law enforcement association. but when you re offended, it doesn t necessarily mean that speech on the other side should be shut down. they re free to their feelings i asked if they re punished for it, that s the problem. paying customers coming to see a football game and you re raising your hand in sympathy with a group who believes that white police officers are hunting down black youths. that s what they believe. the stated belief, juan. it s a stated belief. those football players didn t state that. they re sympathizing with the group who has stated it. you think anybody who s upset over ferguson if they raised their hands in the don t shoot movement, yes, i do. directly ahead, did the mob violence following the ferguson s grand jury decision actually set back race relations in america? we ll talk with the attorney for michael brown s family about that. and, this special edition of the factor continues. save $45 on carhartt duck active jackets.
of the organizations like the, you know, like al sharpton, for example. the president of the united states should not be inviting into the white house, forget about all the other sin that s al sharpton committed and he s a tax cheat and all that, but you go back to the originals, the tijuana brouly case which was an out and out hoax of a black girl distressed black girl making a false deliberately false accusation of rape against a deputy i think it was a prosecutor in new york state. sharpton was behind that the whole way. in the end, he said sue me. and he was in fact sued by the guy, found to have defamed him and then never ended up actually paying the fine. so this was this was adjudicated in the court. and a man who does that, who stokes racial hatred deliberately should not be anywhere near the white house.
the pattern is minuscule. bill. 123 as opposed to 143 million is minuscule. tell the parents of these precious young children. everyone values life. if it were your child, you would not call this minuscule, bill. that s disrespectful, my friend. it s not you re taking my remarks out of context. it s not minuscule that the man died. the amount of police shootings are minuscule and more whites three to one are killed than blacks. bill, do you not see in the era of the first black president, i might add, do you not, for those that thought we were going to live in a post racial america because he got elected which was nonsense then, do you not see a pattern here where black val life is devalued? i don t because the statististi statistics don t show there is a pattern.
americans are not. because cops target blacks. no, because cops have a different value than the system has a different value toward black life. which is why black life matters. i couldn t disagree with you more. mr. powell, do you believe that most american police agents, 670,000 of them, don t like you because the of the color of injure skin? i believe that we live in a country that is so rooted in racism, it permeates every aspect of society. and how does that define itself? am i a racist? do i come across as someone that doesn t ask black people? even your opening memo, the way you presented all that stuff about black people, i m sitting here thinking to myself, you know what? i can say the same thing about young white males who committed most of the majority of mass shootings in this country. i wouldn t say that. because i m not going to say that all white men are racist. do you dispute the statistics? yeah. manufacture the crimes out there from wall street crimes t
