You say that there's a lot that WE don't know.  That doesn't mean that there's a lot that the DA doesn't know, or that the grand jury didn't know when they rendered their decision.

You have positioned yourself to stay in denial that this may have been not only an acceptable outcome, but possibly or probably the appropriate outcome

Obvious misfire.  Or, considering all the "questions" surrounding the case, maybe he did fire it. 









AND IT KILLED A BLACK BABY!!!!!!!

Wrong in a criminal sense. Not wrong in a "*******, dude, you're a ******* idiot, how did you allow that to happen, you're fired" sense.

I'm sure he's glad to trade his job for his life. He said his conscience is clean.

He seems like a smart enough guy to recover - it was his decision to resign, and probably the right decision to get off the street. Maybe book and movie deal money in the short term, consulting police departments and seminars/key note speaking in the long term?

yeahno. No one is hiring him to consult. He'll probably struggle to find work in the short term and will need to find a career unrelated to law enforcement.

Time will tell. I would bet cops will line up to hear his story, how he dealt with the media, etc. How many cops across the nation wore I am Darren Wilson bands? The St Louis police just filed a compliant with the NFL for allowing the rams players to do the hands up don't shoot gesture during a game. Not everyone thinks this guy is toxic, especially police officers that can relate.

Maybe he consults, maybe he doesn't. Not every consultant has years of experience in an industry. Wilson has experience that very few cops have.... Experience being in the national spotlight and how to handle that pressure. Some 20 year vets can't teach you that and it's something police departments around the country are concerned about - especially with how easy things go viral nowadays.

Maybe he writes a book. Stacey Koon raised over $4 million writing "Presumed Guilty: The Tragedy of the Rodney King Affair". One of the other officers that was sentenced in the King case got out of jail and went to law school. At 28, Darren Wilson will be fine. What, he lost a $60,000 a year job? He can replace that.

You're as bad as BL.  Say something dumb, then double down when called out on it.

You're making Wilson out as "super cop", who has somehow become a master of dealing with the media when in the crosshairs of controversy.

He is/was just a regular cop, doing his job.  Nothing more, nothing less.
