The other is why not disclose this, waiting and watching your city burn for over a week....makes absolutely no sense at all.
What would you expect him to do? He may have been adrenalized? What,,leave the area? Clump down in a heap? He didn’t know who or what was around and he was probably in pain and trying to stay calm. Orbital blowout fractures usually occur internally, because the small thin bones that support the orbit are the ones that usually crack or give way. Just because he was standing doesn’t mean he wasn’t injured. He may have been in shock.
Different people have different pain thresholds. I once got wiped out skiing and shattered my right should (”jigsaw fracture”). Ski patrol did not secure me properly and I got dumped down the ski run. They ran up to me and said if I was OK. I literally laughed. Thought I was nuts or in shock. I was neither. Just said, “what else can I do.”
I am allergic to all OTC pain killers and do not like the prescription ones, so I have learned how to sublimate all but the most severe pain such as post-OP. It can be done.
The injury isn’t immediately known.
HIPAA may not have allowed this to be disclosed. And - as with other evidence - Eric Holder may have been telling people not to disclose even records they could disclose, because doing so would anger the ferals. Showing that the “victim” beat somebody up was immediately called “character assassination”, after all, when the strong-arm robbery was finally disclosed against Holder’s urging...

Could it be that some people wanted this to happen so that the rest of the U.S. and the world could see the animalistic behavior of the protestors/looters?
I agree with the second point, but thats the media and feds. The cop standing near they body might not show much. Other than swelling the damage is not readily apparent without an x-ray at least at first. But the retina at the back of the eye is part of the brain. So a fragment of bone from one of these fractures has only a few millimeters to go to penetrate the brain. The risk of infection and vision loss is significant. Also remember adrenaline does weird things to the body. One can be pretty badly injured and able to function for a time on pure adrenaline.
