#15  Answers why the officer pulled the trigger like he did. Lucky, with that injury, to to hit him at all.

#14  Just shows how crazy the cop was smacking the gentle giant with his eye-socket.

#13  Since the attack took place here on the surface and not in space, wouldn't it be a sub-orbital fracture?

#12  Of course he wasn't good at calculating responses. He was 18 years old.

#11  Wife had a more minor Orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket when a patient hit her.

Very painful with long term effects.

Seriously, if you get hit that way and that bad, it's time out on jurisprudence, you are operating at a base animal level of fear, fight, or flight. Officer Darren appears not to have taken the fear or flight paths. That suggests Mike Brown wasn't good at calculating responses.

#10  Yep, stock photo at Gateway Pundit. It's not the officer's CT scan.

A 'blowout' fracture (floor of the orbit) can be quite serious, sometimes causes blindness. Not a good thing. Never had one but am told that it is quite, quite painful.

Yep also, left facial injury should have been done by Mr. Brown's right hand. Wonder what the autopsy report says?

Surely that sneaky cop punched himself in the face to get out of this! Yeah, that's the ticket!

#7  Can this whole thing be put to rest now?

With midterms 2.5 months from now?

#5  Punched in the left cheek? That would be the right hand knuckles of puncher - any coroner mention of bloody or busted knuckles? Should at least be some bruising?

As said, a 250+lb 18 year old male doesn't need a weapon to cause damage.

#4  So what? He had a gun, and he just out and out executed that poor innocent little black boy. /sarcasm

#3  It looks like his nose was crushed to one side, too?

#2  If his eye was injured, would that explain why his shots all hit the right side of Brown's body?

#1  Expect the liberal media to take this up and present all the facts in an impartial manner.

Yes I am being facetious.
