Ferguson police officer who killed Michael Brown resigns
Online Edition
THE white police officer who killed black teenager Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, his attorney told CNN on Saturday.
Darren Wilson, who has been on paid administrative leave since the incident on Aug. 9, has resigned, Neil Bruntrager confirmed, adding the resignation came into immediate effect.
Wilson, 28, had been in hiding since the shooting. He broke his silence after a grand jury decided not to pursue any charges against him, telling ABC News that he did his job right.
The shooting, which led to a debate over race relations and police power, sparked protests and violence in Ferguson. The grand jury's decision three months after the incident sparked protests across the United States.
On Friday night, 15 protesters were arrested as they blocked traffic in front of the Ferguson Police Department. On Saturday civil rights activists began a 120-mile (190 km) march to Jefferson City, the state capital of Missouri, to demand sweeping reform in the police department and denounce the grand jury's decision.
