Bill Maher criticized both sides of the Ferguson conflict, calling it “disturbing” that so many tend to “side with their own people” rather than looking at the facts.
“The cops, I saw on the news a couple of weeks ago, were wearing bracelets or something that said, “I am Darren Wilson.” Why do you want to throw your lot in with this plain murderer?” Maher wondered.
“And Michael Brown’s people,” he continued. “I’m sorry, but Michael Brown’s people say he is a gentle giant. Well, we saw that video of when he was in that 7-11. No, he wasn’t a gentle giant. He was committing a robbery and he pushed that guy. He was acting like a thug, not a gentle giant.”
“He certainly didn’t deserve to be shot for it,” Maher clarified.
