It seems like they pretty much covered it.

Recipe for a conspiracy theory: take the worst-quality video you can find, claim the injured shooting victim in the wheelchair is a mannequin.

Whereas, if if you take the time to look at any decent-quality version of the same video clip, it's clearly a human being:

Thanks! I was wondering where to find a higher def video of the wheelchair event. I'm surprised by how much credibility this claim seems to enjoy. In case anyone is wondering where the footage in question is, in the video linked above as "decent-quality version", go to 4:04.
