Per Intelihealth:
Indirect orbital floor fracture ("blowout fracture"). This occurs when the bony rim of the eye remains intact, but the paper thin floor of the eye socket cracks or ruptures. This can cause a small hole in the floor of the eye socket that can trap parts of the eye muscles and surrounding structures. The injured eye may not move normally in its socket, which can cause double vision. Most blowout fractures are caused by an impact to the front of the eye from something bigger than the eye opening, such as a baseball, a fist or an automobile dashboard.
Approximately 2.5 million traumatic eye injuries, including eye socket fractures, occur each year in the United States. About 85% of these injuries happen by accident, during contact sports, at work, in car crashes or while doing home repair projects. About 15% are caused by violent assaults. Men suffer from traumatic eye injuries about four times more often than women do. The average age of the injured person is about 30. The source of the injury is usually a blunt object -- baseball, hammer, rock, piece of lumber -- and the most frequent place of injury is the home. At one time, eye injuries were common in motor vehicle accidents, usually when a victim's face struck the dashboard. Such eye injuries have decreased dramatically because more cars have airbags, and most states have laws mandating the use of seat belts.

Myth Buster proved and officers are trained that a suspect at 20ft can rush you before you can holster your weapon. Wilson knows the danger of being BUM Rushed. Add to that his eye is blown creating all sort of potential vision issues including depth perception. Good luck prosecuting this.
I would also ask if the protesters would they fell better if one shot would have killed Michael?
A biker sucker-punched me when I was 19. Had an orbital blow out fracture. They had to pull my eye up out of my sinus and then wire everything back together. It is a devastating injury. I had double vision for two days and a massive concussion.
I wonder why you would self-inflict and orbital blowout... Oh I know, to frame the black guy!
Doesn’t matter. They’ll riot again when the officer is acquitted.
Wilson did real good.He’s got a serious eye injury,in pain and probably some shock,adrenalines pumping like crazy,and he’s got a huge most likely drug crazed thug charging back to kill him.With all that chaos,he still got the job done.
If GG was going backward with his arms up, he could not have been shot on top of the head and he would not have fallen on his front.
Why the morons allowed the meme of "hands up don't shoot" to get started and settled is beyond me. We're going to have college bands at football games forming the "hands up, don't shoot" sign during halftime, like they did with Trayvon Martin. And that was even after all the facts came out. For the Agitators, truth and facts don't matter, it's the agitation and incitement that's important.
Wasn’t the Hildabeast sporting corrective lenses for this a while back?
Was there ever any verifiable proof of the fractured orbital eye socket story?
From what Ive heard it was all based on some caller to a radio show.
