It's literally footage from 7 News Australia, the biggest TV station in Australia.

Are you suggesting the footage was doctored? Where do you host video, if not YouTube? Honest question. If video from a reputable Australia News crew, hosted on YouTube is not adequate, what do you think would be?

The article in questions is titled:

U.S. police have attacked journalists more than 120 times since May 28

The person to which you replied was questioning the trustworthiness of the data upon which that claim is based. Do you consider footage of one event conclusive evidence for 120 events?

Would your thinking style change if we switched up some of the variables, say something like:

Young black males have attacked elderly women more than 120 times since May 28

Would one video be sufficient evidence to satisfy your mind in this scenario as well?
