Officer Wilsons Lawyer Just Issued A Heartbreaking Announcement The St. Louis County grand jury finally declared their decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Mike Brown. Based on earlier threats from the Ferguson group, the reaction from these protestors, rioters, and looters in Ferguson was about what was expected, as Ferguson burned last night. In the meantime, Officer Wilsons attorney released a statement to the media, clarifying that being cleared by the grand jury will bid Wilson a brief respite from his ongoing anguish, according to Newsmax. For him, none of this ends, said Neil Bruntrager, Wilsons attorney, also saying that the last few days before the grand jury verdict have been tense for the officer. People have made threats against his life, he will continue to be concerned about his familys security and his own, Bruntrager said. [Not being indicted] is a brief respite, but certainly not the end of things for him. He added that Wilson desired to thank those who have stood by his side throughout the process. This continued support is greatly appreciated by Officer Wilson and his family. Moving forward, any commentary on this matter will be done in the appropriate venue and not through the media. Law enforcement personnel must frequently make split-second and difficult decisions, said the lawyer. Officer Wilson followed his training and followed the law. We recognize that many people will want to second-guess the grand jurys decision. We would encourage anyone who wants to express an opinion do so in a respectful and peaceful manner, he said. A Further statement was spoken to the media as well, claiming to be straight from Wilson himself, read by a woman. To all of the pro-Officer Wilson supporters: I would like to thank you all for standing up for me during this stressful time. Your support and dedication is amazing, and it is still hard to believe that all of these people that I have never met are doing so much for me, the statement read. I wish I could attend and meet you, hug you and personally thank you for all of your continued support. However, due to my and my familys safety I am unable to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and know that I would do the same for any of you. Even though Wilson was cleared by the grand jury, he still has a long road ahead. Attorney General Eric Holder still sustains an open investigation into the matter on a federal level and can indicate to file civil rights charges against Wilson.
