Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson Resigns, Hopes His "Resignation Will Allow The Community To Heal"
Days after Ferguson was torched by angry rioters following a grand jury verdict not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown, the policeman's lawyer announced moments ago that he has resigned from the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department.
As ABC reports, Wilson has been on administrative leave since the shooting. One of his attorneys, Neil Bruntrager, said the resignation is effective immediately.
Though Wilson was cleared of criminal charges by the grand jury, the Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation into the shooting as well as a separate probe of police department practices. Wilson, who has been in seclusion since the fatal shooting, said this week in an interview with "Good Morning America" anchor George Stephanolpoulos that he had gotten married since the Aug.9 shooting and that he and his new wife are expecting a baby.
Wilson's resignation is unexpected because in that interview he announced that wanted to spend his career with the police force, and hoped to one day be promoted to sergeant. "I wanted to stay on the road for 30 years and then retire as sergeant and have a retirement," Wilson said. "That's all that I wanted."
But he said that after what happened, he was not sure he could return to the Ferguson Police Department. He was a member of the department for six years. "I'm not sure it's possible. I mean, you think they would accept me? You think it'd be safe for me?" Wilson asked.
He said his notoriety could also put his fellow officers in jeopardy, and asked: "Can I put them in that situation?"
Though in the interview he said he had not made a final decision on returning to the force, he offered some thoughts on what else he might want to do.
"I would love to teach people. I would love to give more insight on … into the use of force and anything I can," he said. "Anything that I can get out of this career I've had so far and of the incident, I would love to give to someone else."n is unexpected
Wilson's full resignation letter is below:
"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process."

"I would love to teach people. I would love to give more insight on … into the use of EXCESSIVE force and anything I can,"
fixed
in any way cops are burden to the tax payers.
Well considering he got $500k from his 1st interview and people 'donated' in excess of $500k to his 'defense' fund, pretty sure this litlle piggy will be just fine.
Admission of guilt.
now's there's a portrait of the bottom of the gene pool.
Yet another disgusting case of personal destruction by political correctness. PC will destroy this nation.
wow KKK members already upvoted limp comment.
Yes, law enforcement = bad. I should be able to kill, steal, and destroy without consequence. As long as I continue to be the strongest, I win.
It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal.
Go jump off a bridge, you son of a bitch.
of course, few of the ZHers read the grand jury testimony for themselves. just like the rest the sheep they critisize, these ZHers rely on personal bias and propoganda from their pre-selected news feeds.
you can tell by who did NOT post here...which ZHers try or actually do think for themselves
It never fails to amaze me how people can be so short-sighted. This "unarmed teenager" was less than 3 seconds away from becoming armed with the cop's gun. To call him unarmed, when he was clearly enroute to becoming armed is disingenuous. Never mind that his size alone made the disparity of force significant to warrant deadly force.
Apolgoists galore.
3 seconds?
100ft away and you need to put 12 shots into him?
would have been better getting into your SUV and run him over, probably had a better chane of living than dumping 12 shots into him hoping he would die.
most of the thinking and reasoning posters vanished from ZH years ago
thats why zh has lost priority in my internet time
ive had 2 screen names banned by speaking the truth
PC HAS destroyed this nation.
FIFY
Personal destruction ? Compared to the other guy he seams to be doing just peachy.
@publicus: fuck off. People like you are the reason cops go bad. What a thankless job, with idiots with agendas tormenting the good ones along with the bad. There are MUCH better examples of bad cops out there, so go find em you schlepping
Taxpayers can eliminate their local police force anytime they want. They can fire them. They're the ones that hired them.
That is exactly what the one world government people want. Nothing between you and them.
Anti-Local Police = Pro Really Big Government
How in the Fuck do you figure that one? Are you still hungover on Wild Turkey fromThurs.? Or did you forget </sarc>?
Well, who do you think hires them?
Who pays them?
You do.
