minus-squareTheTechnician27@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·edit-23 days agoThat is Marc Brown from ABC 7 Los Angeles, and this old forum thread discusses it a bit. The links are dead, but they mention a Marque Clark, who was arrested for a crime committed in August 2006. So it’s plausibly (but not confirmed) real. Digging through newspapers, it looks like Clark was arrested c. September 20, 2006, assuming he was the one in the sketch.
minus-squareZorcron@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoYeah there are a couple that are real like that one and the one I posted, and apparently they’re popular enough to prompt the AI copies. It’s kind of funny that AI videos have their own genres. Like this and the porch Ring videos.
This one was real, though.
