Heads up! More Right Wing spin going around on Michael Brown shooting
It would appear that Darren Wilson has a great number of friends who are willing to share the real details of the shooting up close and personal with any Right Wing outlet that will listen to them. Any and all! (If I hear or read this one more time today..........)
As presented on Conservatives Forum
A source close to the investigation has revealed the following details.
Darren is a good man and he shot and killed Michael in self defense. After he told the young adults to get out of the street, they refused and there was a heated verbal exchange, Darren rolled ahead and pulled over and watched the two. He noticed they fit the description of two people involved in a strong armed robbery nearby that had just been called in and also looked like they may have had the stolen merchandise on them. He reversed his vehicle back to where they where to question them. When he tried to get out of his car, Michael slammed the car door back closed with his body. Upon attempting to exit his vehicle, Darren was bum rushed by Michael Brown, shoved back into the front seat of his car, punched in his face a few times and then had to fight Michael over possession of his gun. The gun was literally turned against Darren's body for a moment. During the struggle, his gun went off and then the 280 pound, 6'3" "child" took off with his friend. When the officer got out of his car and drew his gun and yelled freeze you're under arrest, Michael turned, taunting him, yelling from about 35 feet away, "what, you gonna shoot me?" and then abruptly charged the officer again. The officer unloaded on the huge YOUNG adult as he continued storming towards him until finally, he was able to stop him by shooting him in the head right when he was almost to him and his weapon. Imagine the adrenaline pumping after almost being shot in his police car and then this same large guy is sprinting at you. He thought that Michael must have been on something the way he just kept coming despite being shot many times. Hopefully, toxicology will confirm this suspicion. These are the facts-but if nothing else I beg that you at least consider these as the other side of the story. I've heard several witnesses that must keep quiet in case they are needed in court have confirmed this story and had the SAME version of events. All other "witnesses" stories have all been inconsistent with one another, some claiming he was down on his knees, others that he was running away. The truth above is the only consistent story there has been because of course, there can be only one version of the truth. I believe in my heart for it to be factually true because I know someone very well who was there. Please spread the truth. I am begging you to at least put this out as a possibility since we have ONLY heard the other's side. It explains all of the questions and it's what I was told on Sunday morning, before everyone was silenced. Please pray for Darren who was only doing his job and trying to stay alive. Or at least, please consider this as a possibility...even just a theory. I'm telling you, eventually it will all come out. This is the truth. Spread it!"

Typical RW echo chamber bullshit. Do note that although from many sources (only two pointed out here) the wording is almost exactly the same.
If I have violated any rules by mentioning another forum apologies but so be it. I am sick and tired of RW echo chamber spin. I am compleatley sick and tired that parts of this tragedy are following the exact same George Zimmerman spin.
Also sorry for the anger. I am just beginning to realize that the red tint my monitor is showing isn't it, it's me.
--------On Edit --------- 18:50 MDT
Yes folk, yet another friend of Officer Wilson has been heard from.
http://discussionist.com/101445425
Slightly different wording from another "close friend".
Just watch for the key words......
bum-rushes
Punches him in the face
Punches him in the face
Just tracking the fairy tale. Somehow I think Officer Wilson is gonna look about as bad as Zimmerman did after he heals up some.

Spread the word and the word is bum rushed
--------On Edit --------- 08/19/2014 To add the leaked injuries
Well, you knew some source(s) wishing to remain unnamed would leak this to...........
some RW blog(s) at the right time. We knew he was "bum-rushes" and "Punches him in the face" from a friend(s) and/or source(s) wishing to remain unnamed disclosure in another RW blog(s).
Good to know the police report bares this out.
Oh wait, what police report?
If the truth is ever stated in the police report, if there ever is a police report, it will be all but irreverent.
The truth that was sold (and gratefully bought) will already be urban legend.
Simply another example of how RW alternate reality is put together.
Expect pictures when the timing is right..

78. Locking. The Gateway Pundit is a RW blog and is at best a questionable source.
Not suitable for Latest Breaking News.
The Gateway Pundit is a RW propaganda source that Tokyo Rose would have given her eye teeth for during WW2. Just keeping tract of how the RW wing builds their narratives.

BREAKING REPORT: Officer Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket During Mike Brown Attack
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.

Without regard that the report of Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket given by the Gateway Pundit was proven a complete falsehood as of 09/03/3024 the RW spin machine has finaly provide pictures. Totally fake but that will not matter.

Rightwing attempting to astroturf Mike Brown Killing
I saw this post on facebook with the following comment shared by someone I know.
"This is Ferguson police officer BEFORE he shot Mike Brown. Please pass this around over and over. Think Sharpton and MSNBC will show this? That means TPC will have to start passing folks"
The comment was linked to a version of this picture.
Snip.....

With over nine years of experience as a professional rider, the Arizona native has traveled all over the world and is quick to adapt to new set ups and surroundings, meaning he has the ability to throw down tricks in new locations and in front of huge crowds just as if he was chilling back home in his yard where he learned to ride at the tender age of six.

This is just a couple of snippets:
...there were two outsiders who happened to be working outside at the apartment complex on Aug. 9 two men from a company in Jefferson County who heard a single gunshot, looked up from their work and witnessed the shooting.

That second cop that runs up at about the 3:20 mark, when the civilian approaches the body?

If that's true, the original police report would confirm it, and the police would have released it.

One of the facts in evidence is there was never a police report from Darren Wilson.
