Protests in L.A.
October 4, 2016
Legal analysts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl looked west to Southern California, where a fatal shooting after a car chase has led to protests. In this instance, though, the 18-year-old dead man clearly had a gun and was an imminent threat. "There is an overall perception," Guilfoyle groused, "that has been perpetuated by a number of stories in the media. That's true even if it's an African American police officer trying to defend himself against an armed suspect." The Factor also criticized the knee-jerk anti-cop sentiment that seems to be growing: "There is a small segment of the population that doesn't care about the circumstances. Many of the protesters have been roughed up by the cops themselves or disrespected, they are anti-cop and don't want to hear the facts. And the media sympathizes with them!" Wiehl turned to a Connecticut school district that has banned clown costumes because can be perceived as a 'symbol of terror.' She defended the school board, saying, "You can be biased against clowns if those clowns are disrupting your school."
