Maher Goes Off on McKinney Cop: ‘High School Loser’ Type We Need to Weed Out

After briefly addressing it in his monologue, Bill Maher dived into McKinney on his panel tonight, calling Officer Eric Casebolt a “high school loser” type.

“I think we all know this guy,” he said. “This is the high school loser who wants to re-litigate his shitty adolescence by being a cop.”

He said police officers all across the country need to “weed out” that type and questioned by 12 cops were needed to break up a pool party in the first place.

Alexis Goldstein said there’s a “system of white supremacy in this country” and a systemic mentality that black youths are viewed as larger and more intimidating than their white peers by the police.

They ended up clashing with Ron Christie when he talked about kids needing to be polite to the cops, calming down first, and bemoaning how everything is seen as racial now.
