Wilson said he applied for several police positions elsewhere but was turned down due to concerns that he was a liability. Its too hot an issue, so it makes me unemployable, he told the New Yorker, during interviews for a profile published as the anniversary of Michael Browns death approaches.
The 29-year-old said he had resigned from the Ferguson police department days after a grand jury in St Louis declined to prosecute him for killing Brown, in a sharply contested incident that led to months of unrest in the city and protests around the US.
Wilson also told the magazine that despite the controversy, he wished he could return briefly to his old job in Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis. I would want to do it for a day, he said, in order to show observers that he was not defeated.
According to the article, Wilson and his wife, Barbara Spradling, who has also left her job as a Ferguson police officer, are living with their young child at an undisclosed location in the St Louis area. Wilson bought the property but his name was reportedly kept from the documentation out of fears for his safety.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Blatant personal attack on a newbie. The post in question was juried. Picking on newbies is not cool.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 5, 2015, 06:27 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Normally I don't approve of abusing newbies but I agree with hobbit709. If the newb/troll's post calling Michael Brown a "cowardly thug" is acceptable then so is this post.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Blah blah blah
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
Juror #3 is a smart cookie.
I also alerted on all 3 posts.

(7,231 posts)Even when the victim was no angel, shooting the victim was a heinous crime. No-one forfeits the right to live when he or she commits a crime, whatever the colour of their skin.
And you sir, are honestly and truly callous for intimating otherwise.
