UPDATED — CNN edits Milwaukee sister of black man killed by cops to make her sound PEACEFUL

Yesterday morning CNN aired this short edited clip of Kimberly Neal, the sister of the black man killed after pulling a gun on Milwaukee cops, making her sound peaceful:

Watch:

Aw she sounds so peaceful doesn’t she?

But as we posted yesterday, Neal was not being peaceful at all. Rather, she was telling people to go riot and burn ‘sh*t’ down in the suburbs:

CNN should be ashamed.

 
UPDATE via Mediaite:

UPDATE (2:25 PM ET): When reached for comment, CNN told Mediaite that, “An earlier version of this story mischaracterized what the victim’s sister was trying to convey. She was calling for peace in her community, urging the protesters to go elsewhere.”

Meanwhile, the version of the segment posted to CNN.com has been updated to include Smith’s comments about burning down the suburbs. The narration no longer claims that Smith was “calling for peace,” and instead says she said that “the violence only hurt her community, and to take it elsewhere.”
