According to an unidentified source who is close to police department leaders, Ferguson, Mo., cop Darren Wilson suffered facial injuries and was beaten to near unconsciousness.
Ferguson, Mo., Police Officer Darren Wilson reportedly suffered severe facial injuries from being beaten up before he shot and killed unarmed teen Michael Brown, a new report from an unidentified source claims, Fox News reports.
The source, who Fox said was close to Ferguson Police Department leaders, told the news network that Wilson suffered severe facial injuries which included an eye socket fracture, and was also beaten to the point that he almost lost consciousness.
The assistant [police] chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side, the source claimed. He was beaten very severely.
Video footage, taken at the scene shortly after the shooting, showed Wilson pacing around Browns body. He did not appear to be nursing any wounds as he walked (a witness narrates at 2:01 in the video below).

(3,813 posts)Even the Diane Rehm show this morning allowed those lies to go unchallenged.
Diane had a basically sensible panel commenting on Ferguson this morning. But late in the show, when some clearly white (by their accents and speech patterns) and clearly racist (by their words) callers cited the alleged 'blown out eye socket,' not one panelist mentioned this video footage. Meanwhile, Diane just about fell over herself in a rush to state that deadly force from a police officer CAN be justified at times (Really Diane? No shit. Good thing you are here to inform us NPR listeners).

(20,166 posts)There should've been bruising, swelling, possibly scratches around his knuckles if he beat Wilson that hard.

what happens when a lie is told is that another lie has to be told to cover the first one and then another, and another and another on into eternity.
You only have to tell the truth once.
