NBC Deceptively Edits 911 Call, Casts Doubt
on Cop’s Need to Protect a Life
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/21/2021 11:38:14 PM
On the same day former police offer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Columbus, Ohio officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black teen, Ma’khia Bryant. Though the left would like to conflate the two incidents, the latter commanded a huge difference: the teen was about to plunge a knife into another girl. But NBC Nightly News didn’t want to clearly show that part of the body camera footage on Wednesday, and they deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out witness accounts of an attempted stabbing. In 911 audio aired on both ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News that same evening, a caller can be heard

An unruly crowd entered the US Capitol on Jan. 6, while then-President Donald Trump addressed a rally several blocks away. One member of that crowd, Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed woman and a veteran, was shot by the Capitol Police. The next day, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died in the hospital.
On Jan. 8, The New York Times reported that Officer Sicknick had died after being struck in the head with a fire extinguisher by violent Trump supporters. This story was quickly repeated by numerous other media outlets. Millions believed it.
The story was false.
Sicknick died of two strokes, which occurred many hours after the invasion of the Capitol.
When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, lifted his statewide face mask mandate and his limits on business occupancy in early March, Democrats warned that he was inviting a public health disaster. Yet a month and a half later, newly identified coronavirus cases in Texas have fallen by more than 50 percent, and daily deaths have dropped even more.
Meanwhile, states with stricter COVID-19 regulations have seen spikes in daily new cases. This is not the pattern you would expect to see if government-imposed restrictions played a crucial role in curtailing the pandemic, as advocates of those policies assume.
Abbott's critics did not mince words.
On Wednesday, NBA Lakers star LeBron James tweeted something that looked very much like an incitement to murder a police officer. James rushed to conclusions about the shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, a black girl who appears to have been lunging at someone with a deadly knife when the cop shot her. James later took down the tweet, but he claimed that this shooting represents yet more evidence of systemic racism.
President Donald Trump took him to task on Thursday night.
“LeBron James should focus on basketball rather than presiding over the destruction of the NBA, which has just recorded the lowest
While doubling down their support for Officer Nicholas Reardon’s decision to shoot knife-wielding Ma’Khia Bryant during Thursday’s CNN Tonight handoff, CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon blasted outlets like NBC who didn’t show the knife in Bryant’s hand while reporting on the shooting. The pair accused such outlets of “journalistic malpractice” because they weren’t being honest (an ironic notion given who was flinging it).
Their knock came as NewsBusters drove part of the Thursday news cycle with a report exposing NBC’s deception against their audience; editing out a key part of the 911 call and not showing the knife
As America learned that a Columbus, Ohio police officer shot and killed a teenage girl while she was in the act of wielding a knife at two other girls, NBA star LeBron James took to Twitter and incited his followers against the police officer. James has 49.6 million Twitter followers and is a hero to millions for winning basketball championships. He is very influential.
This is what he tweeted. I’d have blurred out the officer’s face, but the fact is, James’ tweet put it out there and the officer’s name has also been released.
Columbus police made bodycam video of the shooting available very quickly after the incident.
A Minnesota jury has found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. This means they claim to have concluded that they unanimously believe beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death.
Given the circumstances of the trial, however, it’s extremely hard to believe the jury was solely concerned with either truth or justice. It’s extremely hard, if not impossible, for any thinking person not to have a reasonable doubt about the outcome.
We know the judge in the case refused to sequester jurors from media coverage and outside influences during the trial, and that the pressure conveyed to them was beyond intense.
A Troubled Rule of Law

America’s cities did not burn last night. But the terrified preparations in Minneapolis and elsewhere in anticipation of the George Floyd verdict—the razor wire and barricades around government buildings, the activation of the National Guard, the declaration in Minnesota of a “peacetime emergency,” the fortified police presence, the curfews, the cancellation of school, the boarded up businesses—raise serious questions about the rule of law in the United States. Had the jury failed to convict Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin on all three counts of murder and manslaughter, the ensuing riots would likely have made the conflagrations of 2020 look like a Girl Scout campfire.
The British brought African slavery to American shores. The Democrats elevated slavery to a sacrament and fired the first shots in the Civil War to defend it. When the Democrats lost the Civil War, they initiated Jim Crow laws to marginalize Blacks. Despite this, Black Americans prospered, until the Democrats unleashed the mightiest weapon of all: killing them with "kindness." We're seeing the results of that play out across America.

Bradley Gayton, who joined the Coca-Cola Co as general counsel in September and made headlines for requiring its law firms to staff its matters with diverse lawyers or lose its business, has resigned, the beverage giant said in a Wednesday filing.
Gayton will now serve as an outside consultant to Coca-Cola's chief executive, the Atlanta-based company said in a statement and a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Monica Howard Douglas, a 17-year veteran of Coca-Cola who most recently served as chief compliance officer and associate general counsel for its North America operating unit, will take over as general counsel.

