Why do we need testimonies? We have like 6 camera angles that plainly display the execution.
AFAIK sworn affidavits would be required for turning over video evidence as well as eyewitness testimony, the article even mentions that one of the witnesses signing an affidavit was one of the recorders.
You’re correct. I just find the waning period that we live in, where AI is still reasonably apparent, to be interesting. We had nearly indisputable videos of everything for nearly 2 decades, where laws and bureaucracy lagged behind easily verifiable truth. Now, eyewitness reports are again helpful and necessary in the wake of lie machines.
This might be about covering the time before these videos cover, too, I don't know.
There is probably not much doubt here. But with AI, which could even improve further (who knows how much), better to get the habit of improving the factchecking.
The media keeps repeating he had a gun not even saying he “allegedly” had a gun…
He did have a gun. Officials have commented he legally was allowed to carry a gun.
He was not threatening with or brandishing said gun, as some outlets have stated.
They are correct. He had a gun. But thats not relevant.
We all saw it, and it's becoming increasingly clear to me that there's a large part of the population that masks their enjoyment by lying about what they see. They're unmoored by principle, like ships floating above a stormy sea of confirmation bias and plausible deniability.
He was just trying to get up. I'm just so angry at both recent murders. They can just murder us and all we do is watch and take video. Like the dodo. But I think this one is it. It just feels different.
I bet there crimes against women and children are much worse behind closed doors these are terrorists we are in trouble the constitution is gone
Everyone already saw that was the case.
Not reaching for a gun is cool I suppose, but I would still support those who are brave enough to fight against tyranny. The reason we have the 2A.
Well, I hope we're just about there, otherwise we're fucked.
Doesn’t matter. The fascists make the rules and the rules are: what they see is what happens.
Either get used to it or do something about it, but doing nothing has never changed anything for the better.
but doing nothing has never changed anything for the better.
Who's doing nothing? I'm confused
Just came across this post (https://piefed.social/c/PLT/p/1702345/have-hope-comrades), very applicable to this 'conversation' i had here:
What they say they saw. What they see is the same thing as everyone else. They lie.
And they know it and we know it but go ahead and show me what difference it makes.
