As rioters took to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri to protest the killing of Michael Brown, another group rallied in support of officer Darren Wilson. Some people have even donated to a fund to help his family relocate.

In the days since police in Ferguson, Mo., named Darren Wilson as the officer who shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown, a small, quiet counter-protest, taking place mostly online, has arisen far from the angry, noisy nightly protests roiling Ferguson.
Two Facebook groups, both supporting Wilson, have appeared. Between them, they had more than 36,500 "Likes" as of early Tuesday. Supporters also created a GoFundMe.com group aimed at raising $100,000 for Wilson's family. "We stand behind Officer Darren Wilson and his family during this trying time in their lives," a statement on the site said. One donor, who identified herself as Nancy Lawson, pledged $20 and wrote, "Thank you, officer Wilson, for risking your life so we can live in a safe world. I am praying for you."

The site's administrators said they ultimately disabled comments on the site in an attempt "to stop the negative comments." As of Tuesday, four days after police identified Wilson as the officer involved in the Aug. 9 shooting, about 500 donors had pledged nearly $20,500.
On Facebook, a commenter who identified himself as Mike Allgire said, "As a retired police officer, I would have shot him also." Allgire added, "The police are not out there to see who can wipe who, but to keep the peace. With a person the size of Mr. Brown, there is no doubt I would have taken the same action. Police officer's have an old saying; 'I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by six.' "

Where's the God damn drug test on that cop?

this asshole cop started all this shit with his 'training'....and likely his drug use.

[SeanTX]

Poor Officer Wilson. Maybe it will turn out that he was "justified" in shooting Brown in self-defense, but there is still the question of if he continued shooting after Brown had given up. And just because no bullets struck him from behind that doesn't mean that he wasn't fired at while running away (some shots missed I believe). We've seen plenty of examples of police doing street executions on people who have given up, have hands up, are handcuffed, etc.

And there have been like a half dozen or so people in the past year who have managed to shoot themselves while in the back of a squad car, after being searched and handcuffed behind the back. Of course, I'm sure they were all "double-jointed" , and thus able to pull a gun out of their asses to shoot themselves (funny how they always shoot themselves, but never the police).

So, I don't feel sorry for poor Officer Wilson. The police have created a big sense of mistrust among many people, so people are going to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and jump to conclusions when there is even a hint of possible misconduct .

They did this to themselves.

[Brian4Liberty]

Unless this officer is convicted as a sacrifice for all of the sins of law enforcement and to appease the mobs, he will be found not guilty of any crime they try to charge him with.

We have his side of the story already via his friend, we have a video from the scene with audio that agrees that Brown was advancing on the officer, and we have autopsies that only show front entry wounds. Officer safety, following procedure, etc, combined with reasonable doubt gaurantees acquittal.

That's my prediction based on the info we have today.

pretty sure you won't hear about any drug test on that cop.

Omitting a key piece of evidence...

BUT...we know Brown likes booze and weed.

rendering any acquittal for Wilson a typical cover-up and sham. The beat goes on.

no justice, no peace...indeed.

And the cop's defense attorney would say that it was adrenaline, that it was the heat of battle due to being hit by and struggling with Brown, that he had tunnel vision, and was following procedure when it comes to a charging and violent person.

That's how it will work out. And the burden of proof will be on the prosecutor.

My guess is that the supporters could be a "legitimate" group of law enforcement, their families, fervent supporters (like Hannity or Levin), and of course, this woman:

A car door slamming is just as likely to break your face as somebody punching you. If you aggressively open a car door on a person and--let's say--you ram that person's shin, then a possible reaction is to shove that car door right back on you. It would not even take somebody the size of Brown to shove a door that hard and do that kind of damage to someone's eye.

Police quickly and assertively get out their cars all the time, even when somebody is just mouthing off to them.

Ferguson Cop Had 'Serious Facial Injury,' Source Tells ABC News

FERGUSON, Missouri — Aug 20, 2014, 2:15 PM ET

The Ferguson (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/ferguson-missouri.htm) police officer who shot and killed an unarmed teenager suffered “a serious facial injury” in the altercation before firing the fatal shots, according to a source close to the officer who spoke to ABC News today.

Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/20/missouri-cop-was-badly-beaten-before-shooting-michael-brown-says-source/)


Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”

This seems bizarre to me. Why have they waited so long to disclose this information if it was true?

[twomp]

If you are at any major sporting event say the super bowl, world series, nba final, nhl finals etc... if someone throws a bottle, how long do you think it takes before that person gets caught and thrown in jail? Do you see security tear gas the entire stadium if someone throws a bottle or does something stupid?

Why then is it okay in your eyes for EVERYONE protesting to be labeled a "hoodrat" because a handful of people decide to throw rocks and break windows?

Do you believe in collective punishment? If you break my window, it's okay for me to beat up your family?

[JustinTime]

I don't think you know the meaning of the phrase.

Sure I do, its when someone concedes the original point and comes up with some other theory.

You're doing it and this entire sad affair is full of people doing it daily. Now that we know for certain the cop suffered injuries to his face, the goalposts get moved and the new excuse is "Whale, urh... the cop prolly hit hisself widduh car door, ummm yeah thats it."

And if we could prove that the injury was because of Brown punching him, you'll move them again, it'll be "Brown was allowed to punch him because he knew the cop was gonna shoot him!" or something.

[RandallFan]

This cop will be more popular than Zimmerman. He'll probably raise 1 million.

This case was a bad case to use. A suspected robber and people looting(targeting Asians and shoving Indians) in the streets.

There's no war on drugs angle.

Cops should be arresting people for robbery and looting. If there ever was a case for militarized police, Joe Sixpack would point to Ferguson.

[outspoken]

I wonder what P.Ditty or Nelly would do or have their bodyguards do if some 300 lb. dude punched them in the face so hard they fractured their orbit then charged at them looking for more action? This case is a mockery in terms of trying to bring light to justice and police brutality. I am sorry to say but this is nothing more than a punk with a pension for violence that got exactly what he bargained for. There is nothing to indicate that there is any reason to waste tax payer dollars pursuing criminal charges against an officer that used justifiable force.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

I wonder what P.Ditty or Nelly would do or have their bodyguards do if some 300 lb. dude punched them in the face so hard they fractured their orbit...

I wonder what people would do if they actually had to reason based on facts. There is nothing officially public regarding Wilson's eye socket. There is nothing officially public indicating that Brown punched Wilson in the face.

Brown pushed the door back on Wilson and Wilson hit his head on the steering wheel. Brown actually bitched slapped Wilson, resulting in a swollen lip.

See I can make up stuff too.

Everyone should have seen this coming.

We all know how the Propoganda Department is used to control peoples perceptions of a situation. The powers that be always want more control and less resistance to that control. This is an attempt to get people to validate the actions of an abusive govt that does not hold its enforcers responsible for excesses of enforcement. What they want more than anything else is for large groups of people to run around mindlessly chanting "A Police State is Okay!" and get them to surrender everything by being in favor of Despotism. And this is HOW they achieve that goal.

He was a "community activist" (whatever that means) on Chicago's south side before making the move to U.S. Senate. He used this demographic to get elected.

I wonder what P.Ditty or Nelly would do or have their bodyguards do if some 300 lb. dude punched them in the face so hard they fractured their orbit then charged at them looking for more action? This case is a mockery in terms of trying to bring light to justice and police brutality.

Has P. Diddy ever called out his business partner Mark Wahlberg?

At 15, civil action was filed against Wahlberg for his involvement in two separate incidents of harassing African-American children (the first some siblings and the second a group of black school children on a field trip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_trip)), by throwing rocks and shouting racial epithets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithets).[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg#cite_note-elder-11) At 16, Wahlberg approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious while yelling a racial epithet. That same day, he also attacked another Vietnamese man, blinding him in one eye.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg#cite_note-elder-11)[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg#cite_note-12)[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg#cite_note-13)

This cop will be more popular than Zimmerman. He'll probably raise 1 million.

This case was a bad case to use.

It was the perfect case for the media and the race charlatans.

