Officer doesn’t appear hurt in police video

Newly released video of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson taken in the hours after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown and audio recordings of police radio traffic secured and published this weekend by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch have provided new insight into the day of the shooting.

The St. Louis newspaper’s analysis of the police radio traffic suggests that the audio sheds light on Wilson’s interaction with Brown, while the video images, taken by surveillance cameras at Ferguson Police Department headquarters, led the Brown family attorneys to question reports of Wilson’s alleged injuries.

The first video, taken by surveillance cameras at the Ferguson Police Department, shows Wilson leaving the building after the shooting with several other men identified by the newspaper as other officers and his attorney.

The other video shows Wilson and the men returning to the department headquarters. The St. Louis newspaper reports that Wilson left to go to the hospital and returned two hours later.

Some of Wilson’s supporters have said he was seriously injured in the altercation with Brown. The video released this weekend shows Wilson moving normally but does not provide a close view of his face.

Attorneys representing Michael Brown’s family issued a statement Saturday in which they said the new video undermines claims from Wilson supporters that the officer was severely beaten by Brown.

The account also includes new details, compiled through an analysis of police radio traffic, about Wilson’s interactions with other officers before and after the shooting.
