Bill O’Reilly: Ferguson Police Obviously ‘Targeting Blacks’

Bill O’Reilly tonight said that based on the DOJ report on Ferguson police and certain questionable practices, he couldn’t find any other conclusion than they were very specifically “targeting blacks.”

St. Louis radio talk show host McGraw Milhaven disputed some of the statistics, like how 90 percent of people who got tickets for minor infractions, but O’Reilly didn’t buy it.

He said, “You don’t have to give a ticket to somebody who’s not crossing the street properly. They’re targeting it. They’re doing it for money, they want the money, and it’s an easy play.”

When Milhaven said “they’re targeting blacks and whites,” that set off O’Reilly again. He said they were clearly targeting blacks and it’s flat-out wrong.
