Officer Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket

So when both turn out true, you'll eat crow? *rhetorical*

 

Yes and yet they could end their ignorance on these subjects with just a modicum of research. But then that would interfere with their bitter insistence that a tragic but utterly legitimate police action was actually the result of a murderous racist of a rogue cop just wanting to kill a man due to the color of the fellow's skin. They are acting like intellectual and emotional children. But they CAN learn if they can find within themselves the integrity to give it a shot. It's the ones who are determinedly irrational on the subject that are bothersome because it's as if they have no use for . . . sanity.

 

This is one of the places were I and the rest of the social liberals split paths.

If you attack someone you are forfeiting your own right of safety to their right to defend themselves and you deserve what you get.

 

I think firing two in the chest one in the head twice with one eye after just fighting for your life at 12 yards is pretty good marksmanship.

 

Thanks, and you are correct. The posters we were dealing with who'd closed their mind to reason and to facts will most likely never change. In the end they will be some of the ones eventually going to their graves believing that a rogue racist cop got away with murder, and all the counter facts and the testimony of legitimate eye-witnesses saying precisely the opposite, will never mean anything to them.

 

maybe he was worried brown would get away and then try it again, take a weapon away from another brother officer in the future and kill him. so he wanted to arrest him

 

If both of what are true? Are you talking about the unsubstantiated claims? If either of the irresponsible "bomb throwers" who made the claims get lucky, they don't magically become honest. What's your point?

 

I have no problem believing that.

However, even after the attack, if he surrendered their was no longer justified use of force.

That being said...after seeing the scan images I have a hard time believing Brown surrendered at any point.

 

According to the medical examiner, approximately 2 to 3 feet is not a very big distance.

 

Its hard to tell from the quality of the images provided. But I can see at the very least three very apparently breaks, with a possible fourth a little higher up.

What stands out is the angle of the highest apparent fracture pushing toward the orbit/eyeball and the possibility of it pressing on the optic nerve or back of the orbit.

After seeing this its a real possibility that this officer is no in hiding but is in the hospital under going facial reconstruction surgery to save the use of his eye.

I can't say for sure as there's only one single slice of his cat scan where there would be usually at the last 30-60 slices depending on the quality of the cat scan machine itself. But having seen these five days a week for the last four years, I'm gonna guess that he is working with a plastic surgeon for reconstruction. Really wish the views of his sinuses were available I could tell more accurately which direstion he was struck from and what angle it most likely was, I.E upper cut, right hook.

Also, just so everyone knows, that may look like his right eye..but it isn't. Because he is on his back for the scan that is actually his left eye.

 

Because Michael Brown did not have a lynch mob burning the city down calling for his head on a stake.

 

You don't know how they obtained to info or how they vetted it. My point is, you can't call them dishonest if they turn out to be telling the truth.

 

That sounds like a gruesome injury, but is it? Using the right medical language I can make a stubbed toe sound awful. Personally I hope his eyeball is hanging out by the retina so that it will be more obvious that he was in the right. But I'm not so sure of that until I see pictures. For now, it's a fracture. We have no idea how serious.

 

hitting rock bottom and continuing to dig I see......

 

0_0............As a country, we've really LOST IT. A criminal tries to incapacitate an officer and we're giving the criminal the benefit of doubt!? In 2014? Really?

 

Explain, please. I'm trying to be objective. If you were on a jury, would that awful description in the headline of a news article make you decide the extent of his injuries, therefore justifying his actions; or would you want to know more and see more and read a medical report?

 

I'm sure they will. I wouldn't worry about a dearth of information. Eventually we'll know far more than we care to.

 

Last time I checked assaulting an officer carries a sentence of 5-10 years. If Brown was truly as much as 10 feet away, running away from the cop, and Wilson still shot and executed him with 6 bullets while his hands were in the air, Wilson should be looking at manslaughter most likely.

 

I am not giving him the benefit of the doubt. What I am trying to do is consider every piece of information objectively. It should bother every citizen when an unarmed person is killed by police. Since we don't know all the facts, we really don't know if the officer could've used less than lethal force. Cops get scared and they over react. No different than anyone else.

 

That's seems like business as usual. In my local TV viewing area, local knows shows a lot of surveillance video of crimes taking place or of suspects the police are trying to identify. What would be odd if they sat on the film and didn't release it.

 

The DOJ requested they not run it for fear it would incite the situation...which seems counter-intuitive.

 

You do know that the bullet wounds all entered Brown's body from the front.......right?

 

After being assaulted, and have the perp charge again. I'm pretty sure deadly force is green lighted even if they are unarmed. Standard protocol.

 

No, that isn't standard protocol. Standard protocol is to use only the force necessary to stop the subject. The law allows for the officer to defend his life. Now it's up to the officer to convince a grand jury that he was in fear of serious bodily harm or death. He isn't automatically excused because the idiot charged him. We may as well take the pepper spray and baton away from the cops and let them shoot everyone.

 

Has this story actually been confirmed? It comes from the same blog which brazenly lied about the whole illegal immigrant using EBT at a Walmart fiasco a few months back...
