There's no classic signs, at all, of it being a doctored video. None. So that fact that you "think" it is only adds to your history of clouded judgement regarding most things political.
You want the Cops to be right, so that OWS is wrong, so you THINK the video must be doctored, when in reality - there's 0 evidence whatsoever to give any rational person that indication.
It's also a pretty grandiose theory - someone brought cherry bombs because they pre-predicted the cops would throw tear gas after 28 days of protesting and somehow the same guy was the videographer who brilliantly altered the video with no signs at all that he had done so. Brilliance.
No. I see someone as innocent until proven guilty.
And for you to say it is absurd to think that a blogger would not doctor a video shows how immature your thinking is as it pertains to political bloggers...ON BOTH SIDES. And for you to assert that it is foolish to think that someone would carry cherry bombs to a protest to try to "stir things up" shows even greater levels of immaturity as it pertains to your thinking.
Now, I am by no means saying you are immatrue....I see you as the exact opposite.....but you have taken the video that was released by a blogger WITH AN AGENDA and right away deemed it as legit........
How did you feel about the ACORN videos? The same way?
Afterall, signs of it being "edited" did not come out until weeks later.......were you seeing those videos as "fact" or "set up"?
Curious....
