Darren Wilson resigns

[Guest shiloh357]

 

The thing is that he has been cleared and most Americans know he didn't do anything wrong.   So I think he will find a job pretty easily.  It's just small number of radicals who think he did anything wrong. 

 

There was something like that here in the phoenix area. A cop killed a woman (white cop, white woman) and he was correct in his actions but the public went nuts over it. No rioting but they demanded and forced the city to haul him up on murder charges. He was acquitted and ended up being forced out of the police force. He eventually got hired elsewhere but this "event" followed him. 

 

Yeah, this will follow him the rest of his life.  He will never get to the point where he will be an unknown, regular citizen.  The rioters are evidently planning to march from The St. Louis area to Jefferson City, MO (state capital).  I can't imagine what good that will do.

We have a retired Sheriff that actually forced the District Attorney to file charges against him for a similar shooting so he could be acquitted once and for all legally...   I'm not sure I trust our Jury system in a case like this one to do what is right, but in the long run it might have been better that he be tried and acquitted than what has happened.

By waiting to be cleared by the Grand Jury before he resigned, he was able to keep his pension and benefits. Hopefully he won't end up like the guy here in Florida who killed Trayvon Martin. He lost it, has been arrested a few times for domestic violence and firearms possession; even though he has been freed every time. All the trauma seems to have ruined his psyche.

just heard on the news... ferguson's PD has denied him any pension or benefits.

 

that just angers me.

did they give the reason why? some PDs wont give you pension or benefits unless youve served X amount of years. If he doesn't qualify because of existing rules, then no foul. In fact, if they gave him the benefits even though it was against the existing rules, that would be wrong. But if theyre denying it simply because of the riots, then yes that is wrong.

I had heard they denied him a severance package...    But denying him any pension or benefits? That just doesn't seem fair.

He was forced to resign because he did what he was paid, trained and hired to do.  The Ferguson Police Department owes him something any one of them could have been there in his place.  Where's the loyalty and gratitude for faithfully serving his community?

so after reading your posts, i thought maybe i misunderstood, so i googled.... 

 

it is severance pay he's being denied. he also won't get any other benefits, but i'm not sure what that means since once you quit, you usually lose benefits. i think it was the nytimes that said he'd only been a cop for a few years and hadn't yet started paying into a pension, so he won't ever be eligible for that either.

Well if he hasn't paid into his pension, then he can't draw on that.  Makes sense.   But that doesn't explain why they won't give him a severance, unless he turned it down.  He didn't do anything wrong and they should not penalize him in an attempt to satiate these thugs.