No dipshit, a law enforcement bureaucracy hires them. If you think John Q. Public has any real influence on said bureaucracy, I recommend you speak to the parents of Kelly Thomas. When a mentally ill man is brutally beaten to death by 5 officers, on camera, and none suffer consequences that pretty much forever slams the door on police being accountable to the public. Despite their many failings the black community has clearly understood this for the better part of a century. Unfortunately people of all ethnic backgrounds are manipulated into hatred of one another by TPTB. The racist fucktards here who claim to believe in "liberty" but celebrate the use of lethal force against an unarmed young man with no criminal record need to die in a fire. And no matter how many douchebag activists latch on to this tragedy, it is STILL a tragedy.
Liberty must come from a smaller city or town, like i do. we have exactly what he says- the ability to hire and fire law enforcement thru our smaller town ways. of course, in Some smaller towns, the fact that they have that employment power might accentuate the problem. but Still i prefer it to not even knowing any of the people on your police force. and the risk of cronyism is less now that communication and information flow is much easier than a couple decades ago. you can keep your big city system
And who hires the law enforcement bureaucracy?
You and your neighbors.
It's our responsibility. There's no getting away from that.
You are quite correct. The real struggle will be between those who want government power increasingly centralized versus those who think it should be decentralized. Those who just say "no government" should be on the side of decentralization until we get there, but if they were really thinking things through they would not have a "no government" position anyway.
Yes, government is just how people agree to live together. The less people use force on others the better for everyone.
Yes, a vote for no government is a delusional thirst for a power vacuum, and we all know nature abhors a vacuum. Therefore, what these narcissistic dumbells who downvoted your comment about local governent are really voting for is a bigger, more centralized government. They are "useful idiots" and are so ignorant, they are proud of it.
Explain to me how elimination of a violent, opressive - and very expensive - layer of the state is anything other than good.
I think what you're not understanding here is that if you like having an armend security force, you can have it! You can always hired a security company to patrol your home or your neighborhood. However in that situation, they are your employees, and if they start misbehaving, you can simply fire them. It's that simple. With the municipal Kop Force, you can't get rid of them. That's the problem.
Get it?
Private security forces can go bad just like local police can.
It always comes back to We the People taking care of ourselves. People decide how they are going to live together. Get along, or push and shove.
We've become so accustomed to being pushed and shoved that we've forgotten that we can talk and trade ideas.
No you're still not getting it. I'll clarify. Let's say I hire my own private security company. They patrol my property. They keep out robbers and so on. They are misbehaving, so I fire them and hire a different outfit. Do you see? When you have a government security force, you can't fire them, It's. That. Simple.
Now do you understand?
Liberty2012
Are you out of your fuckin mind?
Go ahead and try to get a cop fired. Give it a try.
Then, while you're at it, try to get the whole fuckin' force fired. LOL. You idiot, you've misunderstood something very, very fundamental here. The state isn't interested in being flanked. There are interested in force. They exist by force. You can't just "fire them." That's the fucking problem.
LOL
You and I can't. Our community can. Taxpayers are the ones who can stop paying them because they are the ones paying them now. People talking to their neighbors and deciding how their city is going to do things is what is missing. We can get that back.
No, they can't. Try it and see. Irwin Schiff is in a cage right now because he tried that. If you refuse to pay their extortion they will kill you. Is this shit sinking in yet?
I hope he got a fat settlement and those savages will pay increased property taxes/rents to pay for it.
Cop pension + 250,000 a year and relocation expenses to move to NYC to be a Fox News Contrubutor.
Cop disability pension, 75% tax free.
Fuk da EBT FSA crowd, the MSM pravda and da gummint as well.... fuk dem once, fuk dem twice, fuk dem threeee times.
Darren Wilson is a millionaire now. ABC paid Darren Wilson six-figure fee for Interview. http://www.alternet.org/abc-reportedly-paid-darren-wilson-six-figures-in.... Hundreds of thousands of dollars were collected for his benefit.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/09/02/whats-going-on-with-the-fundraising-campaigns-for-ferguson-police-officer-darren-wilson/
Looks like a book deal and a movie deal is brewing: How To Become a Millionaire in the USA? Kill a black child.
Here's another way:
Get assaulted by a 300 lb black adult (who just robbed a convenience store) who then attacks you in your squad car and tries to grab your gun then bum rushes you as you try to enforce the law.
