Ferguson cop Darren Wilson breaks his silence following Michael Brown grand jury decisionNov 25th 2014
By Ryan Gorman
Exonerated Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson has finally broken his silence since the August 9 fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown.

"I would like to thank you all for standing up for me during this stressful time," Wilson wrote, according to a transcript released by KSDK. "Your support and dedication is amazing and it is still hard to believe that all of these people that I have never met are doing so much for me."

"I don't know how to thank you all enough," said Wilson. "I wish I could attend meet you, hug you, and personally thank you for all of your continued support, however, due to my and my families (sic) safety I am unable to.
-snip-
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and know that I would do the same for any of you."
Wilson closed the letter by asking everyone to keep his "family in blue" in their hearts and prayers as they handled the unenviable task of maintaining order in Ferguson and the surrounding area.
"They have all made a sacrifice to their own lives ... to ensure that the riots and protests in Ferguson were as safe as they could be."

Darren Wilson has accumulated a good amount of support from scared white people who somehow believe his story of the Magical Negro Michael Brown who, despite being about the same height as Wilson, has been described as a towering giant asserting his will over the tiny, helpless white man.
The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, thats how angry he looked. He comes back towards me again with his hands up, Wilson told the Grand Jury, saying that, When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding Hulk Hogan.
Wilsons supporters are not very diverse. The Ku Klux Klan was one of the first to voice its support for Wilson after Michael Browns death. Almost immediately, the Klan began raising reward money for Wilson to thank him for killing low-IQ Negro Michael Brown. Quickly, other groups of scared white people joined in, raising nearly a half million dollars in reward money through an organization called Support Darren Wilson.

Wilson is very thankful for this support. After his innocence was announced following the sham Grand Jury trial, Wilson released the following letter:

(979 posts)I think he really thinks that he was doing a service to the world by getting rid of "that black thug". And just by looking at the comments on that article, a ton of idiotic people agree. We have all been played, and some people don't know the wiser.
