HeadlineDec 01, 2014

Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson has resigned days after a grand jury elected not to indict him for the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said Wilson will leave the police force with no severance.

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles: “The city manager has accepted Officer Wilson’s resignation, and as of yesterday, Officer Wilson is no longer an employee with the city of Ferguson. There is no severance agreement with Officer Wilson and the city of Ferguson. The city of Ferguson will not be making a severance payment to Officer Wilson.”
