CBS splices gun in Adam Toledo’s hand out of police shooting video

Mainstream media is utter garbage. That's it. That's the message.

The entire purpose of a free press is to allow the truth to come out. In modern day America, mainstream media works against this notion and proactively works to subvert the truth with their reporting. In the case of CBS News coverage of the police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, the dishonesty on their part is striking.

They intentionally edited out the part of the video that shows a gun in Toledo’s hand just prior to being shot. We know it was intentional because the rest of the video edit kept Toledo in best view, but the split second in which the gun can be seen, they conveniently pulled the edit to the left to keep him hidden before panning back to show him getting shot.

Based on the video, many on both sides of the political aisle were outraged at what appears to be a teen boy stopping and raising his hands as ordered before getting shot. But the gun in his hand a split second before adds brand new context that makes the split second decision more understandable, though clearly still wrong on the police officer’s part.

Social media was outraged by CBS News’ editing:

Ryan Saavedra said, “This video is deceptively edited and cuts out the portion of the police officer’s body camera footage that showed that the suspect was holding a gun.”

Brodie’sBurner said, “Regardless of how anyone feels about this shooting. Right or wrong. Justified or not. EVERYONE should be outraged that it was purposefully edited to elicit a desired response from us. If we don’t wake up to what they’re doing, we’re gonna tear ourselves apart. Smarten TF up.”

I told how CBS had faked an AK-47 shot and a watermelon exploding. Actually the AK only punched holes in the watermelon. They had to use a special exploding bullet from a different firearm to make the melon explode.

ABC also faked a handoff of a briefcase to Russian spies, and NBC faked a truck wreck to show how unsafe they were.

Good question. No cussing, no vile jokes. But suddenly it is gone.

“Out in the middle of the night committing a felony (having an illegal gun) with a 21 year old.”

His job was to hold the gun for the 21-year-old because as a juvenile he won’t be subject to the same jail time as an adult.

Not an opinion likely to get much traction here

Remember when NBC edited George Zimmerman’s 911 call to make him sound racist? The MSM is not to be trusted. Ever.

CBS has a long-standing history of fabricating news. They fabricated out of whole cloth a children’s civil rights protest just before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there was another staged event in Vietnam, and others I am sure the folks on FR will remind me of.
