Darren Wilson, the trigger-happy Ferguson police officer who gunned down an innocent teenager last weekend, is now using those fingers to text his friend of 14 years.
According to his friend, Jake Shepard, Wilson texted to thank him for all the support his friend is giving, after Shepard went on CNN to defend Wilson. Wilson informed Shepherd that he has 24 hour security and cannot go outside, presumably because of all the fuss his trigger-happy finger is causing the people in Ferguson Missouri.
Shepard told MailOnline that he is coming forward with this information to shed a different light on his good ole pal Darren Wilson.
Shepard also told MailOnline he thinks Wilson did the right thing according to his training. But he believes that the police in general should have better training to use non-lethal force before opening fire.
He said: ‘It’s sad for Mike Brown and his family. Darren could have just Tasered him and Mike would have spent six months in jail or something and maybe got his act together after that.
‘Darren could have gone on with his life too but now both of their lives are over. It sucks.
‘I’m sure Mike’s family is having a hard time but at least they have the support of the whole nation behind them, openly. Darren doesn’t get that’.
