CBS Edits Out Atlanta Mayor Saying Cops Blameless for Weekend Killing

 Mr. Secoriya Williamson probably said it best when addressing the Fourth of July murder of his eight-year-old daughter, Secoriea Turner, in Atlanta: “They say black lives matter. You killed your own.”
His outrage at black-on-black crime was shared by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), who exclaimed: “You can't blame this on a police officer. You can't say that we -- this is about criminal justice reform.” Her sentiment was broadcast to the country on the evening newscasts of ABC and NBC, but on CBS. But not only did the CBS Evening News not share her sentiment, but they cut out those words.
This is how CBS correspondent Mark Strassmann summed up Bottom’s comments in his report:
STRASSMANN: Charmaine Turner's daughter, Secoriea, her baby died in her arms on the Fourth of July. A group of armed men randomly blocked their car in Atlanta. Two gunmen opened fire. The 8-year-old girl was killed.
ATLANTA MAYOR KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS (D): This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car. For what?
STRASSMAN: New York City on Sunday alone had 30 shootings.
Now, here’s Bottom’s comment as reported by correspondent Ron Allen on NBC Nightly News, with more context. “You can't blame this on a police officer. You can't say that we -- this is about criminal justice reform. This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an eight-year-old baby in the car,” she said.
Lamenting black-on-black crime was key facet of Allen’s report. He also shared a soundbite of Williamson’s comment to the press.
Over on ABC’s World News Tonight, correspondent Steve Osunsami noted that “[s]o many of the dead this weekend are black children,” and framed the Atlanta incident as another tragic case of black-on-black crime:
OSUNSAMI: Atlanta's mayor says the shooters were black, and that it happened just outside this Wendy's parking lot, where 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was killed a month ago at the hands of a white police officer.
LANCE BOTTOMS: Enough is enough. Enough is enough.
OSUNSAMI: The burned down restaurant has become a memorial for peaceful protest. But ever since, a group of people with long guns have taken over the area and blocked roads. Police are searching for the child's killer and today, finally moved in and took back the street.
BOTTOMS: We're fighting the enemy within, when we are shooting each other up on our streets.
Now, while all of these networks were reporting on the bloody holiday weekend in many major cities across the country, none of them mentioned the fact that these sad incidents occurred in cities wholly controlled by Democrats.