[Henry Rogue]

Unless this officer is convicted as a sacrifice for all of the sins of law enforcement and to appease the mobs, he will be found not guilty of any crime they try to charge him with.

We have his side of the story already via his friend, we have a video from the scene with audio that agrees that Brown was advancing on the officer, and we have autopsies that only show front entry wounds. Officer safety, following procedure, etc, combined with reasonable doubt gaurantees acquittal.

That's my prediction based on the info we have today.
I must have missed that thread. Do you have a link for that video?
Never mind, I looked it up on the Internet. Not an actual video of the shooting, just people talking while recording.

He didn't seem like he was "beaten very severely" in the videos I've seen of him in the street after he killed Brown. He looked as cool as a cucumber to me.

There's no question that Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon's insistence on a "vigorous prosecution" is disturbing, as it implies a legal process directed by political expediency rather than rational deliberation. But beyond the above account's reliance on a single anonymous source, the actions of the Ferguson and St. Louis County cops are a bit tough to square.

If Darren Wilson was badly injured in the incident, why not disclose that sooner (and openly)?

Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/20/missouri-cop-was-badly-beaten-before-shooting-michael-brown-says-source/)


Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”


This seems bizarre to me. Why have they waited so long to disclose this information if it was true?

If I was "nearly beaten unconscious", I wouldn't be walking back and forth on the road next to Brown's dead body following being attacked. If I suffered "severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture", I'd probably be holding the injured side of my face and asking for ice. From the video, Wilson does neither-- he walks back and forth, converses with another officer, and doesn't appear to be in any type of pain:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F-ba5KwP_A

It's possible there was a tussle between Wilson and Brown. However, imho, the "severity" of Wilson's "injuries" are either being vastly exaggerated in these new accounts by the press, or entirely prefabricated.

It's possible he isn't feeling pain due to adrenaline.

[Brian4Liberty]

And the cop's defense attorney would say that it was adrenaline, that it was the heat of battle due to being hit by and struggling with Brown, that he had tunnel vision, and was following procedure when it comes to a charging and violent person.

That's how it will work out. And the burden of proof will be on the prosecutor.

And that is the story going around now with the revelation of the orbital sock injury. Someone on TV even said that he was temporarily unconscious. Of course that is nonsense, as someone who comes out of unconsciousness rarely continues any fight. Just getting punched does send the adrenaline through the roof though.


It's possible he isn't feeling pain due to adrenaline.

Quite possible, even very likely.

EXCLUSIVE: Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

Even assuming all of this is true it does not matter when it comes to the officer shooting Brown.
[...]
Here's the problem -- whether it's a good shoot or manslaughter (at best) turns entirely on whether Brown was actively assaulting the officer when he was shot because the legal justification to shoot him for the previous assault ended when that assault terminated.

My issue with the claim that it was a good shoot predicated on the above is the following:
How could Brown have heard a command to stop when his ears were, seconds before, a few inches from a weapon that discharged in a confined space with no hearing protection? I don't recommend you try reproducing this on your own, by the way. If the "command" was in fact shots fired at his back (which Brown could hear, deafened or not, and of course if he was hit in the hand, which is possible from a ballistics perspective, he'd feel that).....

The evidence does not support that Brown went for the officer's gun and it discharged during said altercation. Specifically, there was no evidence of powder residue anywhere on Brown, including his hands. I assume for the moment there is physical evidence of a discharge in the vehicle (somewhere in the vehicle there is a hole from the inside out, etc.) -- but to assert that Brown caused the discharge or was within inches of the weapon when it happened should have deposited evidence of same on his body, and that evidence is missing.

Show me the ballistics and geometric solution that allows an average-height man to shoot a 6'4" guy, who is roughly 6" taller than the officer, in the head and face with the known angles of entry and (for the shot to the eye) exit while that man is on his feet, charging or not. He did not fall to his knees while charging as the autopsy showed no abrasions on his knees or legs -- inescapable injuries if you are charging someone, are shot, and fall forward on pavement. The only abrasion injury was a very light and flat-forward impact injury to Brown's face consistent with a face-first fall from a stationary position. He thus could not have suffered the fatal shots in a scenario where he is hit superficially in the arm or hand, falls to his knees while running and thus presents the necessary angle for the last two rounds to go into his head that are being fired at an actively-charging suspect.
You have to get past these facts that get in the way of the claims in the Fox News story, and you have to do it with physical facts, not supposition, because the physical evidence released to date points the other way.

