Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police force.
Wilson resigned yesterday November 29th, 5 days after a
grand jury decided not to indict him in the fatal shooting of
Brown. Though he has been on administrative leave since the
incident on August 9th.
ABC News obtained a copy of Wilson's letter of resignation.
See it after the cut...
The letter reads:
"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a
police officer with the City of Ferguson effective
immediately. I have been told that my continued
employment may put the residents and police officers
of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance
that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to
wait until the grand jury made their decision before I
officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to
continue in police work, but the safety of other police
officers and the community are of paramount
importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will
allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of
my supporters and fellow officers throughout this
process."
