Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot dead unarmed black teenager Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, his attorney said, according to Associated Press.
The news agency reported the decision, which comes nearly four months after the fatal confrontation with the black 18-year-old that fueled protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the nation.
The lawyer of Michael Brown's family said a first year law student "could have done a better job" than the prosecutor's office did in this case.
"A first year law student would have did a better job of cross-examining the killer of an unarmed person than the prosecutor's office did," Attorney Benjamin Crump said.
Armies of protesters took to the streets following the Ferguson shooting decision, in a sign of the monumental challenge now facing America.
The police officer who shot dead Michael Brown says he has a clear conscience over his actions.