Police were responding to a 911 call that someone was “trying to stab us” on Tuesday when an officer fatally shot 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, who appeared to wield a knife on two other females in Columbus, Ohio.
On Wednesday, police released two 911 calls that came in before the fatal incident, as well as body-camera footage from three officers who responded to the call.
The first call came in at 4:32 p.m. The caller, who has not been identified by police, said, “[indistinguishable]…trying to fight us, trying to stab us, trying to put their hands on our grandma. Get here now.”
A second call came in but quickly
The Democrats ought to be celebrating the three guilty verdicts the jury handed down in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin Tuesday. Chauvin faced three serious charges in the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, and was found guilty on all three. Two of the charges are degrees of murder.
Instead of acknowledging justice, Democrats from Joe Biden on down instead described it as “accountability” and insisted that it wasn’t enough. They pushed for the Senate to pass a set of federal changes to police law — I won’t describe the bill as “reform” until I’ve read its particulars myself, as most Democrat inititiatives deform

Governor Ron DeSantis is on a collision course with Joe Biden and what is already the most radical administration in American history.The Florida Republican continues to elevate his national profile. His remarkable success in handling the COVID crisis by balancing the historic health disaster with protecting the economy & preserving civil liberties make him a rising star.With a possible 2024 White House bid in his future (if former President Donald J. Trump chooses not to run again) DeSantis has positioned himself to emerge as the nation’s top critic of Biden. The governor has already butted heads with Sleepy Joe when he recently sued the administration
Evidence of a "cold" American civil war has been playing out in the streets of America for the last year and the reality is it’s been percolating for decades. (snip) Such was the beginning of the journey that brings us to America circa 2021. Today you’re either on the side of angels or the side of Hitler. There’s no middle ground. George Washington was a slave-owning racist and nothing else matters. Michael Brown and George Floyd were innocent victims of racist cops. Period. All women should be believed… unless they accuse Democrats. There is an infinite number of genders. Clearly.
President Joe Biden issued a call to action to world leaders on Thursday, asking them to work together to keep the earth's temperature from rising too high in the next decade, arguing it would result in new jobs and economic opportunities.'The signs are unmistakable. The science is undeniable. The cost of inaction is mounting,' he said in his speech kicking off his Climate Summit.'This is a moral imperative, an economic imperative,' Biden argued. 'Time is short, but I believe we can do this. And I believe that we will do. Thank you for being part of the summit.'In his remarks, Biden stressed the importance of working together but also emphasized

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been mocked for claiming that climate change is a product of racial injustice, as she relaunched her controversial Green New Deal.The New York congresswoman on Tuesday spoke in front of the Capitol to promote her plan, which set a series of ambitious targets such as eliminating U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade and transitioning the economy away from fossil fuels.Ocasio-Cortez said that climate change must be viewed through the lens of race.'The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological cost,' she said.
The square where George Floyd was murdered by ex-Minnesota cop Derek Chauvin now has a sign with special rules for white people. The placard at the entrance of George Floyd Square in Minnesota calls it “a sacred space for community, public grief, and protest,” telling visitors to “honor the space as a place to connect and grieve as caring humans.” But most of the instructions are listed under five orders “for white people in particular.” “Decenter yourself and come to listen, learn, mourn, and witness,” the first bullet points reads, adding, “Remember you are here to support, not to be supported.” “Be mindful
The Ohio police officer who shot to death a black teenage girl in a disturbing encounter with a knife appears to be a military-trained marksman specializing in firing an assault rifle, according to a report Wednesday.
Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon — who was placed on paid leave after fatally shooting 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant Tuesday — is a U.S. Air National Guardsman who received an expert marksman badge with a M4 Carbine rifle, according to the Daily Beast.
Reardon, who joined the department in 2019, is also the son of Air Force veteran and retired Columbus Division of Police
The Post Office is spying on Americans

Yahoo News, which is a hard left partisan outfit, committed an act of journalism this week: It discovered that the United States Post Office has been running a “covert operations program” to monitor Americans’ social media posts for inflammatory information. That sounds like a bipartisan sin of officiousness that, despite the public nature of many posts, can leak into being a Fifth Amendment violation. However, when you dig more deeply into the article, you discover that the Post Office is concerned only with “right-wing” inflammatory information.

Derek Chauvin is spending 23 hours a day alone in 7-by-10-foot cell at Minnesota's only maximum security prison as he awaits sentencing for the murder of George Floyd.
Chauvin, 45, was whisked to the Minnesota Correctional Facility - Oak Park Heights on Tuesday and placed on suicide watch after a jury handed down its guilty verdict. The disgraced former Minneapolis cop will be held in solitary confinement in what's known as a 'Super Seg' single prison cell for the next eight weeks until his sentencing, where he faces up to 40 years.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Zach Usmani gripped his phone, shoulders hunched over the steering wheel as he sat in his parked car Tuesday outside a gym in Columbus. He was watching a video livestream when Judge Peter Cahill read the verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin. (Snip) "Relief is just so tepid. It's tepid because I know this does not protect the next person from getting shot, protect the next person from being brutalized," Usmani said. "The police just can't stop themselves from killing Black people even with all the attention on this." The shooting comes as
