Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye [W:142]

Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

Austriaecon is suggesting that there's no way Wilson could have fired accurately with a busted eye.

Well, considering only one or two of the shots, out of six, hit pay dirt, he may be right. Thank God for magazines that hold a lotta bullets, hey?
 
Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

One eye open presents different issues. Tunnel vision, depth perception and so on which leads to issues in actually determining if one is justified in shooting.

The physical disability of reduced visibility in one eye does not have any bearing on whether or not it was a good shoot. As i said, if your life depended on it. You could fire with one eye open

Not only that, every dept does not train with both eyes open. Its agency specific. But again. It is not relevant here

No, I am not suggesting that. I am suggesting he was trained to shoot with two eyes open and to shoot one eye "closed" would have lead to him making errors and false assumptions on distance. For example, Wilson could have seen the victim with two eyes, then drawn his weapon, closed his eye, and thought the victim was closer then the victim actually was, thus assuming he was running at him. Human eyes work better in pairs and you miss a vital piece of information when shooting with one eye and that's called DEPTH PERCEPTION.

Self defense shooting in universal by police academies. That's the point shot method and is taught to be used in a self-defense situation which if you believe this report, that's what he would have naturally done (well muscle memory). This probably explains why his shots were off because it's only suppose to be used between 1-21 ft, to use a pistol with this technique at further distance leads to higher inaccuracy.

I should also state.. this story is absolutely bull****. CNN is reporting from sources from Ferguson police department, including police chief, Darren Wilson didn't suffer a orbital fracture.

US Army Field Manual FM 3-06.11?
Wait you just seemed to suggest that it was anecdotal on your part. Some fast googling going on eh?

So you are conceding that brown was in 1-21'?

So you believe that report but not the several other news sources.

And cnn's commentator also only said his eye wasnt fractured, but still injured. And that particular commentator is not known for his objectivity
 
Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

No, he turned around and 'charged the cop" after the beating in the car and before he was shot. And it was NOT in the back as previously reported...BY THE MEDIA.

Of course! Doesn't everyone who is shot several times turn around and rush the one shooting them. :lamo
 
Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

I just had a thought... wouldn't it be nice if our 'African American' citizens could suddenly become 'American African' citizens? They're so proud of their heritage there surely could be a way to make this happen.

I agree one-hundred percent! As soon as law enforcement stops shooting them down in the streets and starts treating them better, things will be moving in that direction.

As soon as they stop committing so many crimes per capita leo's will treat them better and stop killing them. When will black people quit killing eachother?

Why do you think that is?

It's white folks fault.....and the fault of the Police too.

No one else's.

Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

That is the right question. Its easy to blame poverty. But i dont think that is the determining factor. Lots of people have been impoverished and did not resort to crime, even if they never emerged from poverty. Hell i would think most.

I think it is the destruction of the family unit in the black community that is the primary cause. Absent fathers lead youths to gamgs in order to fill the void of a father figure. Whilst a part of that they essentially ruin their lives by either being killed or maimed and racking up an extensive criminal history. The sexual promiscuity leads to more bastard children and the cycle repeats.

It takes black leaders to challenge the men to stick around, shame them for leaving. The message must be repeated as vigorously as they speak about the travesty of slavery today. They need to hear it in church, at colleges, in high schools, at work, on bill boards.

Do that and i think eventually the cycle will break

Thank you for your honesty.

It that kind of " honesty " thats made the inner city such a nice place to live.
 
Re: Breaking Report: P.O. Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture of eye sock

Ones that you would be good to study before you cast them as saying something they are not.

If you know what it means, explain it to us in your own words, and explain how Franklin's warning is consistent w/the actions of the police in Ferguson, since you believe it is.

We're waiting. . .
