FOX Affiliate Caught Editing Video of Protest Chant: Faked Protesters Saying "Go Kill A Cop!"
By John Vibes on December 23, 2014"We can't stop! We won't stop! 'til killer cops are in cell blocks," was what protesters were actually saying.
Baltimore, Maryland Since the protests against police brutality began earlier this year, the mainstream media has been doing their best to demonize the protesters and make it seem like people who are concerned about these issues are violent people.This week, in the wake of the recent murder of two NYPD cops, both the media and police unions across the country have been taking the opportunity to once again paint police accountability activists as violent people who shouldn't be taken seriously.
This weekend, one FOX affiliate in Baltimore, Maryland was caught staging a shameful hoax, where a video was edited to make it seem like protesters where chanting "Kill a cop!" at a recent protest against police brutality.
The original video of the protest, as seen below, was filmed at an anti-police brutality demonstration in Washington DC. The protesters in the video where all shouting the chant "We can't stop! We won't stop! 'til killer cops are in cell blocks!"

Sadly, instead of airing the protest footage in its entirety, Baltimore's WBFF carefully edited the recording to paint the protesters in the worst possible light. The original protest chant of "We can't stop! We won't stop! 'til killer cops are in cell blocks!", was edited into "We can't stop! We won't stop! So kill a cop!"
Notice how the footage was edited in the video below:
In the coming weeks and months it will be important to pay attention to mainstream footage to look out for this type of propaganda.

They did the same thing with the Ferguson Grand Jury.

Nice catch. This might be slightly off topic, but one thing I've noticed is that a lot of conservatives, who aren't racist themselves, are buying into the propaganda of racists. Not realizing the agendas of those they get their news from. One example I've seen is that the "anti-protester" crowd has been copy / pasting stories from a site called "topconservativenews.com" which is owned by a white supremacist named Kyle Rogers. Now this is one of the more blatant sites, because they're hawking white supremacist t-shirts and the site is registered in Rogers' name. But they aren't all so obvious.
One of the tactics is to go find as many examples of "black on white" crime as possible. Random murders where the attacker was black and the victim was white. Then they compare this to the Mike Brown shooting or the Eric Garner death and accuse the media of covering up black on white crimes.
Of course, to be fair, there are race baiters on the left who see everything through a racial lense as well.
