would want to avoid
either way, have the resignation to tender immediately upon the grand jury's decision

And again? What rush?
There is no rush. Being prepared is one thing, rushing is a whole other.

All you are doing is talking nonsense.

Anyone can make a mistake.

It takes a real man to admit his mistake, face up to it, and try to make it right.
 
I don't know that the officer made a mistake and will wait for the grand jury's decision.

In the meantime, no matter what that decision is, Wilson's career, at least in Ferguson, has been ruined, and his family isn't safe. And his family's not being safe is appalling.
 
It is hard to blame Wilson at this point. If he is charged, it will be a lengthy and costly trial based more on perception of his character than the physical evidence (that will be true both locally or if the Federal level steps in on civil rights charges.) If he is charged and found innocent odds are more riots and so forth. If he is not charged, he and his family will be a walking target for the rest of their lives. Because of the notoriety alone it will be difficult for Wilson to stay at Ferguson as a police officer and function as such.

The decision is coming tomorrow as in today (Friday) or Saturday?

I'm not sure this has anything to do with that. I suspect this comes down to safety for his family and being able to function as a Police Officer in Ferguson, neither of which seems even plausible at this point. There is too much interest in seeing him and his family harmed, which is horrible.
 
His cop career is over, best to start looking at something else asap.
 
Who ever believed that cop would EVER get his job back? No way would he ever be able to go back.

He is like OJ or Zimmerman. A social pariah.

He is not admitting any mistake.
If anything he is acknowledging that those protesting can't accept the truth.

1. Nice catch. I didn't realize the time that I had posted. That would have meant today.
2. That was also my bad. Sorry all. My apologies.

The grand jury hearing evidence on the Michael Brown shooting is preparing to meet Friday for what might be its final session, and a decision on whether to charge Officer Darren Wilson could come the same day, law enforcement officials briefed on the plans said.

The police will still be given 48 hours to prepare prior to a public release even if a decision is reached today.

Precisely. This is a guy whose life has been effectively wrecked because it was in the self-interest of racial agitators to do so.

Yup. Why are people offering bounties on fellow citizens not guilty of incitement???

My friend, politically there is no interest in Wilson's safety (or his family's) even if he is found guilty of a crime. The race baiting political cross hairs have been pointed at him and his family, and it speaks volumes as to why racial matters are going no where in this nation. Media supported. Wilson's life is already derailed, and his career irretrievably broken even if the Grand Jury returns no charges. I doubt anyone will ever be charged with "incitement" or threatening his family, and that is truly sad but politically supported.

Does anyone think that guy will be working the streets in Ferguson again? I find that hard to believe.

He hasn't admitted any mistake.

And I already pointed out in post three; "Did you think he was going to continue working the streets of Ferguson?"

Is he on the job now? Is he patrolling the streets of Ferguson? He will never be able to go back to patrolling the streets. He won't even be able to stay in Missouri, let alone be on the FPD.

Irrelevant, as he had not lost his job.

Get his job back means return to his regular duties. Just because he has a job...doesn't mean crap. He is not doing what he did before he shot that kid. And he never will.

Not for the Ferguson police department... not for any police department. Maybe he can get a job protecting Cliven Bundy's cattle.

Not in the real world.
Return to duty is what he would have done.
Getting a job back means you had lost it, and he hadn't lost it.
Stop trying to deflect from being wrong.

There you go again talking about **** you do not know.
HE may very well have gainful employment as an Officer in another Jurisdiction.
Hell, he may even have job offers for such as we speak.
 
Is it not true that Grand Juries do not determine guilt or innocence. They determine if their is enough evidence to support criminal charges being filed. The prosecutor then can determine if they wish to pursue the case in court.

Either way the GJ determines, lives of two families are in shambles. One lost a son, another most likely will have to find employment elsewhere.

It should also be pointed out racial agitators in Fergurson are not the only ones known to incite violence and make threats.

There are many BLM and Department of the Interior officers who have been subjected to a huge variety of threats and have had a variety of right wing anarchists incite violence against them. On occasion the threats and the incitement are done with the tacit support of local sherrifs.

This does not mean that I support every application of the "endangered" species act etc. or every EPA regulation, it just means that many of those riding to the "rescue" of Cliven Bundy and the black speratists rallying to "avenge" Brown have alot in common and have the same level of intelligence.

There is not much fundamental difference betwen Sharpton and the militia that was at the Bundy ranch- just a different socio economic spin.
