San Diego Tribune edited BP shooting video.

I just viewed the video of the BP shooting at the link posted by Ladycalif. It was edited in an obvious attempt to portray it as a bad shooting.

The text portion put in by the Tribune stated the rock thrower was an illegal immigrant. He wasn't an immigrant. He was a smuggler. The agent attempted to apprehend the criminal when he tried to leave the canal. He fought with the agent and then ran towards the marked unit. Somewhere in between the canal and the truck he picked up a rock. This was edited out.

At one point the camera pans away from the agent towards the border fence where you can see six smugglers hurling rocks at the agent. This was edited out.

What the cameras don't show you is that the agents were trapped south of the All American Canal with multiple rock throwers south of the fence. For a better understanding of the terrain go to Google Earth coords:32deg 39.45 min 07 sec/115deg 32 min 47sec.

Don’t know this story. Was the perp who was shot about to throw a rock at the vehicle? Looks that way. Was he killed?

Looks to me like the scumbag was trying to brain him with a rock.

I don't know where he intended to throw the rock. Like you said, it appears in the video he was about to throw it at the vehicle. If you look closely at the vid you can see shadowy movement in the driver's side window. I believe there was an agent in the vehicle that was about to be hit.

Wow, the Lamestream Media, aka the Dinosaur Media creating a “fake, but accurate” video document. I can’t believe it. They have editors, they have gatekeepers, they have fact-checkers. They can’t make it up, they’re objective and non-partisan. By definition, they define for us, what the “News” is. Anything is illegitimate.

Nothing less would be expected from the SDUT.

Not only is SD a sanctuary city but ever since Helen Copely retired and turned the paper over to her wortless son it has gone downhill to the point it’s just as bad as the L.A. Times, a liberal propaganda publication, in all areas , not just illegals.

They inject just enough of a smattering of conservative viewpoints on minor issues to not lose the conservative readers that make up over 60% of the population base.

The video link from the San Diego Tribune is http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/audiovideo/070420border.wmv.

Are both of these links edited versions or only the one from the Tribune?

Technically I guess they are both edited, however the clip from btfh.net shows relevant footage. The SDUT edited the footage that was leaked, taking out the fight with the smuggler and the rocking by the smugglers on the southside.

Here is another version... it looks the same as btfh.net, but without the seal of the Border Patrol and the audio enhancements. The btfh version seems to be the best quality.

At the very beginning of the video, before the rifle shot, it looks like there are 3 agents there... one gets into the passenger side of the BP Truck in the front while another agent appears to be getting out of the truck as the camera pans southward and it disappears on the screen. When it pans pack, there is only the one agent on the screen.
