To #4: There was at least one photograph published of the injuries to the officer’s face and it showed serious injuries all around it. (Assuming that this is a real photo and not a photoshopped one).
Need to see if it reappears after the grand jury acquits Officer Wilson. Don’t know who owns the photo and if they have official authority to release it.
Something to watch for.
I worked in a big city ER for many years.As a result I can assure you a) that the cop received some sort of medical care at some point after the incident (perhaps in an ER..perhaps elsewhere) and b) that photos were taken by the cops and/or the physician that was consulted.
If it’s the photo that was widely reposted, there was a disclaimer in the original article that it was not Wilsons actual xray.
It was stock photo being used as an example of what an orbital fracture looks like
“There was at least one photograph published of the injuries to the officer’s face”
There was a pic of an Australian “extreme sports” athlete who faceplanted, and was presented as being a photo of the policeman. Not photoshopped but misrepresented.
Need to see if it reappears after the grand jury acquits Officer Wilson. Don’t know who owns the photo and if they have official authority to release it.

I seem to recall that it was the policeman who drove Wilson to the hospital that took the pictures.
