Video messaging service verifies timing of CNN audio recording


The video texting service Glide has verified the recording played by CNN this week of the purported shots in the Ferguson, Mo., killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown. In an e-mail to the Erik Wemple Blog, Glide head of communications Chaim Haas reports:

Because Glide is the only messaging application using streaming video technology, each message is simultaneously recorded and transmitted, so the exact time can be verified to the second. In this case, the video in question was created at 12:02:14 PM CDT on Saturday, August 9th.

Glide has also posted a note on its Web site. In a brief chat with the Erik Wemple Blog, Haas said, “The question we are being asked is is this authentic and the answer is absolutely.” Notification to the FBI, said Haas, “is taking place.”

The news is big news for CNN, which subjected itself to some doubts about the integrity of the recording. It surfaced the tape on Monday night without having authenticated it. Haas confirms that, even though the service has verified the creation of the tape, that doesn’t mean that the sounds in the background are conclusively those of the Brown shooting.

thank you for posting this

Man, seeing a STRING of damn police brutality videos being posted in TLR. And obviously that's just a small drop in the hat of the shyt we have faced in this country.

But I kinda feel like the anger over this may have lost steam or something....what's it going to take for us to move forward on this into some long term changes and organizing?

I think that the media stole this shyt....this shyt wasn't just about "militarization of police"...wasn't about "suppression of journalist"....the shyt is about RACISM! fukking white people couldn't relate to the shyt until it was an issue THEY might have to deal with. And we as black folks are just so happy to have our issues heard that we were all too happy to let our "allies" have a place at the table (And I'm just as guilty as anyone).

I dunno...I'm just feeling EXTRA agitated with this country right now (And I already hate America). It's like we need something MAJOR to shake this shyt up. We can't win through traditional means. Obviously can't win in armed conflict. But they have control over the media, education, politics, the economy....what the fukk can we do?

And stuff like this is why I have no confidence in the court/jury system. Police shot this man over 10 times while he was in a defenseless position and the jury is talking about it doesn't have evidence to convict...But do they have evidence this young brother should of been killed either?

Don’t Talk About Ferguson or Michael Brown, School District Says
An Edwardsville, Ill., school superintendent has ruled that the fatal shooting in Ferguson, Mo., should be off-limits in class.

Superintendent Ed Hightower of Illinois’ Edwardsville School District has told schools not to talk about Michael Brown.

According to KMOX News, Hightower told the station that although current news is typically discussed in class, “this situation in Ferguson-Florissant has become a situation whereby there are so many facts that are unknown.”

If students bring up the topic in class, teachers have been told to change the subject.

So the kids can't learn about anything where facts are unknown? No, Probally only the facts that school board wants to sell...Im sure History/Social Studies class will be very quiet.

Exactly what i was thinking. They talking about the teachers were giving their "own opinions" and not the facts...lol.

Fact...Mike Brown is dead
Fact...Darren Wilson killed him
Fact...Mike Brown was on the video
Fact...Darren Wilson didn't know it was him
Fact...Darren Wilson didn't write a report up and fled the state
Fact...Mike Brown's character is being assassinated by them
I can keep going but we know these cats are master manipulators.

Exactly. I need these folks to just come out the closet and say what he really means....Id really like to see what they are allowed to teach.

The Skyping audio got the System shook. They weren't expecting that.

 

[Quarterback]

So schools put a gag order on the Ferguson case, yet they will still force kids to pledge allegiance to that piece of shyt flag...

Cacs are like children. They display the same responses as a toddler. We gotta separate from them and get our own shyt junpin.

This did not die down. People are waiting for an indictment. If the cop isn't charged, you will see massive protests larger than what already took place. Have patience. This is a huge turning point in our country.
