But, yes, I believe the mayor's video is fake. You may be thinking that that sounds crazy. But here's what I think happened: Someone pushed this out, it got a bit of traction, and the mayor tweeted out the video himself, not realizing it was fake.
My main issue is just that I haven't seen any other footage of the show, from anyone who was there, and we've only seen this cinematic production, with fancy angles, crowd shots, and footage of people filming it...which seems and odd thing to focus on anyway.
I think the whole thing was a troll, a psyop, a social experiment, or some mix of the bunch.
Ok thanks! I thought the Mayor was the OP here, not re-posting something someone else had posted.
That there's no other video means it for sure is fake. It was an event at some sort of celebration, yes? There should be 1000 videos out there. At a minimum the local stations would send a camera team for a report.
Yeah, looks to me like he just posted video that was going around.

It was apparently a "surprise," so I wouldn't be surprised if the news didn't have original footage, but someone should have been able to source multiple different captures of this supposed event, yeah.
I think I was pretty clear.