Fearing for your life, you justifiably shoot the attacking thug to death.
The neighborhood, hyped up by outside agitators including your own federal government, goes nuts and literally burns themselves out of what little jobs are available.
As a token of responsibility, you resign your position.
yeah, i saw that episode of south park where they shot that bear, too.
"he's headed straight for us!"
when the cops cant get their story straight and there's twenty different witness stories....yeah, that's not worth investigating, in fact, let's let the defense use up all this grand jury time.
do you even understand the workings or purpose of a grand jury? this was only to determine if there was even a *potential* for a jury case, and this got treated like a jury case. the net effect was the system telling us "there's no possible way he's guilty, this is not work looking in to."
By measuring his skull using on-line downloadable "Phrenology Measurments"..... I have concluded that
Darren Wilson is an idiot.
Doesn't he know of all the civil rights lawsuits YET TO BE FILED against him.....now he has no legal protection.
This moron is going down!
Signed,
thetruthhurts, OLDOPM (on-line Dr. of Phrenology Measurments)
An action of self-preservation. Next up, he'll move out of the area.
I think the only place he can move and be safe is an episode of the Jetsons.
No brothers in the future apparently. (Insert your own racist joke here)
Why are there no (insert race here) people on Star Trek?
Because they aren't working in the future either.
Traditional seasonal bond trader joke
Know why blacks have such big penises?
They don't get Christmas presents
if you are going to have a racist joke, at least have it be funny, or maybe close to making any sense whatsoever.

I mean really, your joke makes no sense at all. Pretty sure that star trek has many races of people on every single version of it.
Being scottish or russian isnt a race.
i always heard that joke as star wars, theres only lando and hes some kind of petty criminal.
That would be a different joke then wouldn't it?
Do many whites still live in Ferguson? Odds are the only ones left are those too poor or too stupid to join the white flight.
When a place is 75% black and has burnt down the retailers then who is left to pay the taxes for the services?
When does he apply for disability?
Ummmmm, I'm pretty sure that was already in place BEFORE we did "right by the community and the kids", etc
The only thing crazier I've witnessed in a Government then the employees union, is the government employees police unions!!
Darren Wilson would do well to move at least a thousand miles away from Ferguson. And now that he is married, he should buy some life insurance just in case. Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska would be his best bets
Cops are tools of repression.
Cops wouldn't be necessary if Mike Browns didn't exist.
Keep your loved ones close, so you don't rely on the cops.
Cops don't fight crime, they repress, harass, extort, eat donuts, and show up afterwards to fill out paperwork. That's why the 2nd Amendment.
Great generalization.
There are a lot of good cops who would sacrifice themselves for you.
It's a thankless job. Best to know the cop before you judge the cop.
A good Sheriff will defend your constitutional rights to the death.
Good cops may exist, but I have not met any of those good cops. People keep saying they exist, but what I see is bad cops and other not as bad cops standing by doing nothing about the really bad cops. They tailgate my car, set up speed traps, extort money, act as enforcement arm for the banksters, but I don't see them taking too many risks anymore. Maybe they used to fight real crime, but more and more all they do is seize money and property from hard working citizens and fill out paperwork after the crime is over and nothing can be done, never solving it.
What I do know is this: If good cops do exist, they do not do enough good to make up for the bad the bad cops do and so I would fare better defending myself. Collectively, they have become bankster thugs.
I'm glad I don't live wherever you live.

Oh, you live on Mars too?
You live on planet Spaceball, not Mars.
Your lack of oxygen there accounts for your post toward me.

Nope, player/coach of the Charlestown Chiefs.

Yes Xq, hallo spaceboy. ;p
Reggie, you do live where he/she lives, you just haven't had the privilege of first-hand experience. In due time son, in due time you'll see.
Pffff, if only you knew how many run ins I have had with the law....son
Best to meet them before making a decision. It's easy to generalize and resent cops from the safety of mom's basement.
"Anarchy! (As long as it doesn't interfere with my Call of Duty time)"
Hockey player, huh? I wasn't meaning to insult you, asswipe. How many teef you got left?
Ya' have to hang out longer than 12 weeks in order to learn what's up.
