Several right-leaning personalities posted a bogus photo claiming to be the "injured Darren Wilson" before he shot unarmed Ferguson teen, Michael Brown.

On Tuesday, a photo that was supposedly Darren Wilson with a broken eye socket was posted on Facebook and was immediately debunked several minutes after it went viral.

"Why aren't the media releasing the photos of Police Officer Darren Wilson's injuries after he was assaulted by 'the unarmed black teenager'?" the photo's caption stated adding that Wilson was 'punched in the face' before he shot the 18-year-old Ferguson teen.

Simultaneously, another microblogger known as 'Six' in Twitter had posted the same photo describing it as "what the 'Gentle Giant' thug did to officer Nelson" but was later removed.

'Six' was identified in the website LittleGreenFootballs.com as 'another right winger' and 'a horrifically racist cretin.'

After two days, the viral 'injury photo' was posted yet again by right-leaning radio host Larry Elder at his website on Thursday.

However, About.com David Emery clarified that the photo posted was actually taken in 2006, showing an injured motocross driver known as Jim McNeil.

This was later confirmed in a report from the Huffington Post, citing the injured man in the viral photo as a motocross rider who died in a crash in 2011 while he was practicing at the Texas Motor Speedway.

The report had even posted a photo comparison of the allegedly injured Darren Wilson, as well as a photo leaked over the Internet when the Ferguson cop was first identified as Brown's shooter.

Though the two men barely have any resemblance at all, the photo posted on Facebook was shared over 50,000 times by Thursday.

Some even believed the photo to be admissible as evidence to prove that Michael Brown did attack the police officer, thereby justifying the shots that Wilson had fired at the unarmed teen.
