Leaked LVMPD audio reveals how the mainstream media is hiding crucial details about last Sundays shooting at the Route 91 music festival in Las Vegas
(INTELLIHUB) Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department audio captured during last Sundays active shooting at Mandalay Bay resort and casino reveals how officers confirmed that there were at least two shooters firing down onto the crowd of concertgoers attending the Route 91 music festival.
After a series of fully-automatic gunfire popped off and people started getting struck by flying rounds a team of law enforcement officers and another element stormed the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay it was feared that there was an additional shooter on the 29th floor.
We have a four-man team up here and we have another element moving to us. We will need the 29th floor, one officer said. It sounds like its confirmed, there are at least two shooters with fully-automatic weapons.
Additionally, the audio recordings also reveal that a black Chevy dually pickup truck fled the parking lot during all of the commotions and that an older white male who was wearing fatigues and carrying a black bag was spotted retreating into a white RV by the Tropicana and the Motel 6. Pedestrians said that the man came from the area of the shooting.
Pedestrians said that the man came from the area of the shooting and a team eventually converged on the white RV.
At one point, a police car was commandeered by an unknown suspect while the two elements on the 32nd floor were cleared for 335 Zebras approach to the northernmost room.
This is 335 Zebra. I need to know if we have that floor evacuated other than our suspects. We got [ ] sniper going up, a voice called out over the radio.
Thats when 720 called in an confirmed he had a 12 man element entering the east side of the Mandalay Bay.

