MISSOURI: Darren Wilson Resigns

UPDATE: Here's his resignation notice.

I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process.

This Is A "Fractured Eye Socket"

Back in August, demented St. Louis-based teabagger Jim Hoft published repeated claims that "inside sources" had informed him that Darren Wilson had suffered a grievous "fractured orbital socket" during a "severe beating" by Michael Brown. Holf's claims rocketed around Teabagistan even though some of his own readers quickly figured out that the X-ray Hoft had posted was actually lifted out of a University of Iowa medical textbook. Today Hoft updated one of his several "fractured orbital socket" posts from August with the above photo, which was released yesterday, and a new headline: "Officer Darren Wilson Suffered Severe Facial Contusions After Severe Beating During Mike Brown Attack."

Anonymous Vs KKK, Continued

Ancona is the Imperial Wizard of Missouri's Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. From the New York Daily News:

The city of Ferguson is anxiously awaiting a grand jury's decision whether to indict cop Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown in August. Several months of riots and unrest followed the shooting. "We will use lethal force as provided under Missouri Law to defend ourselves," Ancona and the local KKK wrote in a flyer they are circulating in Ferguson. "You have been warned by the Ku Klux Klan!" Ancona tells The News that he is not asking anyone to do anything illegal — he is just encouraging the people of Ferguson to defend themselves against protesters in case they turn violent. He was only reached after a reporter had to endure 30 seconds of pre-recorded hate speech on the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK phone line. The Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is one of five active KKK groups in Missouri, the Southern Poverty Law Center says on its website. Ancona says the group has between 4,000 and 5,000 members. He hails from Park Hills — which also happens to be the Klan's national headquarters. He also has a message for Anonymous: "We are not Internet-based," Ancona says. "If they want to come after us, they have to come out onto the streets."

Whoa

On Sunday the same Anonymous account claimed to have identified three KKK members in attendance at a rally in Wilson's support. (Via JMG reader Scott)
