Ferguson police officer resigned on safety concerns, lawyer says

FERGUSON, Missouri - The white police officer who shot an unarmed black teenager to death this summer in a St. Louis suburb decided to resign from the force because of threats against fellow officers after a grand jury decided not to indict him, his lawyer said on Sunday.
Darren Wilson's resignation, announced on Saturday, came nearly four months after the officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9.
Wilson, who said he was acting in self-defense and that his conscience is clear, had been on administrative leave and in seclusion.
