Unarmed teen Michael Brown was fatally shot by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9, but the circumstances leading up to his death remain unclear. Though Ferguson police have said that Wilson's face was injured in an altercation with Brown moments before the shooting, Wilson has yet to come forward and speak publicly.

On Tuesday, Chicago firefighter Kevin O'Grady shared a Facebook photo he claimed showed a injured Wilson in the hospital after the incident. As it turned out, the man pictured is not Darren Wilson, but that didn't stop the image from going viral.

1. Pulling a Zimmerman..fake injuries to support a lie

2. The city just makes things worse by not releasing the story.

Was the cop injured? How was he injured? Was he NOT injured? Why cant we know this? It doesnt hinder ANY investigation, IMO, to tell the damn story. NOT telling it just lets rumors grow and fester. Idiots

3. They never filed an incident report. Well, after a month they filed a blank one. Pretty telling.

4. There is a Kevin O'Grady who is

a firefighter disciplined for racial taunting in 1998. I wonder if it is the same person.

The firefighter alleged that O'Grady and Sampson would blow cigar smoke at him and once threw a water balloon at him while he was watching television.

O'Grady and Stirn, a supervisor, also "were dancing around me like Indians, calling themselves wild Indians," the firefighter says in the complaint.

5. The photo was debunked two days ago

old news story.

6. It's much easier for Wilson's defense if neither he nor the City release a version of events.

He can't be cross-examined for discrepancies if he gives no version. The police and the City are lined up behind him, not investigating him.

7. In my mind that just makes him look all the more guilty.

Especially since he skipped town. And the no investigation part is astounding and sickening. What kind of racket they must have going over there to be able to not have an investigation of any sort.

9. Cops prove the advise….

never talk to the cops. You have the right to remain silent, so use it. If the cops don't have your side of the story, they have nothing to go on until they hear it at trial. Then it is too late to build a case against what ever you claim then. It almost always works. Pay attention.
