Ferguson Protesters Decry Report Officer Wilson May Return to Work

-




Activists protesting the fatal shooting in August of an unarmed black teen by a white policeman expressed anger on Saturday after the city's police chief told local media the officer could return to work if a grand jury does not to charge him criminally. The St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, which saw weeks of sometimes violent protests following the Aug. 9 shooting, is on edge as a grand jury decides whether the officer, Darren Wilson, will face charges for the shooting of Michael Brown. Wilson would likely be fired if he is indicted, but could immediately return to duty if he is not, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told St. Louis broadcaster KSDK, adding that he had not spoken with Wilson to know if he wanted to rejoin the department. http://yhoo.it/1BynIIR http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

"This is the best," said Nick Fash, an education specialist for the Santa Monica-based environmental group Heal the Bay. "(Previous finds) aren't anything like this. This is a treat."     Related articles Rare saber-...
