the tv station and/or individual employees have probably already destroyed any photographic evidence they possessed, that contradicts the ‘security guard was just defending himself’ story...

There’s plenty of other video/photos out there showing what went on. ‘Tig’ Tiegen, Benghazi hero, was there & has some really good footage.

Michelle Malkin: Media-political assassination in Denver should be a national outrage
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/10/14/michelle-malkin-media-political-assassination-in-denver-should-be-a-national-outrage-984350

Note: description of what happened in link, not video.

One man who answered the call to “stand up and show up” didn’t make it home. From my close analysis of footage and interviews with witnesses, it appears the tragedy was engineered.

As the last group of “Patriot Muster” attendees walked to their cars, the same agitator who accosted Stockham and others also initiated a verbal altercation with 49-year-old Lee Keltner. A cheerful cowboy hat maker, veteran, and father of two from Brighton, Colorado, his mission was “keeping the West alive, one hat at a time.” While Keltner was trailed by the Black militant agitator, a Trump-hating Occupy Denver radical named Matthew Dolloff and a local NBC affiliate investigative producer for Denver’s 9News named Zack Newman conferred with each other nearby. At some point, Dolloff handed his cellphone to Newman.

Minutes later, photographers and videographers filmed the agitator aggressively daring Keltner to deploy a can of bear spray he was holding to protect himself as Dolloff and Newman stood by. Keltner resisted engaging in any physical brawl as the agitator escalated. Mere seconds later, he walked away from the agitator only to walk right into what appears to be a deadly ambush with Dolloff. In an instant, Dolloff appeared to grab for something on Keltner’s chest (his holstered weapon?) while Keltner slapped at his face. Dolloff then whipped out a gun and blew off Keltner’s face as the veteran backed away, spraying his repellant in self-defense.

Newman gawked at the entire melee with two phones in his hand. But photos showed him, bizarrely, (SET ITAL)not(END ITAL) filming the shooting despite being there on assignment for 9News.

Dolloff has been detained under investigation for first-degree murder. Newman was held, and then released. Here’s where it gets weirder and darker. 9News initially identified Dolloff as an armed private security guard contracted through Pinkerton security services. Turns out that he was unlicensed and operating as a security guard illegally in Denver. Pinkerton denied Dolloff was an employee and refuses to name the company, if one exists, that subcontracted Dolloff out. Newman did not respond to my questions about the exact nature of his relationship with Dolloff or how many previous times Dolloff had been his “security guard” at left-wing protests and riots over the past year.

Unanswered questions are piling up:

You know, when I watched it, there seemed to be a jump to me...right to the point of the guy reaching to draw his weapon to the next frame where there was a cloud of yellow spray.

I just assumed it all happened so fast that the victim saw him draw his gun, and they both sprayed/fired at the same time.

Is there any proof that frames were withheld, because your post was the first I heard of that, but if that happened, it would fit what I saw (and ignored) the very first time I saw the stop action frames.

I suspected this all along. The police kept the two demonstrations apart from each other - so there was no "news." The 9 News crew and Denver Post photog were using the Antifa guy to instigate a fight so they'd have something to film. What they didn't anticipate was that their unlicensed, untrained, far left wingnut, so-called security guard would go bonkers and start shooting.

As far as I'm concerned the whole bunch is to blame. Right now, they are being covered by the cone of silence that the Denver media have imposed to protect their buddies.

There was mention of specific numbered frames that were missing from the news photographers 9NEWS article gallery in that gap...must be in the image meta-data .

can’t recall source at this time...would havevto wade through about 20+ bookmarked videos

There's an October 13 article over at RedState ("Photographer for Denver Post Who Captured Murder at Pro-Trump Rally May Have Some Issues") that includes the following:

In looking at the metadata on those images, one thing I noted is that in three sequences following the shot, the camera is recording 10 frames per second.

The sequence 880-889 are all captured at 3:36:55 PM

The sequence 890-899 are all captured at 3:36:56 PM

The sequence 900-909 are all captured at 3:36:57 PM

That is 30 images captured in 3 seconds, at a steady rate of 10 fps.

But if you go to the images before these, you see fewer than 10 images being captured per second:

Image 867 begins the capture at 3:36:53. But that sequence includes only 7 images — not 10 — and ends with Dolloff having his right hand on the handle of his firearm, but not having yet removed it from his waistband.

Image 874 begins the capture at 3:36:54 — the image with Dolloff having just fired the round. But that sequenced includes only 6 images — not 10.

As I said on Twitter, I’m not a user of a high-end digital camera like the one Richardson was using. But it sure seems odd to me that the camera consistently captured 10 frames per second in the 3 seconds starting at 3:36:55, but only 6 and 7 images per second in the two seconds prior to that when Dolloff was drawing his weapon and killing Keltner.

There was movement by both individuals in between images 873 and 874 which is not reflected in the photos that the Denver Post has released. That movement will demonstrate whether Dolloff drew his firearm in response to the action by Keltner with the mace canister — or he drew it before, and any movement by Keltner with the mace canister was in response to Dolloff pulling his handgun.

Maybe there is no photo that captures that movement. But by having originally withheld two photos in the sequence, Richardson and the Denver Post have lost the benefit of the doubt.

So, looks like the photographer (a Denver Post employee, rather than a tv news employee) may be withholding some critical frames - which is why the simulated video seems to "jump". The photo (from a cell phone video?) at the 'Independent Sentinal' article shows Dolloff with his handgun raised, but NO pepper spray in the air...

If that is true, there is indeed monkey business going on.

These systems are very consistent. No way there are going to be "dropped frames" during acquisition. No way. Modern systems just don't have it happen in the way that I am aware of.

Thanks, that is great info. I am going to find that article.

Sure looks like it - even if they just wanted to generate a fist fight for the evening news, it would probably have been a criminal conspiracy. And the unlicensed 'security guard' was sure packing more than a baton or pepper spray; the way he acted, they may have been hoping for body bags...

If you look at the picture you can see the victim isn’t even responding to the shooter... but attempting to spray the agitator... he looking passed the guy that shot him.

Rolloff looks like he weighs about 150 pounds. Who hires an unarmed security man that small?

Some articles seem to suggest that he was hired because he's an Occupy/Antifa type, like "Mr. BGM" and the lefty 'fake newsers' he was supposedly protecting...

Good point about the Police Chief marching with the perpetrators.

It is pretty obvious that the “security” was hired to start something that could be on the news. Now you can’t really write agitator on your expense report so you just call them “security”.

“Yep, this was a stalking ambush premeditated murder, with intent to hoax authorities and Frame the victim.”

IMO this makes the media fair game.

They are enemy combatants, and should be dealt with as such.
