A Quiet Wedding for Police Officer in Shooting
New York Times ^ | November 24, 2014 | JULIE BOSMAN AND CAMPBELL ROBERTSON

Posted on 11/24/2014 8:28:01 AM PST by Second Amendment First

Darren Wilson, the officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in August, has been out of public sight ever since. Yet last month, he stepped into a St. Louis County office building, gave his name and applied for a marriage license.

Several days later, Officer Wilson married Barbara Spradling, a fellow officer in the Ferguson Police Department, public records show.

The couple obtained their marriage license in Clayton, Mo., outside St. Louis, in the recorder of deeds office on the fourth floor of the Lawrence K. Roos administrative building, steps away from the courthouse where the grand jury has been meeting.

While security guards question people going in and out of the building, the deeds office itself is a blandly bureaucratic place where clerks sit in open cubicles. A clerk at the marriage license desk said on Monday that she was surprised that Officer Wilson went there, as opposed to another county or state — possibly Las Vegas, she said — where he could have filled out paperwork with a greater guarantee of privacy.

Good for him.

He has also been meeting with news anchors for his first interview.

The Slimes is very disappointed he is not dangling from a tree.

Good for him. Glad he has a partner and ally in all of this. I would NOT want to be in his shoes for love nor money.

My prayers, my hopes for both of them.

But they need to be in a different place.

The NYT is gleeful at the opportunity to paint a target on another person for the race baiters to attack.

I wish them well. I hope they have been using their time to plan an escape to somewhere they can have a decent life. I’m not sure where that is.

I'm guessing that this is the same clerk who blabbed this to the New York Slimes.

The Slimes forgot to mention Wilson's been 'has been out of public sight' because the mob wants to kill him... Guess the Times likes lawless mobs if they're the right color... not that that's racist or anything...

Looks like the Slimes wants to poison the wedding. Doesn't matter to them about the grand jury results. Is all about sliming and being fishy fish wrap.

I am wondering if his new wife is still working for the Ferguson police. This is information that really would have been better kept secret. She’s just as much a target now, sadly. I hope she’s in hiding with him.

Darren Wilson, the officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown

Look on the bright side. It doesn't refer to him as "the officer who fatally shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown."

Public record. Took me about 30 seconds to find this out when the shooting happened.

Big Media is STILL hiding the truth about 0bama’s background.

“I’m guessing that this is the same clerk who blabbed this to the New York Slimes.”

Notice the clerk is the only person not named by name in the whole story? That can not be a coincidence.
