THAT IS NOT OFFICER WILSON ! Please delete fake photo.
Who is that?
It is not officer Wilson - it is some motocross guy after an accident - 2011 iirc. Other photos of Wilson do show some swelling and redness.
I thought it was Darren Wilson but, as it turns out, it may not be him. Regardless, the extent of the punishing injuries inflicted by the so-called “Gentle Giant” on Wilson were indeed severe. That photo was e-mailed to me by a deacon at my church.
That is Jim McNeil...a since deceased motocross rider.

Sorry, looks like my friend and deacon was mistaken. He was the one who told me about Free Republic on 9/16/01, in the aftermath of 9/11. He’s a good man, in his 80’s and is trustworthy but may have slipped up a bit on this.
Where’s the “blown out eye socket?”
NP...there are actual photos of Officer Wilson’s injuries that were released by the grand jury/prosecutor today. http://apps.stlpublicradio.org/ferguson-project/evidence.html
Face contusions described here: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370726-darren-wilson-medical-records.html
I haven’t found the photos of his face on the official site yet.
There was bo ‘blown out eye socket’ !
Facial bruise. See pictures.
I have spent the last few hours reading each of these witness statements. I have a fairly clear picture of what happened.
There is no dispute that Brown attacked officer Wilson while he was seated in his patrol car. Shots were fired during the struggle, after which Brown ran away, officer Wilson in pursuit, weapon drawn, yelling at Brown to stop several times. At some distance, Brown stopped and turned towards officer Wilson. Brown made some motions with his hands, not raised in surrender, but more like to inspect them, and to look over his body for injury from the shot fired within the police vehicle. He was in fact grazed on the thumb at close range, most likely while grasping the gun itself. At this point he moved forward towards officer Wilson, hands near his ribcage. Wilson fired 3 shots at Brown, striking him. Brown stopped his approach briefly. He then continued his approach towards Wilson. Wilson fired several more shots, the last shot striking brown on the top of his head as he fell forward.
He doesn’t really look seriously injured. ?
I read somewhere that he had a broken eye socket?
I’m certainly NOT implying that he was in the wrong to shoot. Wrestling and punching a cop in his patrol car while attempting to grab his gun is pretty far over the line.
Wilson probably saved more lives than his own that day. He likely saved a few future victims of this ‘gentle giant’.
All those fake pics and rumors abut the cop were spread around - just as the bogus stories about the thug’s getting shot execution style- to try to agitate both sides , black and white.
That was the fraudulent claim that went with the bad picture.