If you make it past a year and still reckon I'm in Mom's basement (dead since '73- unpossible) then I'll really tear you a new one. Guaranteed.
Cops and firemfighters are the safest jobs in America -you are far m ore likley to die in retail, manufacturing, fishing, agricultural -than you are to die as a cop. Gov stats prove this.
My son and brother-in-law were both cops in SoCal. They both left in disgust, because of hte PC way they were required to kiss the asses of nagger and wetback criminals in the local precincts. Most of the time they were praying that the perp they were chasing was white.
Not to argue about there being some little Hitlers out there, (and I have been stopped by some of them for revenue generation purposes) but I wouldn't want the job.
"...I wouldn't want the job."
Where else is a person with low intelligence and a poor education going to make $100,000 a year with full benefits and a great pension. If you're a sadistic psychopath - bonus!
Are there any Sheriffs who refute the 20-odd-thousand un-Constitutional firearms restrictions?
Thought not.
Don't forget Montana. He'd be quite safe here as well.
Just got back from a week-long trip to MT. Did not see a single non-white the whole time I was there. Not a one.
I am headed that direction myself, not running away, just running towards....
Having at a distance seen the lights of Baltimore for most of my life...pretty sure my move will constitute 'running away'.
Doesn't matter, Billy. The disease of debt money will eventually catch up to you.
Well, after the invectives I've thrown at this man for his gross lapse in judgement, I'll say this for him: His behaviour is far better than what I would expect from the average politician in similar circumstances. Resignation was the right thing to do.
He shot Brown 6 times, I wonder when they find his body in a ditch how many times he'll be shot.
he fired 12 shots, maybe only 6 hit
He likely did shoot him 6 times as he likely told the truth of what happened. The high kid came at him, even when shot a few times. It happens. Suicide mission. The only way around these events to deploy some sort of non lethal method. Not sure why they don't pratice that. The kid reached in the cruiser, that is NOT recommended.
Maybe true.
Haven't followed this case cause frankly I'm burning out.
Quick question though from cops on the 'Hedge - what week did you learn its a capital idea to put a suspect in the front seat with you, where your movements are constricted and your firearm is about 11 inches from him?
I've never been to cop school, as it turns out I didn't torture enough pets and farm animals to death as a yute, but ... is this standard procedure?
Oho!
Negatives? Do explain? Did the cop NOT allow the suspect in the front seat with him? As I said, I haven't followed this shooting, but I believed that was true.
Or are you ignorant enough to deny the torture of powerless animals is in fact an indicator of future psychopathy?
lol
I dunno either RafterMan with a full metal jacket, but do you remember the initial reports that the cop's eye socket was dislocated? I can easily call bullshit on that.
I never heard that Michael Brown was allowed in the the front seat of the cop car- did you make that shit up on your own or do have a source of said info?
Brown was more than likely a punk/thug, and his momma will deny that to her grave. But, the more-or-less indiscriminate use of lethal force by LEO's has gotten out of hand.
Nowadays, they'll kill you for running a stop sign.
No that's where I read the first round went off, in car, as suspect and cop struggled over gun, in front seat. This was early in the killing - haven't followed the case.
Edit:
Looked it up finally. Apparently, he was never in the car.
Via Wiki:
"Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown, was walking with him in the street. Johnson said that Wilson pulled up beside them and said, "Get the fuck on the sidewalk."[76][77][78][79] The young men replied that they were "not but a minute away from [their] destination, and [they] would shortly be out of the street".[79] Wilson drove forward without saying anything further, only to abruptly back up, positioning his vehicle crosswise in their path, almost hitting the two men. "We were so close, almost inches away, that when he tried to open his door aggressively, the door ricocheted both off me and Big Mike's body and closed back on the officer."[37]
Wilson, still in his vehicle, grabbed Brown around his neck through the open window.[45] Brown tried to pull away, but Wilson continued to pull Brown toward him "like tug of war".[80] Brown "did not reach for the officer's weapon at all", and was attempting to get free of Wilson rather than attack him or take his weapon from him.[77][81][82][83][84] Wilson drew his weapon and said, "I'll shoot you" or "I'm going to shoot", and almost instantaneously fired his weapon, hitting Brown.
