Media and video manipulation samples via social media

Today, Monday June 15th on twitter you could see a good example of media manipulating video to misinform the public: https://twitter.com/mitchellvii/status/1272569230316253184?s=20 Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii · 23m This is odd. The arresting officer has a mask and then suddenly doesn't. Clearly, this video has been altered. Again, not sure what is happening here but it all seems quite strange. Is this same arrest in which Floyd died? After typing this in, I went to check the video and it was GONE!
