Former New York top cop Bernard Kerik defended Sunday the military gear and tactics used by law enforcement in Ferguson, Mo., to help quell violence following the police shooting death of an unarmed teenager.

“It’s absolutely needed,” Kerik said on CNN’s “State of the Union” of the tank-like vehicles and automatic weapons used by police officers to curb rioting in the wake of 18-year-old Michael Brown’s death last week. “The police can’t be afraid to do their job, shouldn’t be afraid to do their job,” he said. “When the thugs try to take over the community, the police have to act and do whatever they have to do to keep the peace.”

“There was personal property that was damaged,” he added. “The police have to respond to that. You can't let the thugs take over the city. We saw that the other day. The police had to respond. Were they heavy-handed? I wasn't there.”

1. He's the last person who should be calling anybody else a thug.

2. 8 felony convictions = Bernard Kerik; 0 felony convictions = Michael Brown

Why is this jailbird ex-con commenting on this case again?

[cui bono]

9. I'll bet there's not one protester out there with 8 felony convictions. n/t

3. All I Need to Know about White Privilege

Bernark Kerik, who has 8 federal felony convictions and served 3 1/2 years in federal prison, gets to call Mike Brown - who has never been arrested - a "thug" on national television, and the whole country doesn't roll its eyes in collective amazement.

6. Exactly, Sir: What Is This Criminal Doing Posing as An Authority On Law Enforcement?

In what bizarro world are felons and ex-cons sought out to give their advice to the nation on proper behavior for police?

8. CNN World is just like Fox World. They're both BFEE World. nt

7. Well said.

[cui bono]

10. He's actually calling every protester a thug.

"You can't let the thugs take over the city."

4. Yep, personal property over lives. That is exactly where these guys stand. nt

5. Of course this crook's on the air. He's another one of America’s White Saviors™!

Just What the People of Ferguson Needed: A Lecture from Bill O’Reilly

3 days ago by Jesse Berney



Protests were peaceful in Ferguson, Missouri last night, thanks to the police duties being taken over by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, who apparently understand that policing a community means talking to people and working with them instead of clearing them off the streets with tear gas and rubber bullets.

But that’s not the only good news for Ferguson’s African-American community. They finally have the guidance and leadership they have long been craving. That’s right — Bill O’Reilly is here to tell black people how they should be acting.

Bill O’Reilly, America’s White Savior™, let the people of Ferguson know that they shouldn’t be rioting or looting, that they shouldn’t rush to judgment on what happened to Michael Brown, and that they shouldn’t decide Brown’s death is an injustice until Bill O’Reilly, America’s White Savior™, tells them to.

It’s a good thing that Bill O’Reilly, America’s White Savior™, has offered his advice to Ferguson’s African American community! Without his wisdom, they would hardly know how to react to the violence police brought into their communities. Why, they wouldn’t even know how to feel about cops who harass them on the street for no reason and shoot an unarmed boy. Truly they owe O’Reilly a debt of gratitude...
