Never-before-seen video of Officer Darren Wilson on the night he shot unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., contradict police testimony, according to Brown’s family.
The video shows Wilson leave for the hospital a few hours after he shot Brown fatally, an incident that sparked weeks of protests and at times violent clashes with heavily armed police. It also started a nationwide discussion on the treatment of black people by the police.
The police department leaked information that Wilson had been severely beaten and suffered an orbital eye socket “blowout,” which suggested that the shooting was justified, but the video released indicated the “initial description of his injuries were exaggerated,” according to a statement from Brown’s family as quoted by ABC News.
Wilson claimed that he shot Brown in self-defense after Brown tried to grab at his gun and they wrestled in the police car. Brown’s family and some eyewitnesses claim that Wilson shot him after he already surrendered.
The video shows the 28-year-old Wilson leave the police station without assistant along with another officer and a police union lawyer two hours after the shooting.
In what could be a key piece of evidence, audio tapes do not show Wilson making a connection between Brown and a convenience store robbery that police say Brown was involved in earlier.
Dispatch calls obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch indicated that Wilson asked other units if they needed help locating a robbery suspect. A few minutes later, an officer asked for help controlling the scene where Brown would eventually be shot. The officer said more units were needed as “there’s going to be a problem.”
Brown was ultimately shot six times by Wilson, which sparked weeks of protests and even incidents of looting within the outraged community of Ferguson, which is near St. Louis.
Wilson has since been suspended with pay and has stayed in hiding. A state grand jury is examining whether to press criminal charges against Wilson, with a decision expected sometime this month.
Actually we’ve heard absolutely nothing at all from Wilson.
They also said Zimmerman was not injured based on his video.
Only blacks can be trusted to be truthful.
When I’ve had bad injuries, the vivid black eyes, bruises, and swelling, didn’t appear until many hours or even a day later.
Yeah Wilson has been silent...leaks have suggested he had eye damage, but not at all sure that was Wilson.
It's hard to say.
As I understand it, the entire Brown family are medical professionals so-o-o-o-o-o.......
This is like people who complained about the single assault weapon carried by the thugs at Columbine but ignored the 99 bombs they also carried. In the case of Michael Brown and the MSM, they fixate on how much Officer Wilson appears to be or not be injured and ignore the fact that his service firearm was discharged twice during a struggle. Who in his right mind attempts to gain control of a police officer’s weapon? Certainly not a person with peaceful intent.
I’m sorry, but I can’t let it go. Comments like yours can and are be easily used to thoroughly discredit Free Republic.
But maybe it’s your intent to discredit FR.
I don’t care HOW badly he was, or wasn’t injured! That’s not the issue. The fact is, he WAS injured and he was also bum rushed by the same thug. You DON’T push a police officer into his car, assault him, and try to take his gun. You don’t do any ONE of those things, let alone all of them!
Attempt to blind a cop and take his weapon, your ticket gets punched, not because you be blak, but because you be a thug,
The Giant Thug asked for it.
You can’t tell much of anything from that video. Also, he was not wearing his uniform shirt, which I assume they took into evidence, possibly because it had blood on it.
Officer Wilson is lucky to be alive.
The violent giant.
He needs to come to Texas, some department will gladly hire him.