Following the initial gunshot, Brown was able to free himself, at which point the two fled. Wilson exited the vehicle, after which he fired several rounds at the fleeing Brown, hitting him once in the back.[37][79] Brown turned around with his hands raised and said, "I don't have a gun. Stop shooting!" Wilson then shot Brown several more times, killing him.[37][60] Johnson's attorney stated that Wilson did not attempt to resuscitate Brown, did not call for medical help, and "he didn't call it in that someone had been shot."[85] Johnson told local TV stations shortly after the shooting that Brown had been surrendering[86] when Wilson opened fire without cause or warning."
I was very wrong to question the officer's tactics or training. Apologies.
Only God knows (and this ain't any God that organized religion recognizes) knows what really happened. But, I need you to hear this-
NEVER apologize to me. I am merely a human. Deeply flawed, and only trying to decipher what little I truly know.
Your last sentence puzzles me though. You have every reason to question Wilson's tactics or training, don't you?
8 .40 caliber bullets hit Brown, only the shot to the head stopped the attack.
.40 cal is a bad penetrator and Brown was so big body shots didn't hit anything incapacitating. Mozambique drill: two quick to the center and one aimed shot to the head.
I hear they've renamed the ol' Mozambique.
Sounds bad in the courtroom, like mocking an entire continent or something.
"Failure Drill" now?
Sharpton Drill?
You got balls, I'll give ya' that. Ya' come on this anti-banker site with a name like goldstein and don't think we'll notice?
Fuck off. We don't need you.
I guess you're not a fan of dystopian literature.
Let me lay it out for you in small words so you may understand:
Emmanuel Goldstein was the nemesis to Big Brother in Orwell's 1984.
Now go back to your basement, think about what I told you, suck your thumb and weep to the the moaning coming from upstairs while I have my way with your jizz-chugging mom's ragged, pungent, cavernous meatholes,
you jew-hating bitch.
Don't have a gripe with Jews in general, just them who call themselves Jews, but are not (while they hide behind behind the cloak of Israel which the idiot neo-christians applaud in their ultimate idiocy).
The leadership of Israel is not Jewish, but Zionist. They are also in control of the US MIC. However, the pseudo-jews are themselves controlled by the Vatican via the Crown Corporation of London.
The cops are just the first line of defence the Crown uses to control you, and this is why shit-for-brains (marionette Obama) has just announced a new initiative to better arm and train them.
As I just explained to one of your idiot buddies, the scenario you present above is unpossible. But you go right ahead with your bad self.
Dumbass.
Oh yeah, whereas Huxley wrote of his nightmares, your boy Orwell (born Eric Arthur Blair) was writing an instruction manual for future Zio's like yourself, who are deluded past the point of no return. Alas, Eric did not live to see his new world come to fruition.
So yeah, i am a fan dystopian literature, and,
Fuck off.
It took six hits before Brown got the message.
Hey fucktard: how many times would YOU have shot a thug pulling the same shit as Brown? Or didn't you see the video of him manhandling the store owner when he was stealing those cigars?
Oh, wait, so it's different when YOUR life is in danger, right?
If the incident resulted in a dead white cop, there would have been NO story outside of St Louis area.
The store owner had a gun, he chose not to use it.
the store owner also said that wasnt brown who robbed him, nor was he (owner) the one who called police
So, it wasn't Brown and his friend in the video? And they weren't carrying the cigars they had stolen? It was just their body doubles who also happened to be wearing the same clothes, right? Nutt'in more than an incredible conicidence. [/s]
Your post is the only place I've seen anyone claim it wasn't Brown. Even Brown's parents don't deny it was him.
I'm thinking the Store owner is lying at this point because he wants to keep breathing.
The community will not heal. Furgeson will turn into a ghost town. Businesses will close. People will move out and the place will filled abandoned buildings. Basically half of Baltimore. People vote with their feet.
"The community will not heal. Furgeson will turn into a ghost town. Businesses will close. People will move out and the place will filled with CHARRED RUINS. Basically half of Baltimore. People vote with their feet."
