Good article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal with cleaned/stabilized versions of the videos, synchronized from multiple perspectives. Maybe check it out: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/videos-contradict-u-s-account-of...

Of course you're right to be suspicious. The Trump administration has already used AI-altered videos to bear false witness in at least one instance we know of, so it's a good idea to hunt down multiple sources. (That, incidentally, is one reason why it's so important for citizens to film ICE and other so-called "law enforcement" activities in the first place. Multiple sources need to exist.)

In this case, the footage is consistent and unequivocal: an execution-style killing took place in cold blood under color of law. But I'm sure that won't always be true.
