CBS News Edited Police Body Cam Video To Mask Teen Holding A Gun Before He Was Fatally Shot
[THEFEDERALIST] CBS News deceptively cropped body camera footage that showed a 13-year-old boy holding a gun before he was fatally shot by reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
 police in March.A law enforcement officer fatally shot Adam Toledo during an encounter in response to gunshots heard on a police scanner. Police said Toledo ignored "verbal directions, fled, used significant force, and was armed with a semiautomatic pistol," which is why the officer fired.

Body cam footage released this week appears to show Toledo holding a weapon moments before he was shot, but CBS News posted a clip to its website and Twitter page that cropped out the footage showing the teen’s alleged firearm.


The CBS News article accompanying the cropped video did not directly acknowledge that Toledo was armed. Instead, the corporate media organization aired opposing claims from Eric Stillman, the law enforcement officer, who said he shot Toledo because he was "faced with a life-threatening and deadly force situation," and Toledo’s family attorney, who claimed the gun was not in the teen’s hands when Stillman fired off a shot. CBS News did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

While a semiautomatic pistol was recovered at the scene, multiple politicians such as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway...
 claimed there was "no evidence" the teen fired the weapon before he was shot. Failed Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang
...Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most of the other Dem 2020 candidates, he actually did things besides politix in his adult life, which made him political poison. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a Champion of Change and in 2015 as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the Freedom Dividend, a form of Universal Basic Income for every American over 18. Yang believes UBI is a necessary response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. The other two central elements of Yang's platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism....
 tweeted that Toledo was "unarmed" during the incident.

#1 F---ing liars.
Separately, we learn that Drill Sergeant Ientland in South Carolina wasn't 'harassing' a peaceful honor student innocently traipsing through his neighborhood. In fact the kid is a mental patient who just a few days before had been seen and reported by Sgt. Pentland's neighbors groping one of the women in the neoghborhood -- putting his hand down her shorts and his other arm around her -- and snatching a baby from a stroller.

Groping a woman and snatching a baby. In Pentland's neighborhood.

And he's supposed to stand idly by when this dangerous freak comes back to the neighborhood?

So now we're to be prosecuted for refusing to be cucks?

Fight or flight time in this country

When such deliberate editing efforts are made,
KNOWING FULL WELL, it will incite Deadly Violence.

So SHOULDN'T the Media be held $$$M Libel for taking active steps in planning and creating misleading NEWS?

Because such steps must be done knowing it will increase Advertising Revenues, and result in more steered and created news for more profits?

#4 Maybe the only answer is to require video editing equipment to visibly watermark all video put through it as EDITED diagonally across the screen. Yes, I'm sure the software companies and users will understand that's needed. For public safety and such...

#5 Remember when NBC edited George Zimmerman's 911 call. These deceiving MSM vermin...and they get away with it time & time again.

#6 It's a free speech issue. MSBS [Mainstream BS] gets to say anything they wish and suffer no consequences from their lies. An alternate stream is greatly needed. Any links to the unedited video would be helpful here.

#7 I remember Dan Rather's Microsoft Word edition of a fake bit of military correspondence created for the occasion of one of W's election campaigns. Hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous date and year.

#10 Let's not forget NBC and their exploding Chevy pickup trucks story where they added explosive squibs for dramatic effect.

Gosh, I'm starting to see the vague hint of a pattern here.

#11 New Times Roman font or some such absurdity on that Dubya memo.

#12 From the Wikipedia article on the 2004 Dan Rather forgeries:
a document expert, Peter Tytell, who concluded the documents used by CBS were produced using current word processing technology.[130]

Tytell concluded ... that (i) the relevant portion of the Superscript Exemplar was produced on an Olympia manual typewriter, (ii) the Killian documents were not produced on an Olympia manual typewriter and (iii) the Killian documents were produced on a computer in Times New Roman typestyle [and that] the Killian documents were not produced on a typewriter in the early 1970s and therefore were not authentic.