Fixed it for you
I'm TerminalDebt and I have nothing original or insightful to add to this thread, so I just copy and paste other posters' text, changing one or two words, and add the words "Fixed it for you." to the bottom.
Fixed it for you.
Dupe.
Fixed it for me.
Fixed it for you.
/sarc
First, you don't understand the demo's of the st louis metro area. For the most part, people who CAN move out, already have 20 years ago. Ferguson is a shithole and all of you armchair judges and executioners would lock your doors if you accidentally ended up driving through there. I don't understand why you commenters are all anti-wilson, have you never had any run ins with 18 year old "invincible" males?
I still want to know why the dude that incited the riot, on video, plain to see, won't be arrested for inciting a riot. I also want to know why they don't release gentle giant MB's juvy record, which, after death becomes public. I would suspect we'd see things in his juvy record that paints angel mike negatively. Also, why was grandma raising little mikey? Why does Mike's mom have such a nice list of charges on missouri case net? Why was mikey's mom allowed to get passports fast tracked for their trip to Geneva? When is mikey's mom going to get charged for assaulting mikey's grandma for selling mikey merchandise? Why are all of these communist groups and anarchists infiltrating St. Louis? I watch these streamers going from place to place in St. Louis county and they don't know where they are going.
I'm not anti-Wilson. I just wanted the guy to make his self-defense case in court. Not in a grand jury. He may be right. But no one else gets that treatment from a prosecutor. He practically made the case for the cop. And I'm not the only one saying this. The bar association said the same. Hell, a defense attorney on tv was snickering when an anchor asked him if he expected this to be the norm going forward. It was a joke.
And the show of force was to intimidate people. It was theatre. I wouldn't be surprised if some fires and violence were started by agent provocateurs.
But in the end, why bother rebuilding? Just collect the insurance and move on. It's not like any of this is positive for the future. Getting your business burned down is a blessing. Cash the bitch out and leave.
Oh you must mean the same prosecutor that was selling Darrin Wilson Tee-Shirts? No conflict of intrest there.
And? Whats your fucking point? Prove me wrong, Im wrong all the time. Prove that the prosecuting attorney for this case wasnt selling Darrin Wislon Tee-Shirts
You've probably been wearing Depends longer than my Granny too but what kind of idiot thinks this has anything to do with the tea in China? I've been a member 2 weeks, but have been reading for 3 years longer than you have been a member. Do you actually have a valid opinion or are you just bragging about registering on a website? We're not impressed.
There is NO WAY IN HELL they'd ever let this get to a trial. Because it'd be a re-run (heh no rog) of the Travyon Martin case. You get his buddy on the stand and the court of public opinion would have come to an even worse conclusion. Think about that for a while.
if you accidentally ended up driving through there.
Wasn't that witness 40 who accidentally ended up driving through there and at the exact moment saw the whole thing and then wrote it down in their diary, but to paraphrase 'they would keep their mouth shut because no one would believe them anyway'
I would never re-open my business so close to such a wild pack of criminals. A grand jury didnt find enough evidence to bring charges. If the officer wants to do some good, he should advocate for a change to the thugcop rules of engagement. His resignation solves NOTHING.
Oh, you're from around here too? Yeah, the Baltimoreans did it to themselves. I feel bad for the older crowd, most of them are nice. Most under 45 are trash though, (and that crop along with the newest generation is not improving with age).
"No chance he will go to the dark side!"
Congressman Wilson, I prsume?
Who raised that "meat ball"? I'd love to meet his parents.
When a persons eyes are that close together, like that of Officer Trigger Happy, its usually a sign of genetic damage at birth and a very low IQ. Usually this is caused by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Im willing to bet his mother was a severe alcoholic and officer fancy pants here has an IQ of no higher than 85.
When Im out with friends we have a game we like to play. Its called FAS Face. We get one point for pointing out the first FAS Face. We get 5 points if the FASF is a cop. Its a good drinking game too.
lol. That overzealous mongoloid looks like it's one "kickstand"short of training wheels.
I realize judging a book by it's cover isn't "fair play", but that walking bag of ignorance, should be patrolling "We Be Toys And Shit", on the MOON!
