Drastic Measures Taken, Why Darren Wilson Is Fearing For His Life According to recent reports, former police officer Darren Wilson is employing personal security from the St. Louis police union. The protection is set to continue indefinitely as many fear for the officers well being in light of the grand jurys decision. According to Jim Pasco, executive director of the St. Louis Fraternal Order of Police, the unique circumstances of the case justify the need for special security. I dont know how he can live a normal life, Pasco told reporters. Well work with him as long as necessary. Wilsons attorney, Neil Bruntrager, called the actions very unusual and verified that Wilsons resignation was the result of ongoing threats to himself, the Ferguson Police Department, and his family. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of the paramount importance to me, Wilson said in a statement. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal.
