CNN says it regrets leaving out a woman’s call for violence in the suburbs of Milwaukee following the fatal shooting of her brother by police in the city over the weekend. […]
… Sherelle Smith spoke to reporters Sunday, calling for peace in the city, saying “don’t bring the violence here and the ignorance here” before suggesting people should take the violence to the suburbs.
A report that aired on CNN on Monday only included Smith condemning the violence. …

The edit itself was shameless. Trying to portray her(edited)comments as a plea for peace was straight up Orwellian. CNN will never regain what limited credibility it had prior to this political season. Never.

REGRET MY ASS!
Every time these leftist corrupt “journalists” get caught with their biased pants down around their ankles, they express “regrets”.
Regrets come from sincere people and most CNN people are not sincere. They are not even honest.
The “Communist News Network” is as professionally corrupt as any of the other MSM leftists, and that’s a fact, Jack.!
(fingers crossed behind back and big grin on their face)
ah yes they regret getting caught again...
Milwaukee police officer who shot Sylville Smith identified, threats follow

The identity of the police officer who shot and killed Sylville Smith appeared on social media and was confirmed today by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Photos of the officer on social media with his name (and some with his address) prompted responses encouraging violence against him:
As of Tuesday, at least 3,000 people have shared a Facebook photo of the 24-year-old Milwaukee patrolman who fatally shot 23-year-old Sylville Smith – some of them adding furious and threatening comments.
“Now y’all see his face if he’s seen anywhere in the city drop him,” read one post. Another called for a gun so the person could “shoot him right in his head.”
The posters gave the officer’s name, Dominique Heaggan, and some included his home address. The Journal Sentinel has independently confirmed his identity, which has not been released by the Police Department. He is also known as Dominique Heaggan-Brown.
The NY Daily News published some examples of other responses condoning violence against Heaggan-Brown online:
“Do whatever ya’ll need to do to this man,” wrote one person.
Another wrote: “They coming for yo a–, Mr. Postman.”
So are they playing the sister’s entire comment now or are they just expressing regret? Playing the full comment would be a good way to set the record straight.
