Yep, the cops are circling the wagons, refusing to release their autopsy results or anything detrimental, and using anonymous proxies to feed falsehoods to the media.
"Blow out an eye socket" vs video of the cop standing nonchalantly at the crime scene not showing any visible or behavioral signs of a vicious beating or a blown out eye socket.
Were you there?
Isn't there a presumption of innocence in our legal system? Why are you and so many others convicting the officer without knowing the facts?
There are enough known facts (the robbery, Brown and his friend disrupting traffic by walking down the middle of the street and causing a ruckus) to call into question the "eyewitness" testimony of friends of Brown, and which also would make understandable the officers fear for his own life. Brown was not a small "boy" as we could see from the store video, where he roughed up the owner.
Also, the officers injuries could not have been self inflicted, as some are trying to assert. I think the officers account is far more credible. This kid was a thug. Period. He was no "choir boy."
You simply don't get it. If the police force needs a certain type of employee and those people in their local area are not applying, then its their problem to solve.......recruiting people you want working for you is not catering to anyone. That's how all businesses operate.
The very nature of recruiting is seeking out the type of candidates you want as an employer.
I won't attempt to talk to logic with you for an extended period of time, but the fact is, many of the "Black" locals can't pass a background check to get on the police force in Ferguson, Missouri. Officer Wilson was doing his job to get someone obstructing traffic out of the street (so he didn't risk getting run over) and was confronted by a violent human being with a massive attitude. He suffered great facial injuries before shooting and killing Michael Brown. Do me a favor and stop acting like Michael Brown was a good guy who was unjustly killed because he wasn't.

Where is the evidence of this great facial injuries the right wing Gateway Pundit blog?
Having been in the position to have hired people my experience is that the work ethic has changed. It doesn't have the same commitment that it did a generation ago. The employer commitment has changed as well.
Hmmm, CNN reports no eye injury to policeman who killed Brown.
That's not what CNN is reporting.
They're saying that an unconfirmed source said that it wasn't fractured - but there was still injury.
Another unconfirmed source said it WAS fractured.
We'll have to wait and see.
