I wouldn't make too much of that at this point for many reasons. It's from anonymous sources and on a site which as a clear point of view on this shooting. Also Brown's autopsy does not mention any injuries to his hand. If he punched someone that hard there would probably be something to indicate that. Another thing is there is cell phone video of the scene immediately after the shooting (a different video from the one with the hidden conversation,). It shows Wilson and another officer standing next to the body talking right after the shooting. It's several minutes long and while you can't see Brown's face well enough to look for injuries, he in no way acts one someone with an orbital fractures. He's just standing there talking, I think he's walking around at one point but he doesn't touch his face or do anything that would make you think he had any serious injury. The other officer also does nothing which would indicate Wilson had an injury that concerned him.
I know the original source but that's not where I got the information.
We can't automatically discount a news source because we think they're slanted. They are all slanted and therefore using that logic, none of them can be trusted. My husband and I get news from our local station, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. As was posted previously, you have to watch several in order to get something resembling the truth.
