And if his injuries were not so bad, why are certain media outlets using
descriptives like "severely"? Either he was severely beaten or he wasn't.

Now which is it, he shot Brown in the head TWICE because he maintained good control of his firearm.
What happened to shooting at center mass
Oh BS I have a HD computer screen and his face and clothes are fuzzy when magnified many times over.

No way in hell from that pic could you tell anything about facial injuries.

Also that picture has been altered because Big Mike's head is pixelated WAY out of focus.

She didn't say whether the last 6 shots were shot from inside or outside of the vehicle and she was almost hyperventilating.
Ok, her hyperventilating and excitement explains why her interview in no way matches the other witnesses.

No other witness claimed Wilson shot Brown 6 times After Brown was on the ground, nor that the cop was shooting from the car.

This witness won't see the light of day when formal proceedings begin.

Look at the video as well. He does not once bring his hand up to his eye area.

Michael Brown Shooting Witness: 'I Knew This Was Not Right' (Video) - TheWrap

I had a latch to a metal gate smack me in my eye socket, after a dog jumped up when I was letting
him out, and I didn't have a fracture but the bones were badly contused. It pulsated and hurt so bad
I was holding my hand up to my eye socket to put pressure on it, because it felt like my eye
ball was ready to fall out.

His clothing is totally in tact and he's walking back and forth without difficulty.
He does not appear to be "severely beaten" to me.

I meant thinking, because aside from "hospital records" there usually are signs of an
altercation, e.g. rumpled clothes, hair, cuts, bruising, and not just on the police officer but
possibly on the victim as well.

If folks have access to that video/pic, they would be thinking the same as me. "Wow, he appears
to be fine."

His actions are consistent with shock. freqently people don't discover their own injuries until much later.

That's the point, if the hospital records show that he's got a fracture, then its good evidence that he was in shock. In Iraq I saw someone missing half their arm walking around, acting like they were completely alright. The whole thing about being in shock is that you don't really feel pain, that you simply are in a blur, entirely consistent with someone walking back and forth after a shooting, looking like they are in a daze.



Why wouldn't his clothing be intact if he got punched in the face? Are you under the impression that punches reverberate to tear clothing all the way down to someone's socks?

Obviously you've got to point out the obvious to some folks.

The officer was not in a car accident. I've had an eye injury. It is a pretty immediate feeling. The only shock he was possibly feeling is that he just killed an unarmed man.

I am telling you after an initial eye injury, your reaction to put your hand up there for pressure,
is as automatic as scratching a mosquito bite.

I give up. Seriously, you must live in your own little world, oblivious to anything anyone else says.

They need you over in the "rubber bullet" thread to clarify a picture for them
