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.

I suspect the Feds have a whole team out there hard at work finding ways to try to ruin Wilson’s life.

he is going to come out of this fine. He should get a decent attorney. He will be the next “Joe the Plumber.” He should soak it for every nickel during these 15 minutes.

Then he will skulk away and never be able to get work as a cop again.

Maybe I am the only one that thinks this. But why is this news for such a prestigious media source as the NYT?

Maybe I answered my own question.

Why don’t the media give his home address so the street savages can target him?
(Oh, they already have.)

“Glad he has a partner and ally in all of this.”

This word “partner” is the sneaky backdoor route to gay marriage acceptance. Why didn’t you use spouse, wife or fiancee?

We can’t let ‘partner’ take mainstream hold.

They apparently decided to take down the comments.
The only one I saw posted was some rant about police and domestic violence.

Thanks for the explanation. I must have clicked as they were taking comments down. Wish I had that luck at the lottery. ;-)
