Megyn Kelly and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) criticized new Attorney General Loretta Lynch as “insensitive” for saying she plans to investigate the Baltimore police department “moments before Officer Moore was laid to rest,” in New York as Kelly put it. But neither showed any sensitivity for #BlackLivesMatter protesters when King called Michael Brown “a thug and a goon” and said “the police officer did the right thing” by shooting and killing him.

KING: There’s been such a series of lies and smears and slander against the police in our country over the last four, five, six months I guess going back to last summer with the Ferguson, where a whole series of lies about hands up, don’t shoot. The fact is, the police officer did the right thing and Michael Brown was a thug and a goon – he was a criminal.

And it was as simple as that and yet the police are the ones who are blamed for that. In the final analysis, the cop was vindicated, the national media was silent on it. There were riots in the street and the cops got blamed for that also.

Kelly murmured her agreement as King spoke. She said, “Folks have taken a few incidents – many of which have turned out to be completely falsely represented - and run with the narrative.”

King claimed “most” of those cases “have turned out to have been untrue.”

And “exploited by people who have an agenda,” Kelly accused.

I can only think of one case that turned out to be “untrue” and that was Michael Brown. But that’s only if you think that the fact that Brown probably did not have his hands up and if you agree that the Ferguson, Missouri police officer acted reasonably in shooting him. If you care about the fact that Brown was unarmed and shot and killed from eight to ten feet away, his case was as true as Freddie Gray’s in Baltimore along with Eric Garner in New York, Tamir Rice in Ohio, Walter Scott in South Carolina and probably more.

But Kelly wasn’t done bashing black folks. She complained about Attorney General Lynch’s announcement “moments before Officer Moore was laid to rest.” Kelly added, “The timing didn’t look all that sensitive.”

King piled on. “To me it was the height of irresponsibility to be doing that at the same time that this brave cop… was being laid to rest. …The fact is everyone in America should be giving medals to the cops and Brian Moore.”

I’m a pro-cop person myself.  But I also know something of the fear of being inappropriately stopped and questioned by the police.  By dismissing those concerns in the black community - which undoubtedly suffers more than I have - Fox isn’t just unfair and imbalanced, it actively seeks to create more division and distrust.

Shame on them.
