--- Quote ---We reached out to CNN for explanation and they provided the following statement:
“This story is nonsense. The group of demonstrators that was at the police cordon was being allowed through by officers so they could show their signs to the gathered media. The CNN crew along with other media present simply filmed them doing so.”

my problem is that with these kinds of protests, you can hear chants, shouting, and the general noise of chatter from the protestors.
this video is almost silent.
they also have an entire road taped off.
i'm staying skeptical, just because they pulled a few people from a protest doesn't mean the whole protest was real. in the description the video uploader says everyone left as soon as the shooting ended. no proof of this though.

im confused. is CNN faking a protest for their own political agenda or are they filming a reporter talk about the situation in front of some protesters, a technique that every news outlet uses because that's how you report news

there's no hard evidence to draw any conclusion tbh
safest bet is that they were just reporting on a protest
