A security expert who has analyzed the new video filmed by an ICE officer says it appears to have been edited to remove crucial moments that show when shots were fired at Good.

Thomas Warrick, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think-tank, said when the 47-second-long video is watched second-by-second, it briefly goes black around the 42-second mark.

"There's no logical reason why somebody holding a cellphone has a black frame at that point," said Warrick, a former deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism policy at the Department of Homeland Security.

He said the phone evidently didn't fall to the ground, because the officer is holding it at the end of the video and pointing it toward Good's car.

"So, clearly, he never dropped the phone. Why is that black frame there? What happened?" Warrick said.

"This is going to fuel the narrative that evidence is being manipulated."

Warrick apparently retracted that accusation after closer examination, FYI.
