Darren Wilson identified as the officer who shot Michael Brown

Nearly a week after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., police on Friday identified the officer as Darren Wilson.

Wilson is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police with no disciplinary record, Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson said at a news conference on Friday morning.

Jackson provided few other details about Wilson at the news conference and did not take any questions. He said that Wilson had been responding to a call shortly before noon on Saturday when there was a 911 call regarding a “strong-arm robbery” at a convenience store.

A description of a possible suspect was given over the radio, saying this person was walking toward the QuickTrip convenience store in Ferguson. An incident report handed out by police on Friday labeled Brown as a suspect in the convenience store robbery, which involved the theft of some Swisher Sweets cigars.

Wilson left the call he had been responding to and encountered Brown on Canfield Drive at 12:01 p.m., Jackson said.

Police also released these stills depicting a confrontation between Brown and a convenience store worker:

no, headline says Darren....

But the text says -

“Police on Friday said that David Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown last weekend, confronted Brown after the teenager was identified as the main suspect in a convenience story robbery that occurred on Saturday morning.”

Somebody needs a screen shot on WaPo editing.

And the comment section has vaporized into the ether. Now why would the WaPo do that?

His race really isn’t the issue. The issue is whether deadly force was legit, or murder. Last I heard, everything but the officer’s story was against him.

I think you may have the wrong Darren Wilson.

That picture is of Darren Wilson, SOUTH CAROLINA State Trooper.

If he left South Carolina and went to St. Louis (and I've seen no record of that), then perhaps he's Darren R. Wilson of the St. Louis Police.

If so, then he's an eight-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department, not a six-year veteran of the Ferguson Police Department.

If only the community was more sensitive. Did they provide midnight basketball? Isn’t that the LIB answer to this feral madness?

That would show up in post-mortem toxicology, right?

Or did they do the “Quick! Cremate!” routine on the body?

Saw a link on twitter that said 10 minutes. It should be fairly straight forward, since the surveillance tape SHOULD have a time stamp : /

Didn’t Al No-so-Sharpton call this “gentle giant” a baby?

Why yes he did. In the words of one ABF* in the Wednesday night riots.... “(Bleep) Al Sharpton. He ain’t never did nothing for us.”

*Angry Black Female


The race baiters knew the facts of this all , but they just thought the police didn't have any proof .

So they incited riots

My new mantra for the whole sad Brown affair is

“They knew the truth, they just thought there was no proof”

Too many eyewitnesses sympathetic to the dead guy have spoken out; the cop would have been identified as such by now if he was.

How many of those "eyewitnesses" were withing ten miles of the incident at the time?
