In reply to the discussion: Strong Evidence That Brown Was Executed [View all]MoleyRusselsWart
(101 posts)50. Yup, that's exactly
What I was thinking. It looks like all Wilson had was some swelling, my guess the result of a flailing elbow or something during the struggle as you stated.
I don't know if you've seen the video of Wilson seconds after the shooting, but that is not a man with a serious eye injury. He's casually talking to another officer, pacing pack and forth, never once even touches his face, no visible marks or blood.
I've been playing and reffing hockey for 25 years, so I too have seen my share of people who have taken a punch to the eye/face. This guy definitely didn't suffer any serious eye injury.

If the evidence backed the officer's story, we would probably have it by now.

This article does a pretty good job of summing up the witness statements made about this case.
