Officer Darren Wilson Suffered “Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket” During Mike Brown Attack
Gateway Pundit ^ | 19 Aug 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/19/2014 8:22:57 AM PDT by mandaladon

The Gateway Pundit can now confirm from two local St. Louis sources that police Officer Darren Wilson suffered facial fractures during his confrontation with deceased 18 year-old Michael Brown. Officer Wilson clearly feared for his life during the incident that led to the shooting death of Brown. This was after Michael Brown and his accomplice Dorian Johnson robbed a local Ferguson convenience store.

Local St. Louis sources said Wilson suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket.” This comes from a source within the District Attorney’s office and confirmed by the St. Louis County Police.

Like a couple have already said. They are probably private messaging each other waiting for their next moment to come on and spout more left wing garbage.

Someone told me Uncle Chip got banned , but I;m guessing the others are waiting in the shadows for their next moment, just like when we have a warm winter storm and the libs spout global warming and then disappear when the weather turns cold. Hard to tell people global warming when 5 ft of snow has fallen. Maybe that is why they called climate change instead, the crafty libs

These are the pictures posted in the Daily Mail. They're taken from a phone video taken by Piaget Crenshaw from her apartment:

Daily Mail

The photo of Wilson at the bottom of the page (next to Brown's), is taken from when he received a police commendation back in February:

Yahoo News

From the video photos, I'd be hard-pressed to figure out who those officers are. The video is very blurred, and any injuries to either one of their faces wouldn't be apparent. Not sure if there's any other photos out there that are clearer. These photos are immediately after the incident, and any injuries may not even be visible yet, ie., black and bluing.

Absolutely. With sensible compression, full-HD 24/7/365 video can fit on a 1TB drive for $50. Cell-phone style cameras are tiny. I’m surprised nobody is making a minuscule clip-on one that you just have to insert a small battery and 64GB MicroSD card in, letting you record continuously for a month and costing $1/day to run.

Why waste your first shot shooting at the legs? Doesn’t make any sense.Some situations that may be your only chance.

Better than nothing. Hence the term I used: LAST DITCH EFFORT....your goal is not to shoot legs, it is to get rounds downrange quick and in an emergency because in a firefight firepower usually wins.

We are talking about <1% of firefights where this method is used mind you. It is about as rare as training to chamber your semi-automatic with your teeth/feet because you are greivously wounded and you need to reload and charge your firearm or clear an FTE/FTF. Tactics: Know them, train them, use them.

Want to watch a badass? Google "Instructor Zero". Great CCW and tactical pistol/cqb/lde instructor.

People these days seem to get their info of how real life happens from the media, instead of the other way around. IE, in movies no one would swim away with minimal injuries after being attacked simultaneously by two great white sharks, but IRL, that exact thing happened to Shannon Ainslee in South Africa.

Yes. That is why it is ridiculous for politicians to tell you what size magazine you need.

AND NEVER, EVER DO YOU shoot "to kill". You shoot to live. Only shoot enought to stop the threat. Reload, re-evaluate, when safe call the police. And yes, the DO will ask you if you shot to kill. Your answer is, "No, I shot to live...... .....and "I was in fear for my life, that person tried to kill me, had to shoot in order to preserve my life (or an innocent 3rd party) ....and I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR INVESTIGATION OFFICER, BUY MY CHEST HURTS, I CANT BREATH, I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND I WILL MAKE ALL FURTHER STATEMENTS WITH MY ATTORNEY PRESENT!"

I'm getting ready to take a CCW class. I hope I remember this if I'm not told. Great advice! Thanks!

Ferguson protesters were pumping their fists and chanting:

“Black Power!”....

Chris Hayes from FOX Channel 2 in St. Louis reported the chants ‘changed’ from, ....“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” to “Hands Up, Fight Back!”

At least it can gather fragments of an event, and lots of audio, enough to establish much of an incident’s timeline. In this case, it would have at least recorded the perp walking down the center of the street, and much of the ensuing conversation/yelling/screaming/shooting audio.

Hemispherical video wouldn’t be hard to add, capturing 360 degree. Complicated to view, and subject to annoying distortions, but again enough to establish much of what happened and strongly exclude other imputed story lines.

“Tactics: Know them, train them, use them. “

For each his own. I am NEVER going to practice getting my first shot at the legs.

What many have trouble comprehending is that, often, “shoot to wound” and “shoot to kill” overlap. Not like there’s clear dividing lines for the regions.
