TV station edits black boy to make him seem violent
• Rawstory (video)Chicago CBS affiliate WBBM is under fire for editing a 4-year old African American boy’s remarks to make him seem prone to gang violence. The young boys comments were played during a story about the drive-by shooting of two teenagers in a Chicago neighborhood.
In the edited video, the young boy says that he is “scared of nothing” and confidently states that when he is older he is “going to have me a gun.”
