Fox News anchor Jeanine Pirro said during her show on Sunday she agrees with the idea that the public needs to be “trained” to be more “sensitive” to police.
The comment came as Pirro, the host of “Justice With Judge Jeanine,” read off responses to a question she’d asked viewers earlier. The question alluded to the ongoing unrest over recent grand jury decisions in the cases of white cops who were cleared in the killings of unarmed black men.
Pirro asked her viewers: “Do police need to be retrained on how to be sensitive to the ‘minority community?'”
She then read a response she received from one viewer:
“No enough is enough,” the viewer wrote. “The general public needs to be trained to be more sensitive to the police and show them the respect they deserve.”
Pirro responded to the viewer simply: “I agree.”
Another viewer responded with an opposing view.
“Sure do,” the viewer wrote. “I seriously doubt this man would have been treated so harsh if he were white.”
But Pirro disagreed.
“You’re wrong,” Pirro said. “Did you notice the African American cop standing around?”

Correction: This post has been updated to make it clear Pirro was agreeing with a comment about the public in general, and not minorities.
This bit is like an old SNL skit. Except it’s not funny.
Edit: This brought to mind the N.W.A. song, “Fuck tha Police.”
Aye Carumba! Bizarro world.
Welcome to the Authoritarian States of America.
Do white people need to do the same?
Not to go all Godwin here, but this sounds more like 1930s Germany than the land of the free and home of the brave.
Yeah, those blacks deserve what they get for not being sensitive to the cops. Like when they walk too quickly…or not quickly enough. Or they put their hands in their pockets…or they take them out of their pockets…or they raise them.
Or they insist on breathing.
Jeannine Pirro is one of the most hateful and openly racist FoxNews talking heads.
She makes sociopaths seem like the kind of neighbors you want to have.
