Ferguson Police Officer Who Shot Michael Brown, Darren Wilson, Resigns

The police officer who killed 18 year-old Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police Department yesterday(Saturday November 28 ,2014).  Although Wilson has been on administrative leave since the Aug. 9th shooting and a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri found no probable cause to indict him for the tragedy, one of his attorneys: Neil Bruntrager announced the resignation just four months after he fatally shot Micheal Brown.

Many believe, the resignation is a good thing but not enough. “He still got away with murder!!”, said protestors in Ferguson on one of the news stations.
