I want to make sure after yesterday’s post that everyone knows it’s still in dispute whether Wilson’s eye socket was actually fractured in his altercation with Michael Brown.
What’s apparently not in dispute is that Wilson somehow emerged from the incident with part of his face swollen.
Reports that Ofc Darren Wilson had a bruised or fractured eye socket are false. #ferguson A source close to the investigation tells CNN

Wilson was taken to the hospital after the shooting. He had xrays which came back negative. He was treated for a swollen face. #ferguson

The extent of the injury matters insofar as the worse it is, the stronger Wilson’s defense will be that he reasonably feared serious injury from Brown when he allegedly charged at him. But it probably doesn’t matter that much: Obviously, the complexion of a case in which an unarmed man is shot dead changes if the defendant was attacked just moments before, especially if that attack involved going for the defendant’s gun. If the victim’s intent to harm is proved, establishing that Wilson’s fear of Brown was reasonable, then he’s one-third of the way to self-defense. He’d also have to show that Brown was advancing on him, a claim the prosecution will try to disprove, and further that Brown was so dangerous that Wilson was justified in using lethal force in bringing him down. Not an easy task given that Brown had no weapon of his own, but then that’s why the injury is important.

There is a massive black information divide on this story. The black radio stations are pushing the regular lefty narrative.
Did CNN get the Exclusive right from Holder ?
Hurt his eye (still had the other one), and his trigger finger wasn’t torn off.
“Somehow”, according to the article, he got a swollen face. I guess anything could have happened.
A black eye.

Nailed it!
If you are 6’2” and 292 lbs....you are a walking around weapon. That si why the NFL calls a penalty when a similar sized man slams the quarterback after he has already thrown the ball.
Somehow, according to the article, he got a swollen face. I guess anything could have happened.
Mosquito Bite ?
Bottom line the scum wanted the officer to take the beating and be shot to death with his own gun. The scum would celebrate that “the cop got what he deserved.”
Most likely some ragweed allergy............sarc
RE: If you are 62 and 292 lbs....
Make that 6’4”
serious enough that the Docs treating the eye had ot do an x ray.
Thanks CNN for confirming that the cop was attacked by saint Mike
What an uninformed comment. I was shot thru the abdomen with a 45 cal hollow point. One inch below my navel then exited below my buttocks. I then returned fire with a 12 Ga. in a hall way at a distance of 12 feet.
Trust me that was worse than a poke in the eye.
He could and should have put six into the bad guy. The thing the officer and I have in common is that we are still able to tell our Grandchildren about the incident.
The scumbags are saying that the officer did it to himself.

>> I would imagine only one eye was hurt/ in pain...
Yup, the claim involves an eye socket, not sockets.
CNN loves to fill in the blanks for their news.
Too bad, anger doesn’t turn on them as well as the other media outlets.
bttt
So who at the hospital will be reprimanded and fined for revealing patient information to an outside source? Or does CNN not care about patient confidentiality?
Only the ones who have the misfortune of being at an American airport departure gate.....
“The officer accidentally discharged his gun in a panic when he saw a black kid. The surprise of the gunshot caused him to smash his face into the car window.
Then Michael Brown tried to surrender and the rest is history.”
