I heard a guy last night being interviewed - he said he can't confirm it, but he had heard from sources that the cop is still in the hospital with a broken eye socket. I'd heard previously, it was a broken nose. An
Eye Socket Fracture (Fracture of the Orbit) is a very serious injury. It can cause double vision, decreased vision or blurry vision, and difficulty looking up, down, right or left. If MB was coming at him, the cop absolutely did not want to take another blow of any sort to the face with either that eye socket or broken nose injury and he knew if MB got to him, that was going to happen. If it was a fractured eye socket, the 4 shots that were off mass could have been because he wasn't seeing so well & as MB got closer, he was able to hit him with shots that stopped him. Frankly, if it was the eye socket injury, I would imagine the cop was fairly desperate to keep MB (all 300 lbs of 'gentle giant') off of him.

I wonder if we'll see confirmation of the extent of his injuries any time soon.

The press has sympathy for criminals. They should tell both sides...
