Washington (AFP) - The Missouri police officer who killed an unarmed black teen sparking months of protests in the city of Ferguson will never return to policing, his lawyer said.

Darren Wilson is currently in discussions with the Ferguson, Missouri police department on the terms and conditions of his departure, attorney Neil Bruntrager said this week.



"There's no way in the world he can go back to being a police officer," the lawyer said.



"It's not a question of if, it's a question of when," Bruntrager said of Wilson's departure.



Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in August claiming he acted in self-defense.



The shooting set off days of racially-charged protests that erupted again this week after a grand jury on Monday announced that Wilson would not be charged over the fatal shooting.



Bruntrager told CNN that Wilson, who has said his conscience is clear, could simply not go back to work given the outrage over the case.



"The first day he would be back on the street something terrible would happen to him or to someone that would be working with him," he told CNN.



"The last thing he wants is to put other police officers at risk," the attorney added.

Does he even need to work after his paycheck from doing the ABC interview?

What terms? When most people quit they don't get paid, they move on. If they give him some kind of package I will be irate.

This makes me think that he's being terminated by the PD, rather than quitting. But they can't say that, because it would be admitting that an officer did something wrong.

Maybe he's claiming some type of workers compensation- mental anguish.

What? Why? The police force in Ferguson is losing such an amazing officer.

The officer who shot Timothy Thomas and set off the Cincinnati riot in 2001 left the Cincinnati Police Department and later got a job as a cop in one of the city's suburbs. When people found out and went off the suburb basically said, "Too bad. So sad. He's very well liked in the community." He's still on the force there.

So I'm not so sure he's done.