Other way...eyes wide apart = FAS. Eyes close together common in Euro genes.
Sam Cassell seems like a nice guy & was a good NBA player. Unfortunately, his face is a classic example of FAS. Small eyes set wide apart & close to the surface. Nose flat with brow ridge, etc.

Well god damn it! That changes a few of my scores then. Ill need to get back with the drinking buddies about this. This is a major development.

Dunooo...looks like it could be a judgment call....is there an app for it? There is some serious money laid down in FAS Face compititions.
What is this guy with the hanging shoulders doing in the police force??
I still don't understand why are they shoot more then 1 time.
Have you ever fired a gun?
Have you ever experienced a dynamic crisis situation where your response determined whether or not you lived or died?
Yeah I have and this Gomer Pyle lookin' mofo wouldn't have lasted 10 sec in any unit I served in during my time being an Army of One.
De Opresso Liber
I've always wondered. Army of One what?
I am just poking fun at what the US Army has become since my time in service, Gulf War Vet.
And to be fair it was not that great when I was in, but now it is a total Shitshow.
I had already put in my paperwork a couple months before dudes were allowed to make out in public.
Yep, time to roll on out. Didn't need to risk a third deployment for the benefit of bankers anyway (took those experiences to wake me up though).
Because handgun rounds suck! That's why. As big as Mike Brown was, you would need like .454 Casull rounds or preferably 7.62 NATO rifle rounds out of a rifle to take that big dude down.
Most people who make silly statements like yours have never shot a "real" gun in their entire lives, and have never taken any type of firearms training whatsoever.
Take some classes and you'll learn real fucking quick why one-shot stops don't work, and aiming for legs and arms with a handgun under time contstraints (we are taking 1.5 seconds with a buzzer) doesn't work. The whole point is to STOP the adversary and one .40 caliber round ain't going to cut it.
Everyone has a plan until you shoot them in the face.
Most soldiers in combat don't fire their weapons. They are too scared to aggress against and/or attempt to kill another human.
More and more, the institutions employing the gun and badge thugs need psychopaths to aggress against people to rob and/or cage them. Therefore, more and more they are employing people looking for a position where they CAN hunt and kill people.
I.e. a "good" cop would resist robbing and indiscriminately caging people, and would be less "productive." Psychopaths are more "productive," if their most egregious acts can be controlled.
They fire multiple times because they LIKE to kill and are DETERMINED to kill.
That is my armchair analysis of the violence of the gun and badge thugs.

Good review of the topic. Thanks for posting.
Interesting question of how many soldiers fire their guns. From the article you link, what is now considered shoddy data from WWII suggested most didn't, but then it goes on to new conclusions arising from newer studies from Vietnam:
When asked what portion of their fellow soldiers fired during any given engagement, the veterans estimated that about 84 percent of a unit's men armed with individual weapons (rifles, pistols, grenade launchers, shotguns) and approximately 90 percent of those manning crew-served weapons (generally the M-60 machine gun) did so. From these responses it seems that Americans in Vietnam had little hesitation to engage their enemy.
Of that 16% of soldiers who didn't fire during "any given" engagement, which seemed to be a term used for consistently doing so, most had fired at times.
I would guess that in the decades since, the willingness/readyness to kill has not diminished, with most of our boys now spending their childhoods endlessly rehearsing via video games in a culture where violence is far more glorified than it used to be.
But given that we're talking about conduct in war zones, I am reluctant to see it as an indictment of the soldier per se. Gotta agree that it will be the psychopaths who will stick with it as a career and embrace those professional cultures where it is celebrated . . . as it most certainly is among cops and prison guards, as I have seen while working in their company as a psychologist.
Perfectly good testosterone becomes an ugly poison in those cultures. The honor we're trained to embody and enforce simply as men is perverted beyond recognition by those sick fucks. The irony is that they are considered "hyper-masculine," when they are the very antithesis of the core values of manhood: Self-control and honor.
The 'repudiation' of the supposedly "shoddy" data (which was sufficiently non-shoddy as to encourage militaries around the world to alter their training) is... wait for it... a survey taken 15 years after the fact.
