Isnt it IRONIC that the very good (sarcasm) police officer is letting criminals walk out of court, because he is such a poor cop that he cant SHOW UP to testify???? What a COWARD!!!! And yet, he shows up to testify at a Grand Jury hearing for his own butt, while collecting his pay while being PROTECTED by the Ferguson Police Department. The man, police officer Darren Wilson, hadn’t been seen in public since Aug. 9, when he shot and killed an unarmed black teenager and found himself in a wave of national fury. But here, at this unrelated preliminary hearing, Wilson had incentive to appear. He’d been asked to to provide testimony against an alleged low-level drug dealer — somebody he’d wrestled to the ground and handcuffed 20 months earlier, in an arrest that won him a Ferguson city commendation. Now Wilson just had to recount the story to a judge. The courtroom players took their places for just one in a series of rapid-fire hearings. A few minutes passed. The judge called the defense attorney and prosecutor into whispering range, and soon it became clear: Wilson wasn’t going to show, his absence emblematic of a remarkable period in which the central character of an explosive national story has gone totally dark. Judge Mary Schroeder then dismissed the drug case for what she called a “failure to prosecute.” With Wilson in hiding, some of what he accomplished on that force is being undone. Days after Wilson no-showed at the Brooks hearing, the St. Louis County prosecutors’ office said that several other pending felony cases were being dismissed because they “could not proceed without the testimony of Wilson.” I think the man should be FIRED, with no pension!!!! And surely, his commendation should be rescinded! He deserves nothing, but a great big bill for all the turmoil he created by being a BAD COP with horrible judgment! Where are the GOOD COPS???? Why are you silent and defending this jerk???? If you remain SILENT, it is agreement!! You need to OUT your superiors and those that are in the wrong in your departments. washingtonpost/politics/ferguson-police-officer-darren-wilson-has-mastered-a-disappearing-act-since-shooting/2014/11/21/2a4fc4cc-71cf-11e4-893f-86bd390a3340_story.html
