So Darren Wilson claimed he was punched THREE times in the face, not twice

Beating a horse at this point i know but I just realized something today arguing with a teanutbag. I kept asking why wilson showed no damage to the face after claiming he was punched twice in the face and afraid a third would kill him.

And then i went and re-read what he said about the punches. And came across this bit of information that I'm not sure anyone anywhere ever mentioned.

First off the two punches...

'Wilson directed Brown to move back, and when he tried to exit the police car Brown again slammed the door shut, he testified. Brown punched Wilson twice in the head, the officer testified, adding that he felt a third hit could end his life. "I felt that another one of those punches in my face could knock me out or worse. A third [punch] could be fatal if he hit me right," said Wilson.'

ok so far two and a threat of a third possible killing blow. at this point, two blasts to the head so hard he feared death from a third. thats where i thought the story ended. how did wilson have no damage from two punches?

then i found this...


'Then the police officer described how Brown grasped Wilson gun and twisted it down towards Wilson's leg. A struggle ensued, but Wilson was eventually able to wriggle the pistol free and he fired one shot at Brown.

Brown then stepped back, but then "had the most intense aggressive face ... it looks like a demon, that's how angry he looked," said Wilson. The 300-pounder then came at Wilson again and struck him, the officer claimed and at that point he fired another shot.'



two shots in the car, forensics confirms that. But thats a third blast to the face. The one he feared would come. It came according to wilson. I didnt realize that.


so now we are talking about wilson showing no damage from THREE blasts not just two.




the odds that a person sitting in an suv unable to roll his body flail his arms in defense, looking right at someones fists inches from them, and a 300 pound person who winds up and full blasts you once maybe twice maybe slightly missing a third in the struggle, right in the face, and you end up having ZERO damage to your face, have got to be about slim to none.

when i showed the teanutbag what i had found, that we were talking 3 punches not just 2 anymore, he quickly moved on to something else lol.

and did he throw all the punches with the same hand? at one point both sides agree that brown has cigs in his hand and gives them to his buddy and then goes back to struggle with the cop. not sure which hands are doing what.
