The orbital fracture story has been discredited, but it is pretty hard to argue over the 6’4”, 290 lb. guy pushing the little store guy around. Also, if his hands were raised how did the bullets hit the front of his arms? Or at least that is how the autopsy graffic appeared.

I hadn’t read that the “broken orbital fracture” was discredited.

Our media needs a whippin’. BOTH sides.

The only one discrediting that story is CNN based on an unknown source. Meanwhile the original source for the story was a high ranking police official. Guess we won’t know for sure for a while, but I wouldn’t put it past CNN to spin this.

Where did you hear that? What’s the source; that ambulance chasing lawyer Crump?

Having the fracture "discredited" doesn't negate the fact he was attacked and likely a bit dazed from the punches.

Saw a perfect graphic come across Twitter yesterday, but I didn't mark it, so I'll try explaining it the best I can.

Think of the way a runner starts off at the beginning of a race- head down with arms swinging back and forth in front of the body as the runner uses the motion to gain momentum. Like this:

That scenario fits with the injuries along the arm as well as the ones in the head since the Officer would have been aiming for center mass.
