In a report about the rioting in Milwaukee airing on CNN, the network selectively edited the footage of the sister of an armed man shot by police to make it seem like she simply called for peace, when in-fact she also called for violence.

In the segment airing on Monday’s “CNN Newsroom,” with correspondent Ana Cabrera, her report portrayed the protesters as peaceful, holding a vigil “marked by prayers.” (RELATED: Milwaukee Rioters Hunt Down, Attack Whites [VIDEO])
