There's plenty of ways this could be pulled off with real people that exist in a shadow world of the witness protection program. Real people with no real identity. The only identity they have is the one they're using on that day.

I don't know but the idea this is fake...hmmm.
Can we all agree that the "victim" is/was a real live, singing and dancing human being? He did run away, or is that cgi?
I ask because if this is a conspiracy we have a law enforcement officer facing murder charges and based on the video evidence, likely to spend the rest of his life in prison or maybe even execution.
We have a dead person who, if he isn't dead, will need a full new identity, relocation and be trustworthy enough NEVER to sing.
I imagine all the family and friends of the victim will want a funeral, no closed casket here because he wasn't shot in the face or left in pieces. They may have some questions might they not?
And one of the principal arguments in favour of this video being fake is the lack of blood. On a bad video, where at such close range most bullets could have exited the body with the victim falling forwards and lying on top of his own blood.
AND he was shot through the heart, which has been pointed out as a probable cause of stopping the blood pumping out.
I don't know, but it seems like a very, very complicated conspiracy for such a small reward.
What exactly would be the reward here?
Just my opinion of course and no offence to anyone who disagrees with my point of view.
It's estimated that 7500 people and 9500 families that have entered into the witness protection since it's inception. That could represent 10s of thousands of people. Maybe this is how they pay that back.

Why is the question.
Who does racial unrest benefit ?
It must be about Elections. What Party benefits from division ?
It's pretty obvious when you stop and think about it.
Think about my post before you just say no, I'm wrong.
The Republicans benefit the most from Division otherwise why would the republican propaganda arms of the republican party talk radio be filled with so much divisive content and rhetoric?
Don't talk about how democrats benefit more, maybe they do, but if division of the US isn't the goal then why to the republican mouthpieces insult against every left wing group?
You could say both parties benefit from division but you can't say the republicans want us together.
Either way, I believe this shooting video to be real and not a conspiracy.
The guy is allegedly dead so he has nothing to fear even if someone thinks he looks like someone they thought they knew. People leave but people get added to it every day as well. Besides, there's still plenty enough bodies for pulling off these stunts. There's also people that may believe in the "cause" that would gladly participate in a hoax.

So you suggest that people "pay back" the witness protection program by...going out and getting put on camera for nationally covered events?
Out of your estimate, there's a significant number of people who leave the program because they can't handle the stress of living an alternate identity.
But how going out and putting yourself on national TV after entering witness protection makes any kind of sense is beyond me.

If it's proven to be fake or real and no riots begin, just wait a week or 2 for another log on the fire because they want their divide and they will get it.
It's already working.

There is no view close enough to define that..he was shot through the heart so it would stop pumping blood..might not see alot of blood because of that.
For all we know, they could have taken some homeless crackhead off the street, set up a staged area and murdered the man, then payed off a group of people to claim to be family members or friends...it really is very possible.

if you can't see buttons on the shirts, you are not going to see the bullet holes themselves.
But on white you should see spreading red.

For all we know they're all crisis actors.
For all we know, it's an acting troupe imported from Ghana.
For all we know, a man is really dead and he was really shot by a cop.
It really is very possible. And the list of ideas we can come up with collectively is nearly endless.
The evidence to support those ideas? Significantly less plentiful.

I've watched a few different video breakdowns, trying to decide where I stand on this one. The video of the "shooting" left me initially suspicious since there was no blood, and neither officer acknowledged the person that was filming. So I've been watching some of the videos analyzing the shooting and the subsequent interviews.
I found this one interesting, and there's another one I'll find the link for.
Personally, I think this lines up with the federalizing of the police force initiative that is being pushed right now. NOT GOOD.
