If you were Officer Wilson, how would you begin your new life? (legal, insurance)

[Serious Conversation]

He was not charged, but resigned from his job and probably will never work as a cop again. How would you try to start over if you were him? I'd immediately leave Ferguson, sell anything I had there, legally change my name, and go into another line of work.

In another state, another line of work and under a new name.

[Hyperthetic]

Move to Heyden Lake, Idaho?

[chucksnee]

He cannot.....

[no1brownsfan]

Move to BFE, change my name, my identity, and live as quitely as possible.

[armourereric]

Have someone arrange to call his home and leave threats, torch the house, take the insurance and disappear. Zurich whatever.

[froglipz]

Have the dept. give him an "early retirement" package to make the whole problem go away.

Good question. If I were him I'd get away from the St Louis area and move somewhere where there ain't many hood rats like here in Arizona.

Tho it's a travesty that Wilson is being "punished" for doing HIS job.

Buy two houses, across the street from each other. Publish the address of one, and place a sign in the yard saying "Officer Wilson Lives Here". Watch the particularly mindless morons line up to protest and trash the place, while filming the thugs doing so.

Or perhaps, do the same, but set up a blind and load up. Except that's sort of hunting over bait, F&G might have an issue.

Actually, first thing would be to firebomb the home of the NYT editor that published my address.

I would think that a name change and a new residence outside of the STL area would be in order.
