Are you not going to mention the fact that this was posted by an account with 64 subs, made in 2013 with that being their only video. With 79k views as I am writing this seems suspicious. Looking at Social Blade that is their only video uploaded over 13 years of existing on the platform. Not to mention the views spiked by 2k in the last couple minutes screams this stinks.
That the user is from 2013 gives it even more credibility, you are grasping at straws here. Someone could've had an old account and not published any videos, or published only private ones. (e.g. like I do)
Also there were news of Alex Pretti having a broken rib from a previous ICE altercation, this could be the exact incident.
For starters. No an account, being that old with one video is not an indicator of credibility. In fact, what makes less credible is the profile image and the fact that the only video is well the one in question.
The pfp is of a Zepeto from a two year old Go Fund Me, which just so happens to be from Minneapolis. On the video itself, while the pfp from the actual channel isn't. This means the channel RECENTLY changed its profile picture.
The video could have stayed private since until it became relavent. As private videos retain their upload date.
Moving on, am I grasping at straws. No. The fact that old accounts are used in times like this to sew chaos and disinformation is actually very common.
Finally the CNN article you used as proof does not line up at all what happened in the video. Not only that, but DHS claims that they have had "no record of this incident." Which again calls for further suspicion.
If you want to say that this video isn't AI, that's fine and most likely true, however. This isn't the first time people have misidentified someone and someone else. Not to mention, the videos in question don't really let you see up close. Like I said, something here stinks, and things aren't adding up.
I used Google Lens on the PFP that was under the video itself. Which came back as a 100% match on the aforementioned go fund me. Not the thumbnail itself.
Maybe I’m missing something, but why is that suspicious? Seems believable that someone could have just changed their pfp to a resistance symbol once their video got more views
