Sorry, looks like my friend and deacon was mistaken. He was the one who told me about Free Republic on 9/16/01, in the aftermath of 9/11. He’s a good man, in his 80’s and is trustworthy but may have slipped up a bit on this.
NP...there are actual photos of Officer Wilson’s injuries that were released by the grand jury/prosecutor today. http://apps.stlpublicradio.org/ferguson-project/evidence.html
Face contusions described here: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370726-darren-wilson-medical-records.html
I haven’t found the photos of his face on the official site yet.
