Officer Darren Wilson Suffered “Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket” During Mike Brown Attack
Gateway Pundit ^ | 19 Aug 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/19/2014 8:22:57 AM PDT by mandaladon

The Gateway Pundit can now confirm from two local St. Louis sources that police Officer Darren Wilson suffered facial fractures during his confrontation with deceased 18 year-old Michael Brown. Officer Wilson clearly feared for his life during the incident that led to the shooting death of Brown. This was after Michael Brown and his accomplice Dorian Johnson robbed a local Ferguson convenience store.

Local St. Louis sources said Wilson suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket.” This comes from a source within the District Attorney’s office and confirmed by the St. Louis County Police.

I believe what your seeing in the shot pattern up the body is the officer bringing his weapon up from low ready position. you never shoot to wound and you never shoot to kill. This is not Holywood folks. A young fit person can cover 35ft. fast. That is why he is triggering as he is bringing the gun up. The shot to the top of his head is the last shot and was likely fired a split second after the shot that brought MB down and hit as MB was falling.

If true, this info should have been made public within 6-12 hours of the incident; and have included pictures.

OH, it was available, the media just didn't want to publish it. Still doesn't. Look on TV, seen any mention of it yet ?

Why have none of the witnesses mentioned this before now?

You mean the 'witnesses' who didn't see the actual incident, but gave an account based on what Dorian Johnson stated ?

As soon as the Grand Jury No-bills the indictment (meaning no evidence to bring charges), Officer Wilson, SERIOUSLY, should flee to a non-extradition country (I recommend Croatia or St. Petersburg Russia) and wait to return 21 JAN 2017 when Holder and Obozo are out of office.

Please translate to English (in general not specifics of this case)..

I'm not a professional but twenty years of ER administration taught me a few things: the "orbit" is the boney area around the eye...the "eye socket" I guess you could say.Orbital fractures aren't uncommon and can be caused in many ways...including after having been punched in the face.It would be interesting to see if the dead punk had a "Boxer's fracture",which is a specific type of wrist fracture sometimes seen in those who have punched a person or thing (a wall,for example).It's called a "boxer's" fracture because it's a classic kind of fracture suffered by boxers (among others).

I wish back about 300 years ago, America had outlawed slavery. We should have picked our own damned cotton.

England, Spain and France, you mean? Our nation had not been founded at that point. The Founders knew it was going to lead to war, George Mason in particular. They tried to negotiate their way out, however the largely agrarian southern colonies-become-states were entirely too dependent upon it. So, the peculiar institution remained and the war that Mason predicted at the Founding that would tear the nation apart occurred.

If true, it also explains why all the shots were to one side.

I think it’s interesting that so much is made of him being 35 feet away.

This is where the media misleads the public by leaving out information.

Yes, Mike ended up 35 feet away... FROM THE POLICE SUV.

The left out information is HOW FAR DID THE OFFICER MOVE away from the SUV as he got out of the car to chase a runaway suspect ?

Estimates (we worked this out last night) are that the officer ended up 5 or 10 feet away from Mike during the final shot.
