You’ve probably heard Saturday afternoon’s breaking news: Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, cleared of criminal charges in the shooting of Michael Brown, has resigned from the Ferguson police force, effective immediately. Twitchy collected a number of tweets from breaking news organizations in another post, but CNN’s tweet in particular has some people riled up for making sure race stays front and center.