Its important to note that there may be a total media blackout and that other hotels may have been targeted.
Additionally, the audio recordings also reveal that a black Chevy dually pickup truck fled the parking lot during all of the commotions
That could easily be an ordinary person fleeing the scene in fear.
The reports of multiple shooters should be examined, though in the chaos of a completely unexpected and deadly event like this, on-the-spot inaccuracies will be plentiful.
Where on that video is it identified as a strobe light???
Your video at 1m05s reports "shots seen and recorded around the 4th or 5th floor."
At 1m:15s it reports, "I see shots coming from Mandalay Bay HALF WAY UP!!"
At 1m30s it reports, "We have an active shooter... we have an active shooter INSIDE THE FAIRGROUNDS!!"
At 2m48s it reports, "Control, be advised SHOTS ARE COMING FROM GATE 7...SHOTS ARE COMING FROM GATE 7!"
At 3m28s it reports, "we're seeing multiple flashes IN THE MIDDLE OF Mandalay Bay on the North side...kind of a...on the West tower but TOWARDS THE CENTER of the Casino...it's like one of the MIDDLE FLOORS"
At 4m:07s it reports, "a flashing coming up from about a THIRD OF THE WAY UP...CENTER TOWER Mandalay Bay...be advised!"
At 5m10s, someone ask if anyone has eyes on the shooter, and the response is, "...about the 15th floor on the Mandalay Bay...facing...um...the whole lot...
And it was still flashing at 5:02 AM the next morning.
He referred to one of the two shot out windows on the 32nd floor. The taxi video did not show the 32nd floor and the flashes lasted the length of a gun burst.
7m25s "There is a strobe coming from one of those windows on the East side." The video provides a closeup of the 32nd floor windows.
Cori Langdon's ground level video is just about in the middle right over the entrance, not near the two 32nd floor windows on the East side.
The strobe... was still flashing at 5:02 AM the next morning, behind the reporte.
Hundreds of feet from the flashing above entrance caught on video by the taxi driver, and about 25 floors up. The flashing in the taxi video is unrelated to the 32nd floor or the East end of the building.
[nc #47] It means you have a vivid imagination or a third or fourth generation tape.
[Vxh #55] The principle of "generations" doesn't apply to reproduction of digital video super genius.
It does when the people creating the different versions are of unknown identity or motivation or reliability. The later generations are of unknown veracity. Copying is not 100% acurate, and compression may be used for Youtube posting.
The super genius who presents your audio analysis identifies his masterpiece as being second generation. What was on the taxi driver's phone or whatever is the first generation. Unless he made his copy directly from her, he cannot produce a second generation. Assuming the Youtube video came directly from the taxi driver's phone, it would be second generation. Unless your super genius was using the taxi driver's recording device as his source, he did not even have second generation.
Flashes vs Sound Analysis of Cori Langdon's Mandalay Bay Taxi Video
From 0m34s to 0m46s, your super genius states,
"There is an indication of the first flash that we can see in the video. It can't be seen probably in this rendering because I am doing a second generation rendering...."
Your super genius says he did a second generation rendering, and as a result of his second generation rendition, he claims that the viewer cannot see the first flash.
As you claim generations are bullshit, please explain what your super genius is talking about.
"There is an indication of the first flash that we can see in the video. It can't be seen probably in this rendering because I am doing a second generation rendering...."
His video is a screencap of him using the OpenShot video editor on a fairly modern Windows machine; this editor also runs on Linux and Macs. It takes a variety of video types as inputs (using the FFMpeg library to import them) including WebM (VP9), AVCHD (libx264), HEVC (libx265) and the usual MP3 and AAC audio types. OpenShot outputs to a variety of other formats (MPEG4, ogv, Blu-ray and DVD video, and Full HD videos).
I used DownloadHelper, a Firefox extension, to choose a version of the video to download. The choices were:
1280x720 - HD720 - MP4
480x360 - Medium - MP4
480x360 - Medium - WEBM
320x240 - Low - 3GPP
176x144 - Low - 3GPP
I grabbed the 720p H.264 version. Here are the video specs:
MPEG-4 (Base Media / Version 2): 17.5 MiB, 3mn 27s
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Overall bit rate mode: Variable
Overall bit rate: 707 Kbps
Encoded date: UTC 2017-10-06 02:46:55
Tagged date: UTC 2017-10-06 02:46:55
gsst: 0
The video is only 513Kbps, 1280*720 (16:9), at 30.000fps, AVC (High@L3.1)(CABAC/ 1 Ref Frames). The audio is 192Kbps, 44.1KHz, 2 channels, AAC (LC).
Since it is a screengrab, we are definitely seeing a shrunk version of what the supergenius saw on his screen. I find it odd that he didn't include a finished version so people could see it at full resolution. At any rate, with a 720p 513Kbps H.264 video stream, you're lucky if you can see anything at all. That is really low quality video, especially for a night scene.
We really don't know what the original footage from the taxi driver's phone was. So necessarily, a shrunken version shown in a screencapped video of an editor and compressed heavily by YouTube is not considered first-generation material. For that, you need a lossless format which no smartphones support. So any first-gen original video is going to be 720p or 1080p h.264 video, in all likelihood. And it would have been 4Mbps - 12Mbps video, not this puny 513Kbps crapfest that we're seeing from YouBoob.
I am suspicious though. He could have just played a pixel-per-pixel original video and pointed at it with his mouse. Why the shrunken version and screencapped that way? It makes no sense if you want to accurately convey the original footage.
He might also have applied some filters to try to make those flashes more visible. We just don't know.
However it is entirely fair to discuss how this video has been recorded originally and the various stages of scaling and compression we are seeing. The use of the term first-generation or second-generation cannot be construed in the same way as we applied those terms to tape. But the cumulative effect of scaling and recompressing and screencapping cannot be denied, whatever term you choose to use to describe this degradation.
Using advanced video processing software, you can do a lot of fake video. Using a tool like Nuke Studio, for instance. Or Nuke Non-Commerical and then you render your edits and just screencap the full playback. My point being, you can get incredibly powerful video editing and special effects generation using freely available software now. And if you have a big profitable YouTube channel, you can just buy the full Nuke Studio. You can look at this page to see how they used Nuke's compositing in the action scenes of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. There are literally hundreds of thousands of trained people in America who know how to use Nuke software. Not as many as Photoshop but still a lot. So you have a lot of talent out there to generate any and all kinds of fake videos.
We could certainly be seeing fakes. Even where a picture is real, a picture of two windows broken by a hammer does not prove bullets came out of them.
One theory is that there were no flashes because the shooter used a suppressor and stood well back in the room. Simple room lights are clearly visible, but muzzle flashes are not. And, of course, a suppressor complicates explaining the sound that was clearly recorded by the taxi lady.
The story sort of resembles Lee Harvey Oswald shooting magic bullets out of the Texas School Book Depository.
Have you heard of Scott Edmisten? It is a curious possible connection. This is from Monday, October 2nd.
Johnson City man arrested after loaded pistols, two machine guns, 900 rounds found during traffic stop
Becky Campbell Updated Oct 2, 2017 at 5:15 PM bcampbell@johnsoncitypress.com
As the country was still reeling from the deadliest shooting attack in U.S. history, Washington County sheriffs deputies arrested a man on a traffic stop, then found a cache of weapons including what officials called two machine guns and ammunition in his car.
Sheriff Ed Graybeal said officers spotted a vehicle traveling 55 mph in a 30 mph zone on Old Jonesborough Highway around 4 a.m. Monday. The officer turned on his cruisers lights and siren to make the stop, but initially the vehicle sped up. About a half-mile from the initial stop attempt, and after speeding up to 80 mph, the car pulled over.
Scott A. Edmisten, 43, 1915 Clearwood Drive, Johnson City, was arrested because his license was suspended for failure to appear in court on an unrelated matter. After officers took Edmisten into custody, they found the weapons: a loaded .357-caliber Magnum, a loaded .45-caliber semi automatic, a .223-caliber fully automatic AR rifle, a .308-caliber fully automatic AR rifle, more than 900 rounds of ammunition and survival equipment.
Edmisten was charged with speeding, felony evading arrest and possession of prohibited weapons. Neither of the automatic weapons were registered, and there were no serial numbers on them, the sheriff reported.
The guns, he had made them fully automatic himself, Graybeal said, adding that the AR 15s receivers had been replaced to convert the weapon. If you know what youre doing, you can get the parts and do that.
At the Washington County Detention Center, Graybeal said Edmisten made threats toward the arresting officer and other staff and lunged toward investigators who were trying to question him. Because of Edmistens aggressive behavior, Graybeal said officers asked for a bond hearing before Edmisten could post bail.
Investigators contacted the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives because of the unregistered fully automatic guns, Graybeal said.

Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal said Scott Edmisten won't talk, so officials are still trying to determine why he had the weapons, as well as a mask and black fatigues, when he was pulled over for speeding before dawn Monday.
You might find guns with serial numbers filed off, but who makes/distributes guns with no serial number, if that is what was meant?

As the Clark County sheriff demonstrated repeatedly, sheriffs sometimes just shoot their mouths off stupidly.
Chances are that there are some serial numbers or they were filed off.
Beyond that, what advantage is there to removing serial numbers on these guns? Converting them to full-auto is what is going to put him in prison. The serial number issue is fairly minor by comparison. I'm not sure what jail time he'll get for this. Maybe 5 years?
