Prosecutor Bob McCulloch said that some witnesses said Brown had punched Wilson, and McCulloch said that Wilson had some swelling and redness on his face.

  1. Oh well, that settles it. Of course he was justified in using lethal force on an unarmed young man who was a safe distance away and in the process of surrendering. (Sarc off).

    We give the Police Departments in our country WAY too much power.

    So, there is some redness on his face. Doesn’t look like he was engaged in a “fight for his life” to me.

  3. Golly, his eye socket sure looks fractured to me! (Yes, I did see that debunked canard trotted out on Twitter this evening.)

  4. I sustained a red abrasion to my right cheek while shaving this morning.

    Shot that razor twelve times.

  5. I thought he was beaten to a bloody pulp… sorry that was Zimmerman ohwell… white man police vs black men white man always wins with or without a gun.
