Darren Wilson Resigns From His Job As A Police Officer In Ferguson And Will Not Receive Severance Pay In The Killing Of Teen Mike Brown (Video)


In all of the government's pleas for peace and calm after the questionable grand jury verdict in Ferguson, Missouri, that moved not to indict police officer, Darren Wilson, in the shooting death of teen Mike Brown, no one bothered to tell him not to go on television and inflame the situation with his callous words. Wilson did a cocky interview where he stated he would do the same thing again in killing Brown, whom he labeled a "demon." Wilson showed a complete lack of remorse in Brown's murder. He made the situation that much worse. Wilson has now resigned and will receive no severance pay according to the local mayor.

Well respected forensic pathologist, Michael Baden concluded, six shots was excessive in subduing an alleged aggressor. To this day we don't truly know what happened or what was said that led to the confrontation between Wilson and Brown because people can say anything they want to when the primary witness is dead.

However, we do know this in looking at the facts - an unarmed teenager was shot 6 TIMES and that is excessive force and police brutality. This was and is deserving of a prison sentence. Wilson did not have to kill Brown. Wilson did not have to shoot him that many times. It was not an accident. It was a deliberate execution under a hail of bullets that need not be repeated again. For every decent cop who does their job well, Wilson has made it that much harder for them and damaged race relations as well. Worst of all, a family has lost their son.

Top Forensic Pathologist Michael Baden States There Was No Evidence Of A Struggle Between Mike Brown And Police And He Should Not Have Been Shot So Many Times

World renown forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, autopsied the body of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was executed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer, Darren Wilson, in a case of excessive force meets extrajudicial killing. Dr. Baden, who oversaw the autopsies of the late great civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was very clear in his pronouncement on the case, waiving his standard $10,000 fee, it was unjustifiable.


Michael Brown was left in the street dead for almost 5 hours, as no ambulance arrived at the scene, in what necessitates a criminal investigation. Ambulances usually arrive within a few short minutes.

Police officials in Ferguson, who are not forthcoming with information, prompting understandable cries of a cover-up from the public, will try to paint the case as justifiable homicide. However, Dr. Baden, who has performed over 20,000 autopsies stated, "In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, 'You’re not supposed to shoot so many times.'" Thank you very much. This should be basic common sense. The average officer is not shooting people that many times, especially an unarmed person.

Wilson shooting Brown SIX times, twice in the head and four times to the torso, was not a warning shot, with shot being singular, it was an outright execution. Wilson claims Brown attacked him, though a witness states it was the other way around. However, Dr. Baden stated the autopsy reveals there was "no evidence of a struggle" on Brown's part. Dr. Baden also stated Brown was shot after he surrendered, as his hands were in the air, judging by the entry points and locations of the four bullets that pierced and lined his right arm. Who shoots a man who has surrendered? A murderer that's who, not a law abiding police officer.

Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times

AUG. 17, 2014 - “In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, ‘You’re not supposed to shoot so many times,’ ” said Dr. Baden, who retired from the state police in 2011. “Right now there is too little information to forensically reconstruct the shooting.”
