Darren Wilson, Officer In Ferguson Shooting, Resigns From Police Dept.

Darren Wilson, the officer that a grand jury decided not to indict in the fatal shooting of an unarmed African American teenager Michael Brown, has resign from the police department.

According to Wilson's lawyer Neil J. Bruntrager, officer Wilson handed in a letter of resignation. In the letter Wilson said, “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.”

People have wanted action to be taken since the incidence took place in August, wanting Wilson to either step down, or be fired.

Adolphus Pruitt, of the N.A.A.C.P.'s St. Louis chapter, said the resignation: “not only fulfills one of the demands of the protesters, but also provides for one of the steps necessary for the wholesale reconstructions of law enforcement in Ferguson.”

The news did not seem to please anybody, as protesters still gathered outside the police station, as they have for months. They still want an indictment, and they are fighting for it.

Saturday night  there were reports of gunfire outside the police station, but it is not known if they were in response to the protesting going on.
