FULL TITLE: 'I can't go out... the support is really keeping me going during this stressful time. Just stay safe': Under 24-hour guard in fear for his life, Darren Wilson breaks his silence in texts to friend

The policeman who shot dead a black teenager in St Louis has revealed he is under 24-hour guard and 'can't go out' at this 'stressful time' in his first comments since the killing.

Darren Wilson text messaged a close friend to say that he can't leave protective custody because he would be immediately recognized - making him and his young child a target.

In his messages Wilson, 28, also thanked for the support of his friends which he said was 'really keeping me going'.

He had texted Jake Shepard, his friend of 14 years, who showed the messages to MailOnline because he wanted the public to get a more accurate picture of the friend he described as always having 'pure intentions'.

Took some 3 months before we saw official pictures of George Zimmerman’s wounds. The shooting happened in late February and the pictures were released in May.

Well the good news is that I read some 12 witnesses are backing up Wilson’s side of the story.

What a silly comment.

In that picture there's no evidence he even has a face.

Look what happened when they released the video of the poor little guy borrowing some Swisher Sweets from that mean old storeowner.

They are saving evidence for trial disclosure.

Correction:

18 is only an adult if it’s wearing a blue dress, under the desk in the Oval Office, with a democrat in office

Weak. A blowout fracture is inside the skull. You don't see it externally. Plus, the incident just happened.

Bruising, IF it happens may not appear for a while if at all.

Don't hang your hat on this one.

I want to make it clear that I hope that Wilson acted reasonably, but I don’t want to run with unconfirmed claims that Wilson had his face punched in. Is that wrong? I’m trying to figure out what happened.

“No evidence of the blown-out eye socket in that pic.”

The grainy pic the day of the shooting? Is that even Wilson?

“I don’t understand why pics of the officer’s face have not been released and some kind of cogent recitation of the facts have come out of the police dept”

No need to if true. A “blown up” orbital socket would most likely require surgery. No need for the riots to move to a hospital. If true the evidence will be presented in court, not the media

You might want to ask him what stupid looks like. Then will know him when we see him.
