annnd in other news a black father beats his black 5 year old unarmed son until he is nearly dead. They can't find his mother. The 5 year old is in intensive care. No one is protesting, looting or rioting. Nobody seems to care about the kid.


So have we determined if McRib is back yet or not?

From early on they are taught that police are bad. So naturally they believe they are being messed with for being black.

Supposedly "Solid Proof" that Brown went for Wilson's gun...

The only thing I can think that would make it solid would be DNA/Fingerprints on it

Also, problem with this account as it contradicts the Friends and Chiefs account that the second interaction was about the robbery.


quote:

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, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family.

Darren Wilson doesn't look like he's bleeding or black and blue from the video tapes right after the video

He's standing up right and is protecting the scene of the crime.

Why haven't they released photos of his evidence then? The world has seen his picture all ready

I would say pics of the cops face shown asap after the incident may have kept things from escalating.

Yeah, it will turn colors and swell in less than 30 min.

It's the same with Zimmerman.. why didn't the pics of his bashed up head come out sooner?

Body cams, please.

The video isn't even that close up... And he wouldn't be bleeding unless he was gashed or broke his nose, neither of which are reported. Also, he wouldn't necessarily bruise immediately after.

No reason to speculate on that. The pics and hospital report will come out soon enough and put it to rest.

Must be because everyone in Ferguson seems to be hanging out at the local McDonald's all of a sudden. It has to be because of the McRib...Unless... McDonald's is using Ferguson as a test market for Chicken and Waffles.

I like when media posted pics of Zimmerman, but whitened his head area, so he looked 100% fine.

U find actual shot, and you see the gash and blood.


they have no shame, none at all

exactly...any pic of the officer was within minutes of the altercation. regardless, there was no close up of his face in any video/pics surfacing on the internet so I don't think one can speculate either way about the officers face.

If the officer is acquitted and it turns out that Brown not only robbed the store, but also beat up the cop before being shot, then any message that the protesters were trying to make will be greatly lost and many whites will see this as a "boy crying wolf" situation. What a messed up situation...
