Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source
Fox News ^ | August 20, 2014 | Hollie McKay

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,........

Which I think means it’s only Officer Wilson account as filed in a police report.

They don’t even want that. They want more free stuff. Just like with GZ and Saint Tray, Crump wants an arrest so he can sue for damages. No arrest, no damages. Before Crump got involved, they wanted the officer’s name. Now, they want an arrest.

In this day and time when everyone is running around with a cell phone camera it is interesting that nothing has surfaced. Could it be that it is out there, but will be detrimental to the “Gentle Giant” were it to be released?

The article states that Wilson is terrified of a grand jury making an example of him.

It wouldn’t be this way if Missouri’s Governor would do the right thing. But that sick POS is bent on following the demonic,lying Democratic agenda in order to please his handlers.

Not really. What I have already observed in dummyville:

- Wilson paid somebody to beat him up, just like in a Dirty Harry movie

- One of the cops guarding the body for 6 hours was Wilson, and he didn’t look hurt.

- Even if he was attacked, Wilson should have just shot Brown in the leg to stop him.

You can’t fix stupid.

If the source’s narrative helped Brown’s case, THE MEDIA WOULD ALREADY HAVE GIVEN US EVERY DETAIL. But since it doesn’t..

If this had turned out differently and brown (little ‘b’ no further respect for him or his supporters) had killed Officer Wilson and brown was arrested would Ferguson residents, of the black community, have rioted and looted demanding brown’s release from custody? Would al and jessie show up and claim it was justifiable that brown killed Officer Wilson? Appears as could be, no matter the result. Besides what does the Ferguson community, al and jessie want if not to justify a death? Blood is smelled, in the water, and blood is what they want (imho).

“It’s tribalism. It’s not about facts.”

You know, when I went to Kenya on vacation, I asked a tour guide what issues were important to the people for elections. He said it was just based on the tribes the politicians were from, and not any real issues.

The left will just accuse Wilson of beating himself..just like they did with George Zimmerman

...Bob Beckel will go on ‘the Five’, and sneer at the cop and his manhood because he couldn’t stand a little ‘cuffing around’ just like he did with Zimmerman...

You think they used the felony murder rule as leverage against Browns partner to tell the truth? There are rumors floating around that he racanted his original statement.

How many minority members will wake up and realized that they were played by media, a governor, black race whores and a DC administration that wanted an issue?

The rather large subculture within those minorities don't give two sh*ts about whether they were played by the media. They follow their leaders, and what their leaders say is gospel to them.

That’s why liberals simply cannot be mistaken for being Americans. They don’t live, act, think or reason like most Americans do. Their brains just aren’t wired for rational thought.

but this case will hinge on whether Brown charged Wilson after the first encounter.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of suicide by cop. Brown had drugs in his system, and knew he would most likely see prison time for the strong-arm robbery and assault & battery of a cop, so he said what the heck and went running at the cop for the final encounter. Suicide by cop. The cop had no recourse but to shoot to save his own skin. Cop was dazed by the beatdown received prior, and kept firing until threat stopped.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital..."

Nope. Won't wash. No paramedics means no injuries. Period. Cops were walking around the body freely for three hours, it wasn't a dangerous mob situation at the time requiring police evacuation of the shooter. If he was hurt, a paramedic would have been called and would have been seen on-site.

This whole thing stinks. The pep was a thug who attacked a cop. But the cops are walking around pointing loaded rifles at people and cursing them. Either this is the crudest psyop ever made to create riots, or the stupidest police force in the country.
