Breaking: CNN Reports Darren Wilson Did Not Suffer a Fractured Eye Socket

All the left wingers are ginning up to get the policeman lynched. They take little snippets of evidence and factiods and jump wildly to predetermined conclusions while ignoring or dismissing anything that contradicts their preferred narrative. A centrist would be saying, "Let's wait for the evidence and let the legal system deal with this."

Not me, I want the truth. And I want cops to stop shooting unarmed people in the street. Funny, everyone stands up for the cops, unless it is something they don't agree with (Bundy).

Ah, hypocrisy.

that could be true.
or it could be that when the average citizen sees a criminal(fresh off his latest robbery) get in a physical altercation with a police officer and end up dead, they don't IMMEDIATELY take the side of the criminal. People would have the same reaction a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago. But in our present situation we have a large group of citizens who side with the CRIMINAL first. I personally think that is god playing a big cosmic joke on the rational thinkers.

Weren't you for the use of force against Bundy? In any case FBI stats show 12 million arrests last year and only 400 police involved shootings so can we just stop the tendency to make police look like out of control psycho's?

If your going to keep bringing Bundy into everything, you should at least include a list how "everyone" "voted" the Bundy situation compared to same "everyone" here as you keep tossing around hypocrisy.

I was for Bundy paying up. And, since he didn't after all these years, it was time to seize his property, just like they do if you don't pay your mortgage and go into default. Nothing wrong with that.

Now, laying down on a bridge with a scoped rifle pointed at LEO's is wrong, donchathink?
 
If Darren Wilson Was "Savagely Beaten," Why Did Neighbors See Him Mowing His Lawn Just a Few Days Later? - Little Green Footballs

If Darren Wilson Was “Savagely Beaten,” Why Did Neighbors See Him Mowing His Lawn Just a Few Days Later?

And a New York Times piece about Wilson adds another piece of evidence that suggests this story is being greatly exaggerated at the very least, if not completely invented, because on Tuesday, just a few days after he was supposed to have been “beaten nearly unconscious” and suffered “severe facial injuries,” Darren Wilson’s neighbors saw him casually mowing his lawn — right before he skipped town.

One neighbor said he knew Officer Wilson was on the Ferguson police force, and figured out that he might be linked to the shooting of Mr. Brown when police cars, marked and unmarked, started showing up in the neighborhood several days ago. Then on Tuesday, Officer Wilson began mowing his lawn, but “he did not finish,” said the neighbor, who wore a faded Cardinals T-shirt and camouflage shorts. “It appears they left in a hurry.”

There you have it. And what of all those on the right who ran with this as evidence that Brown was rightfully killed as the officer was fighting for his life, all while they were cautioning others to have a wait for all the facts approach?

Hey man, they only dislike jackboots on cattle ranches! :lol:
 
But the unarmed 18-year old Black man that he shot 6-times is still dead, eh?

When there are any changes on that I'd like to hear about it.

But I predict that young Black man will stay dead for a long time and the White man who killed him will move on with his life.

Just trying to state the facts here.

If anyone has any new information, they should pass it on to the prosecutor and grand jury in Ferguson.

I seem to recall during the Boston terrorist bombing incident a couple of summers ago when John King, of CNN, reported definitively that the bombers had been apprehended and then a few hours later had to walk that back. I also remember the fiasco around reporting who won the 2000 Presidential election. At one time, CNN could be trusted almost completely - not so much these days.

When still involved in the heat of a developing situation, I don't take anything as definitive until such time as I see the evidence for myself. Often that means waiting for the trial.

No, not if you don't like jackboots going after one of their own, they'd defend him to the death.

You are jumping the gun. There are now conflicting reports, all based on unnamed sources. That is far from a settled matter. Be patient for definitive reporting.

Since when has DebatePolitics.com ever been patient for difinative reporting? In the next couple days we'll probably find out Mr. Brown was actualy Asian. Who the **** knows.

He was probably using the new lawnba with a guidance system, same as a roomba, but the lawnba goes around bushes, car tires, patios, etc...

Brown's assault on Wilson doesn't have to be a bone-breaking injury for it to be a violent and dangerous assault.

It's also funny to note that you take these "eyewitness" accounts at face value, without question. There is a reason why this story is not getting much attention - it is meaningless. Absolutely meaningless. An orbital blowout fracture (whether it was swelling, or a orbital fracture) does not render you immobile and unable to perform simple tasks 3 days after the incident. The majority of blowout fractures heal without complications or long-term problems. Wilson had it treated in the hospital and more than likely iced it down to reduce swelling. Get a grip and stop pathetically grasping to unverified, loose allegations.

Um, okay doctor.
 
What is hilarious about this thread is the OP uses a source from Little Green Footballs to discredit Gateway Pundit. Now that's funny.

CNN's report of Wilson not having a fracture to his eye socket claim they verified this from UN-NAMED sources. So how in the heck does that make CNN's story any more valid?

Secondly- When the Police Chief was asked about Wilson's injuries specifically the fractured orbital bones, he responded by saying the side of Wilson's face was swollen and he was taken to the hospital to have it checked out. He offered no more information because it would be violating the officer's privacy to report on the details of his medical condition. You can bet your sweet bippy that plenty of pictures were taken of the swollen face and the medical examiner's report will be detailed and NO ONE will be privy to that information until the grand jury convenes.

Thirdly- those of you hell bent on portraying Wilson guilty on the basis of a few so called eyewitness reports, might want to think twice about that one. Seems the star witness that started all the stuff about Brown being "shot in the back", "hands up", "gunned down like an animal" has a few credibility issues when it comes to telling the truth and a history of stealing.....the same illegal activity that Johnson and Brown were engaged in just prior to Brown's death.

The frantic backtracking of a liar is always good to hear! Serves them right, but it's a shame the trouble they cause in the meantime that has to be corrected! :2mad:

Greetings, Vesper. :2wave:

Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever be completely corrected.
