Papantonio: GOP White Privilege Highlighted By Ferguson Comments
In a recent Fox News appearance, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani stated:
“I do believe that there is more interaction and more unfair interaction between police officers, white and black… But I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community. It’s because blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society.”
America's Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, appears on The Ed Schultz Podcast to discuss this, as well as the protests surrounding the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, including the recent protests from a select few St. Louis Rams players.
