OF THE
TIMES
For those who believe 10 gunshot wounds from a Sig Sauer P229 semi-automatic pistol were what it took to down unarmed Michael Brown, here's the medical rundown of both his and Darren Wilson's wounds:On the surface, Ferguson may be about complicated mixture of racial issues, community organized crime, civil service corruption, predation and retaliation. But it goes deeper and wider than that. The bigger picture is the ever-encroaching total authoritarian control of The American Police State. Ferguson is a test run - a profile to be studied, perfected and ultimately unleashed. We are not in Kansas anymore. Welcome to purgatory.
M.B. Gunshot wounds: top of head, forehead right side of chest, right side of chest near the armpit, through and through upper right arm, through and through right forearm, graze/abrasion upper right arm, right interior thumb.
M.B. Abrasions: inside left forearm, right hip, left thumb, left wrist, right front shoulder, forehead, bottom lip.
M.B. Damage caused by a bullet to his right eye and what looked like an exit wound on his right facial cheek.
M.B. Doctors removed one bullet from Brown's head, one from his right lateral back, and one from his posterior chest.
DW: red marks on his face, blood (not his) on his hand, uniform disheveled and shirt pockets open.
"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process."
Comment: Unusual? You can't get away with this kind of sloppiness and disregard for procedure in a crumby TV show! The fans would be all over it. It will be interesting to see how these revelations play out on the stage of real life. Wilson washed the blood off his hands because it was getting sticky? Huh? Blood has a tendency to dry. He washed it off to remove evidence KNOWING it was Michael Brown's blood and he was the cause for the bloodshed and to protect himself, not the investigation. (Remember that the extent of Wilson's wounds was red marks on his face. Nothing else.) And the rest of it...well, it seems like the PTB that helped cook the situation to the frenzy it has become, calculated in the police "oops" factor when picking their target location. Nothing like a freebie to parlay negativity, emboldening and entrenching opposing sides to up the ante. More reaction. More chaos. More data on how America reacts to stimuli. Shame on us if we let this slide by!
