"To all of the pro Officer Wilson Supporters..."
Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson penned a letter to supporters after a grand jury decided not to indict him in the shooting death of Michael Brown, according to a supporter who said she's been in touch with him.
The unidentified supporter read a letter on a KSDK-TV broadcast she said Wilson penned to supporters:
To all of the pro Officer Wilson Supporters -I would like to thank you all for standing up for me during this stressful time. Your support and dedication is amazing and it is still hard to believe that all of these people that I have never met are doing so much for me. I watched the CNN video we recorded at the rally on Saturday and it brought tears to my eyes.
All of you are simply amazing, and I don't know how to thank you all enough. I wish I could attend meet you, hug you, and personally thank you for all of your continued support, however, due to my and my families safety I am unable to. Please don't give this letter to any media or post it where they can see it. Relay the message of thanks to all and keep this letter private until the investigation is complete.
I want you all to know that I do get updates on the amount of support. Unfortunately, I don't get to see all of the comments made through social media, but overall messages are relayed to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and know that I would do the same for any of you.
Also please keep my family in blue in your hearts and prayers, they have all made a sacrifice to their own lives in order to work the excessive hours through the heat and rain to ensure that the riots and protests in Ferguson were as safe as they could be.
Thank you,
P.O. Darren Wilson
The announcement of the grand jury's decision sparked unrest in Ferguson, with some protesters looting and setting fire to local shops.
