CBS News is facing heat over a video the network shared on Twitter Thursday that critics say crops out a critical part of body camera footage showing the police chase that led to 13-year-old Adam Toledo's death in Chicago last month.
Extremely graphic footage shows a Chicago police officer pulling up to a location on the city's West Side on March 29 and immediately encountering two people, one of whom appears to be Toledo, running away from the area.
Toledo stops for a moment before he turns toward the officer, at which point the cop tells him to, "Show me your f------ hands."
Also shown in the footage is a brief glimpse of Toledo holding a gun, which he apparently discarded an instant before the fatal shot was fired.
CBS News, however, tweeted a video formatted for mobile devices. As a result, both sides of the bodycam footage were cropped and the image of Toledo holding the gun was omitted.
"Newly released bodycam footage shows Chicago police chasing and fatally shooting 13-year-old Adam Toledo, as he appeared to comply with orders to raise his hands," CBS News tweeted with a warning about the "graphic and disturbing content."

CBS should be censored by the FCC.
The Media scumbags are deliberately inciting riots and slandering law enforcement.
Li’l Homicide... was that his nic?
Not to mention, all the pictures that have been out there of him, seem to be from when he was about 8 years old, IMO.
Typical. Still remember how CBS edited the Kent State video to create the illusion that the Guard fired on harmless protestors.
Local news had showed the unedited footage including the rioters charging the Guard. Was shocked to see what ran on the six o’clock news.
Started a life-long distrust of the so-called “news” media.
sounds like a good time to revoke the broadcast license of all CBS Affiliates
Cronkite and Rather were commie scum and enemies of the state way back then.
My politically incorrect questions are:
1. Is it true that he was affiliated with the Latin Kings Street gang?
2. What the heck is a 13 year old doing out in the streets in the middle of the night?
CBS didn’t invent fake news but they have been the leader since the Vietnam war at least.
Now if CBS began to actually portray the news accurately and truthfully, we might get to where we expected that from them. . . .
FCC doesn’t cover twitter. What version did they broadcast on tv? Then they can go after every single affiliate.
Does anyone think they care?
The gaslight media actively seeks race wars.
I thought CBS showed it on TV; so you’re saying it was only shown on Twitter?
That5’s the Saint Skittles mode...
show them as an innocent wee babe whom the nasty big policeman murdered...
Instead of the angry dirty mouth dangerous creep with guns in the images he put in his FaceBook page last month...
That’s a favorite propaganda trick, to show the joggers as innocent little fellows.
Pure propaganda...
The little thug does not look Black, maybe hispanic or white. If so, no riots. And no extended media coverage or BLM marches.And, because it was not a Black thug, the cop has a better chance of not being criminally charged to placate the
Black mob and liberal media
60 minutes has been discredited garbage for decades and only morons have failed to recognize that.
