Douchebag Darren Wilson Quits Ferguson Police Department

Darren Wilson Quits Police Force in Ferguson, Missouri

Ferguson, Missouri

Darren Wilson, who has done more damage to race relations in one hour than the KKK could pull-off in a decade after fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in August, has quit his job with the police department in Ferguson, Missouri. His attorney, Neil Bruntrager, made the announcement on Saturday night.

Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in a telephone interview, that he resigned after the police department told him it received threats of violence if he remained an employee.

"I'm resigning of my own free will," he said. "I'm not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me."

He said resigning was "the hardest thing I've ever had to do."

The immediate resignation follows a decision by a grand jury not to indict Wilson in the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The shooting sparked worldwide protests and the Monday announcement of no indictment triggered another round of demonstrations that continued through the week and into the weekend.

Wilson had been with the Ferguson Police Department for six years. He had been on paid administrative leave since the incident.

According to the Post-Dispatch, Wilson said he's not receiving a severance package. Wilson has not said what he plans to do next.

Wilson, 28, cited security fears in his letter of resignation, which 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."

According to his attorney, Wilson had been in hiding since days after the shooting, when he received a phone call saying his home address was circulating on the internet. He was mowing the grass at the time.

Hey, I know, maybe he can provide security for Paula Dean.

Tewksbury, New Hampshire

I have often thought that something should be done to revitalize America’s interest in public libraries. And low and behold, one woman in New Hampshire has given it her best shot.

I imagine that the public library in Tewksbury, New Hampshire is generally a non-eventful type of environment. However, according to police, there has been a lot more than just books opening at that particular facility.

On June 10, at approximately 6 PM, police detectives arrested 20-year-old Brittany Macintyre for offering sex for a fee at the library. Macintyre is a resident of nearby Nashua.

Police received a tip that a woman was soliciting sex for a fee from a library patron and sent detectives, in plain clothes, to investigate.

One of the detectives went to the area of the library where the suspect was present and had reportedly solicited the patron, according to Police Chief Tim Sheehan. “The suspect immediately engaged the detective in conversation. Ms. Macintyre then passed the detective a pen and a small piece of paper. Notes were exchanged back and forth until Ms. Macintyre requested $60 dollars for a sexual act.”

The detective and Macintyre then proceeded to the front entranceway of the library where she was placed under arrest. Detectives discovered that Macintyre had an outstanding warrant for drug possession out of Lawrence District Court.

She was charged with Sexual Conduct for a Fee (Prostitution), Warrant issued by Lawrence District Court for Possession of a Class A substance, and Possession of a Class B substance.

Las Vegas Shooting Spree: Details Emerge on Killers Jared and Amanda Miller

Las Vegas shooters Jerad and Amanda Miller

Las Vegas, Nevada

It’s becoming a tough job lately, keeping up with all of the mass shooting incidents happening around the country. The latest, this past weekend, occurred in Las Vegas.

Jerad and Amanda Miller killed three people, including two police officers and another victim who tried to help. The officers killed have been identified as Alyn Beck and and Igor Soldo, along with another victim, Robert Wilcox.

Beck, 41, was a married father of three who had been with the department since 2001. Soldo, 31, had been with the department since 2006. He is survived by a wife and baby, police said. Wilcox was a resident of Las Vegas.

The shooting took place late Sunday morning, while the officers were having lunch at CiCi’s Pizza restaurant.

Authorities say that Jerad Miller pulled a handgun out and shot officer Soldo one time in the back of the head. Officer Beck immediately began to react, but was shot once in the throat area. Amanda Miller then removed a handgun from her purse and both Jerad and Amanda fired multiple shots into officer Beck.

After shooting the officers, police say the suspects pulled the men out of the booth and laid them on the floor. They then placed a flag – a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, "Don't tread on Me" – on top of Beck, along with a swastika. On Soldo, the two placed a note, police said, that read, "This is the start of the revolution."

After the shooting, police say the couple took the officers' handguns and ammunition and fled across the street to a nearby Walmart. There, police say, Jerad Miller fired off one round and told everyone to get out of the store. At some point he allegedly yelled, "This is a revolution."

Inside the Walmart, 31-year-old Robert Wilcox approached Jerad Miller, not noticing Amanda Miller. During the confrontation, Amanda Miller shot Wilcox in the rib area.

A shootout with pursuing officers ensued, during which Amanda Miller took her handgun and fired several rounds into Her next move, was to take her handgun and end her own life with one gunshot to the head.

The Lafayette Journal & Courier reports Jerad Miller's criminal record dates back to 2007 and includes arrests for drugs, criminal recklessness, misdemeanor battery and violating jail records.

The Las Vegas Sun on Monday interviewed residents at the Las Vegas apartment complex where Jerad and Amanda Miller reportedly lived together. According to the couple's neighbors, they were street performers and had a reputation for spouting racist and anti-government views.

The last publicly viewable status update was made to the profile on June 7, the day before the shootings. It reads:

"The dawn of a new day. May all of our coming sacrifices be worth it."
