EXCLUSIVE: Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”

According to the well-placed source, Wilson was coming off another case in the neighborhood on Aug. 9 when he ordered Michael Brown and his friend Dorain Johnson to stop walking in the middle of the road because they were obstructing traffic. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into physical violence, the source said..

“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.

The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"

At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, , 4 inch, 300-pound Brown charged Wilson,........

If Blacks want Brown as a hero...all is lost for them.

“What would have happened once he got the officer’s weapon?”

He’d have gone to the nearest range and shot some paper targets.

As mentioned, the evidence exonerating Mr Wilson could be infallible, and the race hustlers and their “victims” will still want white blood for this. It’s not about truth, it’s about the agenda.

Blacks who have assimilated will continue to do just fine.

But these feral blacks and their leaders like Obama, Sharpton, Jackson (and ferals of all races) are going to be further marginalized.

That’s my guess. Also I think that’s why no picture of Wilson’s injuries has been issued. Brown’s partner initially told a pack of lies then got confronted with the felony murder rule and the picture(s), all of which persuaded him to change his story.

You know, when I went to Kenya on vacation, I asked a tour guide what issues were important to the people for elections. He said it was just based on the tribes the politicians were from, and not any real issues.


Like it’s any different here.

I agree. I say it out loud. Obama could eat a live human baby on the White House steps and the courtly fools would say that baby had it coming.

Aggravated assault on two counts — the punch to Wilson’s face and the attempt to steal his weapon — made Brown a felony suspect. Wilson did not have the option of just driving off and pretending it didn’t happen. Gentle Ben was going to jail ... or the morgue. His decisions decided his fate.

Wilson is blameless.

Q: Watchoo gone do, shoot me?
A: Yes.

It really is sad.

Feral yutes are being told by their leaders that they are in the right and that they are being abused and should blame authority figures (like Whitey).

They are being led to slaughter.

To bad no one wants to try to wake them up.

We have a Burger King in my little town that hires the nicest young Black men and women. Everyone loves to eat there because they are so nice...and it is obvious that they will have bright futures.

Yet in the minds of feral yutes, they are just Uncle Toms.

These types will never have a confrontation with a police. This type is usually ostracized by mainstream black culture. But mainstream black culture immediately pretends that high-profile “victim” blacks like Trayvon and Brown were just like the Burger King workers in your town.

I am praying this is true and that those responsible to help this officer are checking, and re-checking, every detail to make sure when his side of the story is presented it is 100% accurate.

The officer may have been beaten, but he did NOT follow the new Fundamentally transformed law as it pertains to black beatdowns. ALL law enforcement agencies need to make sure their white officers commit it to memory, be trained in it and tested:

In Texas, but for Travis County, the Grand Jury would decide this, and turn down the brothers dream of a cop conviction, in about 30 minutes or less!

But, they probably wouldn’t have to since it is doubtful any prosecutor in Texas (but for Travis County) would even take this case to a Grand Jury.

During the beating and if you are armed, ask the innocent AA if they are armed. If they respond no between blows, hand them your weapon to give proof you trust them and are not a racist.

No, the networks will put a scroll and logo across any injury so it can’t be clearly seen just like they did with Zimmerman.

Dunno about Missouri, but around here it is dead common for paramedics to see and treat someone at the scene, then have a family or member or friend take them to the hospital for further treatment. If there’s no urgency, and no other reason they really need to take someone themselves, they have other things to do.

Plus ambulances are pricey, and insurance won’t necessarily cover it.

what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans

The 60s of what century? Oooh, the big mean South! That clown was born and raised in NY. He knows nothing about the South. I grew up in the South and the races got along much better than today. And wow! Black men and even white women folk voted just fine, thank you very much. Twern't none of da der poll taxin' neither, no siree bob.

Yea about an $1,800 ride. Indigents never pay. Taxpayers mostly end up paying for the charity hospital ambulance rides.
