sidewalk and one more blow would have rendered him a vegetable the rest of his life. But 30 minutes later he shows up at the police station with no apparent serious injury. One close-up I saw it appeared he may have had a small band-aid on his head. It would seem to me he would have severe swelling on his head by that time after having his head beat aginst concrete.

I thought his wounds were so grievous that he should have had stitches! Wasn't that the "party line" up to the release of that arrest video? Amazing how a head wound (and we know how they bleed) miraculously ~~healed!~~ in a scant half hour! Same deal with the "broken, bloodied" nose--amazing how he had no swelling, no bruising around the eyes, no spatter of blood on his shirt--it's a miracle, I tell ya, a miracle! And those teflon clothes that guy had on! They apparently ensure that no grass or dirt stains, no moisture, no blood will stick to one's clothing--a real miracle fabric, that, too!

If one more blow would have made him a vegetable he'd have been rushed to the hospital not looking like he did on video 30 minutes later
