EXCLUSIVE: Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”

According to the well-placed source, Wilson was coming off another case in the neighborhood on Aug. 9 when he ordered Michael Brown and his friend Dorain Johnson to stop walking in the middle of the road because they were obstructing traffic. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into physical violence, the source said..

“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.

The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"

At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, , 4 inch, 300-pound Brown charged Wilson,........

The pics of the badly beaten cop’s face will surely surface shortly, and then this will all be put to rest.

we’ve been hearing about this account for days - still hasn’t made it to the liberal talking heads.

IF this is true, this deal is over. Assaulting a cop, reaching for his gun, attempting to flee, all mean this was a good shoot.

In a sane, rational world yes.

I really think we could have crystal clear hi-def video of the whole thing and there would still be people who would call for Wilson's head.

It turns out the answer to the man-child’s question was, “Yes.”

This is the most realistic account of what could have happened.

The pictures of Officer Wilson’s facial injuries have probably been viewed by many (25 or more) in the media but no copies have been allowed. Just doesn’t take that long to take and print a picture then present picture for viewing. Smell something else in the wind. Not certain what that smell is though.

"then this will all be put to rest."

You're joking right? They could have the "Gentle Giant" on tape reaching in and beating the cop and this still would not be put to rest. There will be more riots, that is a guarantee from the racial grievances crowd...

The similarities between this and the Zimmerman incident are incredible.

1. Innocent young black boy with bright college future was on his way to meet his family.
2. Sweet boy is killed for no reason by racist man.
3. Pictures\videos appear that show that black boy is no saint but rather your typical gangsta POS. Supporters say “so what?”
4. Evidence that the black boy was the violent one and started the entire incident comes forth. Supporters say “so what”
5. Photos of beaten up opponent appears. Supporters still 100% unmoved.

Back in the 90’s - there was afemale police officer in TX that was beaten badly by a black male perp after being pulled over for a traffic violation. The man’s daughter was scream at him to get back in the vehicle...the officer recovered after having facial reconstruction - but later resigned due to the stress....she was unable to defend herself and did not pull her service weapon...

This goes back to Brown being held responsible for his actions from the time he started using violence and bullying his way around the neighborhood to get his way - sooner or later - this was going to end in his death - or several other people...

What would would have happened once he got the officer’s weapon — ???

This officer didn’t do anything wrong - all the witnesses statements - actions of both parties involved - all go back to Brown and his actions before, during, and well, there’s no after...time ran out for this thug!

I'd say beating that the cop went above and beyond. He could have just called for backup and let this dangerous monster get away.

Had that been the case, perhaps that video would have never been broadcast and we would have never known that the "gentle giant" was a sarcastic name given to that monster.

The question arises is this: Is the account in this Fox report Officer Wilson’s or is it an eyewitness account?

I hope the race industry agitators are sued.

You know folks, there is a chance this thing was caught on someone’s cell phone. The cops confiscated the cell phones right after the episode. This could be why the rumor that Brown’s accomplice may have admitted to lying.

Just speculation, but there is a lot we don’t know yet.

I’m wondering when his pic, showing injuries, will surface. Wonder if the 0’media is working hard to prevent that.

They should be - and the News services for gassing the flames...I hate the US Media - they can’t be trusted at all to do and report the correct and right thing!
