I posted about it last week, but it has dropped off the radar. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025411848

“Wilson previously worked in nearby Jennings, where the black population is 86.1 percent.”
Officer Darren Wilson Lives in Crestwood, Black Population 1.3%, http://colorlines.com/archives/2014/08/officer_darren_wilson_lives_in_crestwood_black_population_13.html

Article Dated: March 12, 2011 “The council said corruption inside the department led to this.”
Jennings police department dissolves, http://www.kmov.com/news/local/Jennings-police-department-dissolves-117864314.html

And an additional link:

Wilson, 28, has been an officer in suburban St. Louis for six years and had no complaints filed against him, Jackson said. Police previously refused to identify Wilson, citing concerns over the officer's safety.

(snip)

Jackson described Wilson as "a gentle, quiet man" who had been "an excellent officer." He's been on the Ferguson force for four years. Prior to that, he patrolled in the neighboring community of Jennings, Jackson said.

You will notice it has been all over mainstream media ---

Psych! That would be the victim smearing instead of the police corruption issue.
