Tavis Smiley Gets in Bill O’Reilly’s Face About Police Brutality
Radio and television host Tavis Smiley appeared on The OReilly Factor to spar with Bill OReilly about the police brutality problem in America.
OReilly began the program by disparaging anti-police brutality protesters across the country. Conservative cop lovers like OReilly tend to downplay violent incidents in which the police are the aggressors. He believes these are all isolated incidents. Smiley then corrected OReilly.
My question to you, Bill OReilly, is: How many isolated incidents equal a pattern?
At this point, OReilly backpedaled and dodged the question, something that he accused Smiley of doing earlier in the debate."
*OReilly tried to use the fact that people of all races are attacked by police to undermine and downplay the problem of violence. Smiley uses the fact to highlight the problem. When there are violent police whose only goal is to hurt people, then everyone is in danger. Thats something Bill OReilly doesnt seem to grasp."
