FERGUSON, Mo. - The white police officer who killed Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, nearly four months after the confrontation that fueled protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the nation.
Darren Wilson has been on administrative leave since the Aug. 9 shooting. His resignation was announced Saturday by one of his attorneys, Neil Bruntrager. Bruntrager says the resignation is effective immediately.
A grand jury spent more than three months reviewing evidence in the case before declining in November to issue any charges against the 28-year-old Wilson. He told jurors that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and grabbed for his gun.

A no-brainer for me. He could never be anything but a target for local thugs, and in any state, unfortunately, he would still be a target for the low information race.
Promote him to in house Detective and keep him safe if he's a good cop.
No surprise but what a shame
What a shame to have to resign because of the punk a$$ thugs.
the man did everything by the book yet has to lose his career. SMH
