http://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2015-0...lly-shows/
I forced myself to sit through a video of executions by various evil sods around the world to see what happened to the body when it was hit with bullets. It's not pleasant duty.
In every case I saw - I stopped after five or six minutes out of nearly twenty, sick to the stomach - there was an autonomous reaction as the person was shot; a twitch, body jerk etc. Always something. I can accept that there is not always a lot of blood, and the absence of it in the clip in question, does not cause me great concern, because the clip is short and it seems that sometimes blood seepage takes a bit of time. Even so, I would have expected a bit of splatter at the point of entry. And I would have expected a body reaction - a jerk, twitch - something. But there was nothing. The policeman just slowly turned back towards the pavement.
It is a question that remains unexplained for me.
And as the writer of the above example says, it's very easy to drag out the conspiracy theorist tag, and it's very easy for the media to close up shop and say the video is in bad taste (it is) and delete it.
But evidence is evidence and if the people are not allowed to see it and discuss it, then we are left to trust those we pay who do these things on our behalf to save us the heartache. And how many of us really trust them to do the right thing anymore? Not me.
Once bitten twice shy, thrice bitten more fool me. Always bitten? It's a rabid dog.
The video is a mystery, to be sure. That being said, they have had a funeral for the poor guy, so I am assuming that the family have identified the body and that there has been an autopsy of some kind.
This seems to me to be yet another example of a video allied to a bogus narrative that is designed to create confusion and endless debate.
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
