The DumFux News affiliate in Baltimore ran a clip that made it sound like protesters were ending their chant with "kill a cop".
And of course, it was bullshit (Hanlon's Razor notwithstanding). The station took the story down after they got a lot of push-back, and they even made with the usual "apology", saying it was accidental - which is also bullshit because you don't accidentally do a quick-cut edit unless you're trying to make the thing say something it doesn't actually say. This does not happen by accident. Somebody wanted that clip out there. Somebody OK'd that clip for air, and for posting on the website.
But it's prob'ly not gonna matter to the rubes - they got their Scary-Black-People fix and that's all anybody cares about.
In case anybody wants to know:
We won't stop
We can't stop
'Til killer cops
Are in cell blocks
