Bill O'Reilly Defends 'Stop And Frisk' Racial Profiling

"Bill O'Reilly defended what he readily called "racial profiling" in New York during his Tuesday appearance on Fox News' morning show, "Fox & Friends." O'Reilly charged that Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposal to decriminalize small amounts marijuana possession had more to do with racial profiling than drugs...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

O'Reilly is no true conservative. Our founding fathers never would have accepted "Stop and Frisk."

Legalize drugs use for adults - problem solved.

[LemUUU]

They who would sacrifice essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither, and are doomed to lose both.

I was stopped and frisked.... when I protested that: "This is a free country" I had a cop tell me verbatim "IF THE COUNTRY WAS FREE THERE WOULD BE NO LAWS." This is the level of legal intellect employed by the NYPD.

Steal a trillion dollars from the taxpayers? Have a bonus. Got a bag of weed? Here is a fine.

Bill said this "and this is about racism, this is a racial story not a drug story."

[patworx]

This law wouldn't even be necessary if weed were decriminalized.

Bill O'Reilly: "Racial profiling = criminal profiling."

His words, not mine.

[InsufferablePrick]

Profiling is rational and therefore good and therefore not racist.
Profile with pride!

"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."

[talkindurinthemovie]

He calls the people being profiled criminals solely based on their race.

[talkindurinthemovie]

Hating O'Reilly is becoming exhausting....

[bmcmanus]

I didn't state anything about welfare nor condone drug use. I have condemned racial profiling. The laws are part of the problem.

[Vetgo]

You know what? I'm not even surprised that Bill O'Reilly would defend something like this

[prepschoolkid]

The vast majority of people who are stopped and frisked are innocent.

[whatsgoingon]

Bill O'Reilly deserves to be Rick Roll'd over and over again for the rest of his days

[StanwoodSpartans]

Bill O Reilly sparks up blunts when hes sitting at home.

He wants marijuana all to himself.

[markspencexx]

Arresting people once they have committed a crime is somewhat more problematic that stopping them for a chat before they may be about to commit a crime.

[medittruth]

Funny how some people don't have a problem with "stop-and-frisk", but they feel limiting the size of soda is tyranny.

[MagnificentMelkior]

Good thing I'm not a crack head and don't carry packets of powder with me, or any drugs.
