Megyn Kelly Gets Heated with Guest Over Whether Chicago Protester Is Acting ‘Appropriate’

There are protests in the street of Chicago tonight after video was released of an officer repeatedly shooting a black teenager. The protests have been peaceful, but the police are there to keep order. During its live coverage, Fox News got footage of one protester staring down a cop:

This actually bothered Fox’s Megyn Kelly, who said that cop isn’t being accused of anything and is just trying to keep the peace. Richard Fowler shot back that it’s a silent protest and he’s just exercising his First Amendment rights.

Kelly said the right to protest is different from “getting in a cop’s face” and staring him down, noting with some amazement how Fowler has “no problem with this.”

She said it’s not about rights, it’s about what’s “appropriate.”

A little later, Fowler told Kelly young people in Chicago are outraged because “their lives are literally in question.” Kelly asked why, then, they aren’t protesting black-on-black crime.
