I think Darren Wilson's career is over...

[Archae]

As a cop, that is.

If he ever gets a job as a cop again, it'll most likely be in some tiny PD of a small town somewhere.

[hobbit709]

1. There's plenty of "sundown" type towns that will hire him.

[Quackers]

2. Something tells me

He will sell his rights to the story or have someone write a book about it. He's about to cash in on this.

[Niceguy1]

3. he is probably several chapters

Into his book right now.

[TBF]

15. ^^ Yup, or new commentator for FAUX news ... nt

[Johonny]

26. Yeah, The OJ cops turned a nice penny from the racists and still get gigs on FOX

If he has any brains at all he will likely grift the crap out of the GOP bigots. Those people don't like paying taxes but will give any grifter the keys to the mint if the grifter is any good. Hell even when the suck bad like Palin they still make out like bandits. Grifters got to grift.

[Itchinjim]

4. Fox News contributer.

Just like Mark Fuhrman.

[YarnAddict]

23. Fuhrman never killed anyone

Just sayin'.

[Sienna86]

5. I think he will have a miserable life.

He will have to look over his shoulder the rest of his days. Reminds me of George Zimmerman.

[Delphinus]

9. I would imagine

that is correct.

[merrily]

6. Well, we KNOW Michael Brown's career is over, before it had a chance to start.

Whatever happens to POS Wilson and that POS prosecutor will not match that.

[Delphinus]

7. Yep. n/t

[pstokely]

8. Ferguson is a tiny town nt

nt

[TBF]

16. No it's not - it's part of St. Louis. nt

[Sparhawk60]

10. Why Would He Have to Work?

The man is set for life. Between the pay off to resign, book deal, stints as a talking head on Fox news, he will be rolling in the dough.

[frylock]

32. don't forget the $500,000 that was crowdfunded by his supporters..

he'll do just fine.

[gollygee]

11. He can join Mark Fuhrman

sadly, there is enough racism in this country where he'll probably have no problem finding work - people will seek him out. He won't have to do regular work anymore. He'll get speaking engagements and things like that.

[MoonRiver]

12. He'll probably become the star attraction at NRA and KKK events,

because Zimmerman is so yesterday.

[WinkyDink]

13. WTH cares? His LIFE isn't over, IS it? No. Why, he just got MARRIED! (You see where I'm heading?)

There is no point to this thread.

[geardaddy]

28. +1 million n/t

[maced666]

14. Oh, he quit. He has had so much money donated....

Someone had a link up yesterday, said it was into 7 figures.

[Bettie]

17. He'll probably also get a bunch of cash from the Ferguson PD

as a reward for his actions too.

Yeah, he's probably set for life.

[hifiguy]

34. I am sure he is already worth far more than most of us here on DU

He will be a hero in right wing circles and probably never have to work again.

[Vinca]

18. Maybe he can get a security gig with a white supremacist organization.

[SoCalDem]

19. He's just recently married

He could change his name quietly (his prosecutor buddy could help him), then load up their stuff and move to some very southern town, and he could have a long career as a Barney Fife-esque deputy...... as long as he keeps his weapon holstered..

[dawg]

29. "... so long as he keeps his weapon holstered"

I seriously doubt he would be able to do that. This guy never needs to be in any sort of position of authority ever again. And he certainly doesn't need to be carrying a gun.

[SoCalDem]

30. But he will be..

To many, he is a folk-hero, and will have no problem getting another job

[dawg]

31. Says more about them than it does about him.

Wilson *might* just be a guy who got terrified and flew into a rage and emptied his magazine into a guy who was no longer a threat. That's bad, and he's bad police, but things like that do happen. People are full of flaws, and some just aren't cut out to be good law enforcement.

On the other hand, the people who would make him into a folk hero have no excuses at all. They are vile, stupid, and most likely racists.

[libtodeath]

20. He should be watched 24/7 for any more crimes he commits.

[CanonRay]

21. He'll have a Fox News show

[el_bryanto]

22. He should look into being a commentator on Fox News - they might give him a job. nt

[6000eliot]

24. Gee, that's too bad.

[KinMd]

25. Couple of years from now, away from Ferguson

ask someone on the street who Darrin Wilson is and they might say he's a receiver for the Seahawks.

[Avalux]

27. He has no business being a cop with all that fear he's got fogging his brain. n/t

[hifiguy]

33. He will be able to make a small fortune on the reichwing speaking circuit.

His past will be counted as a plus by that demographic.

[BlindTiresias]

35. lol no

Many cops would love to have him, I bet.
