Officer Suffered Severe Eye Socket Fracture In Altercation With Michael Brown – “…More Than A Dozen Witnesses Have Corroborated Cop’s Version of Events…” – Reports
B. Christopher Agee / Western Journalism
As rioters continue to wreak havoc on Ferguson, Mo. in the wake of a police shooting that killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, facts continue to surface that cast doubt on the assertions being made by many of the violent protesters.
On Monday, results from two separate autopsies showed that Brown was shot multiple times from the front, contradicting some allegations that the black man was shot in the back by white police officer Darren Wilson.
The teen’s friend, Dorian Johnson, with whom he was suspected of robbing a convenience store just prior to the interaction with police, said Brown appeared to have “jerked as if he was hit from behind, and he turned around and put his hands up.”
The validity of his entire testimony has been called into question as more details emerge regarding the altercation that precipitated the shooting.
A narrative that Brown cooperated with Wilson and was shot while surrendering has permeated much of the protest that is now well into its second week. Police reports, however, paint a much different picture of the events leading up to Brown’s death.
Local authorities confirm that the suspect was combative and attempted to take Wilson’s gun after being stopped on the street. Reports indicate that the officer was treated for serious facial injuries as a result of the altercation.
Those covering the story report that multiple witnesses verify the officer’s account.