Oh please.
The problem of getting saps to kill other saps, is as old as war.
The good thing is that fuckwits who are prepared to kill "on foreign field", suffer debilitating psychological trauma (nearly rhymes with karma); the bad thing is that they come home and jkoin police departments.
Also - re Vietnam. I am pretty certain that faliure to engage was sufficiently large a problem that Westmoreland ordered that troops be disciplined it they were found not to have fired their weapon under contact. This gave birth to 'spray and pray' the moment there was contact - people firing unaimed rounds: the same thing that normal (non-psychopathic) men have done since the invention of firearms.
They are trained to shoot until the threat is neutralized. That may be one bullet, it may be ten. There are far too many fucking idiots out there who get all of their "data" from Hollywood......

the noisier one's own mind is, the more rounds it takes
A friend in Russia was telling me how their TV stations are showing the Ferguson riots with lawless blacks rioting as a counter to the Ukraine turbulence. Implying that life in Russia is safer than life in the US. Russia's news right now is heavily politicized, Even by US standards. Fortunately, my friends family has traveled to the US and knows that those news stories are distorted.
Luckily in the UssA, MSM is apolitical. :)
I am sure life is safer in many ways in Russia. Secondly, they have been bashed all over hell on gone by the US Jew news services, why shouldn't they rub Ferguson in. I would.
The USA is ranked 1st in the world for Total Crimes.... Russia 5th.... Russia has a higher muder rate... however, US has a 10 times higher occurance of Violent Crimes than Russia...
I suppose we should have seen this resignation coming. It's the only realistic option the man had. I suspect he'll relocate to another state - and to a region less (ahem) demographically diverse.
those ears.
like a Volkswagen with the doors open
Just like your hero Obama's ears?
Nice try, but you fail again. Keep trying to box people the same way you box Happy Meals at your job, you're just making it easier for the plutocracy to control you when you refuse to use your brain for yourself.
Violated his oath? Check.
Committed an act of Article 3, Section 3 war against a citizen of the American country? Check.
Murdered someone just because he could. Check.
Still on the treason list.

Notice to all gun and badge thugs:
1) Remember your oaths. The Constitution is the "Law of the Land" and we expect YOU to follow it: "It's the law."
2) Familiarize yourself with the definition and law concerning treason in Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution. I am Witness One.
3) Principle IV of the Nuremberg principles, what the Nazis were judged by, states that "Following orders" is not a valid defense, and neither is "It's the law."
You've been warned.
We, the American people, are watching, and you and your family live amongst us..
Dont confuse them, they are easily startled ya know.
Most don't realize that Wilson gunned the kid down within 90 seconds of first interaction.
I have been tracking the brutality of the gun and badge thugs since Rodney King, so I am well informed on not only the topic, but trends as well.
One trend that is growing exponentially is how the thugs show up WANTING to kill and quickly escalate the most mundane situation into one where they have just enough leeway to kill. One sees this with the rash of killings of people that are handicapped. The thugs were called to help, but often manipulate the situation so as to be able to shoot the poor victim--"Don't call the police!"
Now some evidence:
Here a thug shoots a deaf elderly man that has just walked across the street after only 11 seconds of interaction--yelling at the victims back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt1mFQG3tJg
Last week, in Cleveland, the thugs showed up and gunned down a 12-year old after less than 2 seconds of interaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z8qNUWekWE
What many don't know about the execution of Oscar Grant is that the altercation that the thugs were called in on had ended and the suspects had LEFT the station. The thugs showed up and started assaulting and brutalizing people, and then executed one, Oscar Grant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h-IEg8c6uI
Then there is James Boyd in Albuquerque. The thug actually brags about wanting, planning, to shoot Boyd BEFORE he goes and does so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SzpZbkgjJ8
Remember, each and everyone of the thugs you see on a daily basis WANT to rob you, and kill you if they can.

Bonus: Here the thugs attack and kill a man, then play "Weekend at Bernies" with his body to cover up their crime while the wife is filming. His crime, not showing the thugs his ID fast enough for the thugs' liking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy66quF0pek
