    Here are 5 photos of Brooks identified by approximately when and why they were taken.



    CNN went with image for, the lightest (glaring one description said) image of them all. This image is not a booking photo; it is a photo taken in the courtroom during the arraignment/bail hearing. The same time the 5th image was taken.

    Of all the images available, CNN and others have chosen the brightest, whitest one.

    AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. CNN did not alter the skin tone of the gunman who drove into a George Floyd protest in Seattle on June 7 and shot one person. One of the photos used in the image was manipulated to make the gunman’s skin lighter, and a CNN logo was added.

    The altered photo began circulating on social media shortly after the gunman plowed into the June 7 protest. On June 8, 4Chan users uploaded the side-by-side image with the CNN logo saying “white supremacist shoots protester.”

    “CNN is up to their no good tricks again,” the poster said.

    The manipulated photo was shared widely across pro-Trump and conservative Facebook groups and pages where it received more than 50,000 interactions.

    But you are at least in agreement that he is black, regardless of what anyone else says.
    Now, why alter a picture to have a black man appear white?

    It just looks like stark lighting to me. I'll bet it's fluorescent because that type of lighting washes out skin tones and adds a sick greenish tint. That's what it looks like to me.

    Of course, CNN likely chose that photo for just that reason. LOL, I just checked their site and it's the lead photo on their video. So, while they probably didn't do anything to the photo, they gleefully selected it.

    That doesn't bother me nearly as much as their false narrative about the guy fleeing another crime that night, which was an attempt to give him an excuse--other than hating whitey--for his murderous intent.

    Why?
    The whole pic was altered. Notice how the background has been lightened too.

    Here's another set of images from https://www.foxnews.com/politics/whi...-parade-attack.

    Note the difference in arraignment images.
