You have no proof of what Officer Wilson's injuries were or were not. The only thing we know for sure is that he was injured and treated at the hospital. All other information reported thus far is unsubstantiated.
I am not saying he was not injured, but... if he was why did:
the autopsy report, the doctor claimed that there were no indications on Michael Brown's body of a physical struggle. Unless the doctor is quite incompetent, one would expect that this analysis included an examination of Michael's hands. If he had hit the cop so hard as to break his eye orbital, one would expect to see trauma to his hand and knuckles. No such trauma was reported.
Far from being attended to and taken to the hospital for care - things one would reasonable expect in such circumstances - officer Wilson DRIVES away in his cruiser. This is NOT something a person with an orbital fracture could do.

If both Johnson and Brown were physically engaged in an altercation it sure seems to change the dialogue of the situation. Sad that so many immediately jumped to conclusions and caused so much damage to lives, property and careers.

It is so sad that many don't listen, read and try to understand before they start guessing what the protesters want. There was a clear objective and much has been met.
The body cameras was one of the main things the protesters wanted. More minority officers was another. They wanted the officers name and to go before the jury. Also an independent investigation from the fbi and doj to investigate the Ferguson pd.
Why would the protests continue with the same fervor?
The air seems to have been let out of this case big time. They'll just let the facts about Brown slip out a little at a time. They'll also release information from Wilson a little at a time. Brown's image will collapse and the officer will become justified and all the protests and media circus will leave everyone feeling like idiots.
There will be some kind of monetary appeasement for this even if innocent, likely costing the tax payers millions. Maybe they will get a government bail-out for their collective stupidity.

Yes.....we heard.
"Who do we want"....."Wilson"...."how do we want him"?...."DEAD".
I have been thru this with my duties as a Florida National Guardsmen (Ret). What it really comes down to is someone with a beef that gets blown out of proportion. and people take to the streets for "Social Justice".
The reports leading up to with Mr. Brown is not good. I gather he is less than a model citizen.
Most of the protestors arrested were not from Ferguson (not sure about 209 of them) and actually flew in for all of the excitement. As a result these same good people burned business down. Assaulted there own and rob and looted as they will.
Of course it s ok for the sake of "Social Justice".
Then you have Holder and Sharpton causing more issues because there is a perception that they can fix things with a executive order from Obama.
The Governor of Missouri (D) did not even have a press conference and or a fly over to see what was going on. There has been some very weak leadership except from those who had to clean up the streets and maintain the rule of law.
The Missouri National Guard and Law enforcement had to deal with the short sidedness of the Obama Adminstration (as posted earlier) and the Governors Office. Firm Leadership from the Gov. Office would of minimized the whole problem.
Shame on the Residents of Ferguson for allowing all this rioting to escalate to this level, for the sake of "Social Justice". At least let the investigation run its course.
There was a Incident of a Black Office Killing a White Man in Salt Lake City. (SLC)Where is the outrage on this????
