Did they erase everything on line related to Darren Wilson

[malaise]

and ensure that he fled town with tasteless haste?
The man has no history - amazing!

[JanetLovesObama]

1. I am beginning to wonder if

that is really his name. Somebody, somewhere must have a photo or information about this guy. Hard to believe he was able to completely disappear.

2. Is it possible to search the wayback machine?

9. I tried that earlier

Didn't find anything. I do find it amazing that a 26 yr old would have no electronic footprint. I tried searching in Ferguson, Jennings & Crestwood MO with no luck.

3. Smells wonky.

[winter is coming]

4. I wouldn't be surprised if they've spent the last several days creating a Darren Wilson

and there is no such person.

[SwankyXomb]

5. There's a Washington Post article

with enough detail that you could probably find his house, but with the St Louis County records offline, I can't be sure.

[Arrowood]

11. Saw a report that they did find his house...

... and reporters were told that he had left.

[grasswire]

6. he probably did not live in Ferguson

The town does not require its police to live there. That's one clue.

[HooptieWagon]

12. Lived in Crestwood...

... but "left town" several days ago.

Exact whereabouts unknown. Apparently hasn't been interviewed or deposed about the shooting by investigators. IMO, this is very strange and unusual. Generally, a cop involved in a shooting is assigned a desk job until investigation is complete. Or, under questionable circumstances they are suspended with pay, I assume that means they sit at home. But, for a cop involved in a shooting to leave town during the course of an investigation... I've never heard of such a thing.

15. Left town is probably another way of saying he is running and hiding.

24. Check George Zimmerman's place

undisclosed location

[Boom Sound 416]

7. Or he didn't find it neccassary to

Push himself all over the Internet with selfies, baby photos and rants.

[starroute]

16. That's not the only way people get mentioned online

The articles say he got a commendation last winter -- there would normally be some mention of that. There might have been a notice when he joined the Ferguson Police Department. Sometimes cops get their picture in the paper because they're sent around to schools or civic organizations to do presentations. Getting mentioned in a small-town paper is normally the easiest thing in the world.

And even if some of this has been scrubbed, it wouldn't have had time to drop out of Google search results. The guy really is peculiarly invisible.

[Boom Sound 416]

19. Could be.

I'm ok with it.

[GeorgeGist]

8. Sorta like witness protection ...

turned on it's head.

[rhett o rick]

10. He should be arrested and not allowed to flee. nm

[malaise]

13. He skipped town ages ago

Gone gone gone

[bigtree]

14. I think that's highly likely

. . . answer could well be no, but I doubt that he didn't have an online fingerprint and all these days without id gave his supporters plenty of time to erase whatever might have been there.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. It's weird that he was a cop in one jurisdiction for two years, then another for four

Cops often switch jurisdictions when they've been shitcanned in one, even for serious violations. It's a big problem. Cops who are discharged for violations simply apply to another small jurisdiction and get hired.

They said he had no disciplinary in the Ferguson PD. What about his first jurisdiction? What was his first jurisdiction, by the way? Did we ever learn that? If not, why not?

[malaise]

18. Yep re switching jurisdictions

but listening to the discussions on the Ferguson PD, there was no supervision of serious violations so he may have been getting away with 'murder' for four years.

[octoberlib]

20. Jennings was his first jurisdiction.

The geographic difference between Ferguson and Crestwood is tiny—a short 26 miles away. But the demographic differences are severe. In 2012, the median household income in Ferguson was $36,121; it was nearly double for Crestwood, at $64,724. And while Ferguson is a largely black city where 64.9 percent of residents are black, Crestwood’s black population is tiny, at just 1.3 percent. Wilson previously worked in nearby Jennings, where the black population is 86.1 percent.

Wilson has policed two cities with majority black working class populations. Cities that look nothing like the one he calls home

21. This explains why he left the Jennings PD

It was shut down after a corruption scandal.

[octoberlib]

22. Interesting. Thanks for the link!

[alcibiades_mystery]

27. Oooof!

[Jenoch]

25. People also switch jobs for reasons other

than being 'shitcanned'.

[alcibiades_mystery]

26. No doubt

In this case, apparently, the company was shut down!

[IdaBriggs]

28. Did you read where his department was dissolved due to corruption?

I believe "shit canned" is the appropriate term in this case.

23. I Think Ferguson Has Out-Flor-Eee-Duhed Flor-Eee-Duh

On THIS CASE! But maybe not. I live in FL and sooooo much is sooooo wrong, but this killing in MO keeps having wheels flying in every direction! Have some friends who live so close to the center of it all who visit FL quite a bit. Bought a house 2 houses away and he always popped jokes about how screwed up this state is. Never argued with him about it, have to agree. However we have talked about race from time to time. I've called him out about his tinge of racism and we got into a couple of very heated arguments during the Zimmerman/Martin fiasco. He kept making comments then would add "I'm Standing My Ground!" Really, really made me livid since I marched in a couple of Justice For Trayvon marches.

I DO live in a place I call "white bread" because there are so few people of other races who live here, but told him that's NO reason to attack me when I would call him out regarding what I felt were semi-racist comments. He actually has told me that my view would change if I lived where he did. Told him he was absolutely wrong, so now I'm seeing exactly where he lives and what's happening. Have been tempted to call him and tell him I'm watching "his" home town and ask him if he's "standing his ground!" Just not that rude. Can't say he's a real racist, but he never seemed to understand how strongly I felt about the injustice about the Zimmerman type killings. And it seems it's happening more and more all over this country!!

I could go on and on about so many wrongs, but WOW the militaristic militia show I saw was just SICKENING! Way too scary, way to WRONG!
