If it went down as the officer and other witnesses are saying this was a righteous shoot if I were on the jury.
The problem has been, all along, that the race-baiters and the out of town thugs have hampered the ability of authorities to do a complete and thorough investigation. Eventually, the facts will solve this and the cop is exonerated.
Not sure about life-threatening, but it can definitely lead to the loss of the eye.
He punched himself afterward to make it look like self defense. /s
or perhaps the giant tried to play the knockout game
Because the ptb wanted to set the narrative first. THANK GOD some locals went rogue and released the video of the robbery/assault and now about the officer's injuries.
Blacks and their enablers have been played. Was it supposed to be a way to take attention away from the hordes of Central Americans enabled to invade the US?
Has any government ever before in history deliberately destroyed its own nation?
What are common causes of blowout fractures?
...fists, and elbows.
The gentle giant wasn’t so gentle.
Uh. You are wrong. The floor and medial wall of the orbit is paper thin ( lamina papyracea in Latin). That’s what breaks in an orbital floor blowout fracture. The only way it might be fatal is if you got an infection that tracked into the CNS.
Now any blow to the head, in the right circumstance could lead to an intracranial hemorrhage. But that’s not directly associated with an orbital blow out fx.
A brain concussion is totally different from an orbital blowout. Even so, I never heard of someone being killed by a concussion alone.
Gents, I'm not really sure what point this is about. If someone or something hits you hard enough there to break the bone, you have been hit very hard indeed. That event can kill you. In practical terms, the cheekbone is massive, the brow is massive, and if someone has managed to break into that shark cage and break the orbital, you're in big trouble for a lot of reasons. It doesn't matter if your death is directly associated with the orbital break or not. The concussion you may get from the blow itself could be enough to kill you; the force to the back of your head if you fall down could be enough.
Meanwhile, the very fact that something between the fist and your brain is breaking and thereby absorbing shock could actually reduce the force reaching your brain case. But even so, it's often not enough, because people often die from these events. The knock-out "game" comes to mind.
This is part of why obammy isn’t running hard with this thing. He has to say something or his base will crucify him.... but he knows the bottom line here.
Look here’s why you are wrong. The reason the orbital floor fractures is because the eye is liquid and nor compressible. Putting pressure on the eyeball with a fist can cause that paper thin bone to fracture . You don’t have to break through the cheek or brow ridge to do it. I’ve seen literally dozens of blow out fractures in my 30 years of ER practice, and very rarely are they associated with a significant concussion. One good punch to the eye can do it.
I’ve never heard of anyone dying from an orbital blowout. The blowout is ordinarily into the frontal or maxillary sinus space. Traumatic optic neuropathy is certainly a possibility whenever concussive forces become concentrated at the orbital apex and trap the optic nerve. But no one has ever died from a TON to my knowledge. I’m just asking for some evidence of someone ever dying from an orbital fracture because that claim was made here.
Y’all are just answering a different question, that’s all.
