Minneapolis shooting    Minneapolis shooting   You said  UserMr Granger was correct that we cannot use eye witness testimony as a declaration of fact You state that you are simply using the video as a primary source but that is not what you wrote in the article You did not say that the video shows someone claiming to be a member of the group and claiming that such and such happened You simply inserted the persons statement as facts Meters talk    While I initially referred to the video as being a primary source I later clarified that statement to recognize that once the video was placed on YouTube YouTube being analogous to a magazine or newspaper it became in that form a secondary source  As such I can quote from that video without it being called using eye witness testimony as a declaration of fact  Besides it wasnt testimony  It was not given under oath but it WAS given before a camera and the resulting video was placed on YouTube and thus in that form it was a secondary source  Go back and reread what I subsequently wrote  I refer to this later
