      The editor of Press Progress, Luke LeBrun, revealed something surprising on his Twitter feed this week.

      He showed CBC video of two New York Police Department vehicles encountering a crowd demonstrating against the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

      Then this video was halted before the cops drove through this group of people.

      These images have caused an uproar in New York.

      But the truncated video that appeared on CBC News appears to be far more innocuous.

      CBC News has since admitted that the way this video was presented did not meet its journalistic standards.
