Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro.

    A bad thing in my country is the amount of Tesla’s we buy. In America it’s ICE, fascism and the government protecting the rich, powerful pedophiles from being exposed.

    They literally said they color corrected and enhanced parts of it for visibility. So yes, the footage was modified.

      But why? News agencies can do that if they wish, for the viewers, but why would a government agency releasing video evidence touch it up in any way? That’s just asking for questions.

        I would assume it’s to make the metadata seem more reasonable, so people pay less attention to the cut. ‘The “perfectly innocent” act of “touching it up” is the reason the metadata says what it does, not because we removed part of it. Don’t look any closer!’

        Yeah I agree. Pretty sure the whole trust part goes out the window when you aren’t releasing the actual raw footage to the press.

    I’m not surprised, and I’d still say it’s not an unlikely grand conspiracy if some rich guy paid a couple guards to kill him.

      Americans talk about conspiracy as if its something that only happens in literature. Of all places

        Americans tend to overuse conspiracy to mythologize so they can support theirvmasdive cognitive dissonance and/or feel like there’s a daddy in control of everything up to and apparentlybincluding the weather. Except tor the handful who are fucking sick if that shit and so used to dismissingbit out of hand.

          Saying “I don’t believe X conspiracy theory” is understandable. But saying you don’t believe in any “conspiracy theory”. Like, you think that the government just always tells the truth and doesn’t cover up anything?

            I believe in conspiracies as a general concept, like the two guards, and I believe governments have classified programs. When it gets to a certain point where vast numbers of people are involved in covering up something huge perfectly, you run into the problem of everything being possible and nothing being falsifiable, though.

            In practice, people don’t believe in conspiracy theories because they honestly assess it’s the neatest way to explain the world, it’s because they get emotional satisfaction out of the community and the feeling that they know something which other people don’t. There’s psychology literature about it and everything.

            What I said is my goto answer when I suspect I’m about to be arguing about melting steel beams or whatever, because that’s just a waste of time.

    The footage with the murdered is buried somewhere deep in Adobe secret database. I don’t want to live in a world where Adobe can blackmail the goverment.

    I can excuse Feds falsifying evidence to cover for their owners in the billionaire pedophile class, but I draw the line at using Adobe software

    This isn’t a problem, as it is well known that Adobe Premiere is not designed to modify video.
