O’Reilly: There Is No ‘Plague of White Cops Acting Violently Against Blacks’

Bill O’Reilly tonight really went on a tear against Ferguson protesters and what he deemed apologists for looting and rioting. He argued that despite networks claiming most of the protesters aren’t violent, that claim simply isn’t true.

Why? Because, as O’Reilly argued, any non-violent protester who saw crimes being committed and didn’t immediately walk away became “part of the violence mob” and are therefore “guilty of aiding and abetting.”

O’Reilly particularly went after Michael Eric Dyson, who wrote an op-ed taking issue with President Obama focusing more on the criminal activity of protesters than “the plague of white cops who kill unarmed black youth.” O’Reilly declared that there is no such “plague of white cops acting violently against blacks” and trotted out some stats to back him up.

He said, “Anyone thinking clearly can see that the homicide rate among blacks [is] way out of proportion. Thus the police intrusion into black precincts.”