If you can do that then the shoot was good and I'll change my mind; anyone, including this officer, is within his rights to shoot a man that is at that instant in time presents a credible threat of assault to do great bodily harm or worse, and Brown, according to this story, had demonstrated his ability to do exactly that.

But if you can't get past the above problems with objective evidence the officer needs to charged with and convicted of either Manslaughter or Murder 2.

This making its way around the net:

"Police officer did not have a broken eye socket."

Just saw a CNN report that sources close to the investigation confirm, no broken or fractured eye socket or orbital blowout occurred.

This would conflict earlier reports such as this one that talked about the specific injury.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kxIaAFPiB4

The clarification that no serious injury to his eye comes on the heels of another video coming out showing Darren Wilson after the event talking with another officer, while not appearing to be in great pain, of course this is all speculation. What is worth noting is that the media's "sources close to the investigation" are beginning to conflict with each other in terms of the actual report given by the officer the day or days after the event occurred and specific facts of what happened to the officer himself. It also seems now that earlier reports from the St. Louis Dispatch about a dozen or so witnesses corroborating the officer's story is false and those statements have been walked back as mentioned in the above video.

Care to elaborate?

Even if he was in the right using deadly force in this one instance, I'm sure he's violated plenty of citizen's rights, "put lumps" on people for the hell of it, popped a few dogs for looking at him funny, etc. All that goes with being a cop -- there are no "good" ones.

[Brett85]

It seems like this really isn't good for the anti police state movement, as this is appearing to be a rare example of the police killing in self defense. There are countless examples all around the country of instances where the police didn't kill in self defense, including killing pets, and those instances are never mentioned in the media. It just happens that the one event that actually ends up being a big deal and gets covered by the media ends up being an instance where the police officer most likely didn't do anything wrong.

It seems bit different case than Miriam Carey shooting with infamous congressional standing ovation.

But all key facts are not known still.

In terms of the behavior of the police department, those facts are in and they are extremely ugly.

Is anyone going to be charged in the tear gas attack on the Al-Jazeera film crew? Anyone going to be charged for the false arrest of the WaPo reporters? Is Officer GoFyourself going to be charged with brandishing and making threats?

I think we all know the answers to those questions. The problem remains the same - the law does not apply to the police, they refuse to enforce the law against their own members while going balls-to-the-wall, comply-or-die, with respect to everyone else - black, white or other.

2:45 mark of CNN video:
"They easily could of easily given(the police) these videos as well, because they confiscated my phone(video recording)."

There you go... this is all about 'protecting the state' and their racketeering profit centers. Also the lies perpetrated about officer "6 Shot" injuries were all to drum up sympathy and cash. Then next hurdle, of many, will be the corrupt organized crime syndicate aka District Attorney, then the rigged grand jury, then the rigged jurors, then the rigged judge, and then the rigged verdict.

It's like every other city and town in America today, "JUST-US".

Darren Wilson should kiss the race hustlers and mainstream media for making him a very rich man. Meanwhile, barely even a care was made about the Utah man that was shot.

[SeanTX]

He didn't seem like he was "beaten very severely" in the videos I've seen of him in the street after he killed Brown. He looked as cool as a cucumber to me.



THIS. If he had been just been horribly beaten, in fear of his life, etc. do you really think he'd be hanging out and casually strolling about admiring his kill, with dozens of angry people gathering? And with plenty of other officers already on the scene?

If I had just been seriously injured in a life and death struggle, I wouldn't be hanging around waiting for it to happen again.

Most officers expect to have their boo boos treated right away, like the Fullerton cops who wanted their scraped fists attended to as soon as EMS arrived, while Kelly Thomas was drowning in his own blood just a few feet away.

Though I've heard some people comment that Officer Wilson's behavior afterwards may have been due to "adrenalin kicking in" -- who knows. For now it's all just speculation, like so many other things in this case ...
