Bill O’Reilly Thinks America Has Millions Of Cop Killers Running Around

The sad story of two New York police offices ambushed by a nut case as they sat in their patrol car has had the effect of driving many self-serving politicians and pundits nuts as well. The incidents of these brazenly exploitative hacks dishonoring the fallen officers is astonishing, even in these highly partisan times. It is unconscionable that so many insensitive and biased people effectively pardon the murderer by shifting the blame to everyone from President Obama to Al Sharpton to Eric Holder to Bill De Blasio to every well-intentioned protester who mourns for the lives of victims of police brutality.

For the benefit of those deliberately incendiary cretins, it is possible for people of good will to support the work of the majority of good police officers while at the same time criticizing the failings of the bad apples. In fact, it is the duty of citizens and officials to make that distinction and not cover up the misconduct of the few.

Weighing in on the side of the mental cases who can’t delineate between good and evil is Bill O’Reilly of Fox News. In an utterly unhinged rant that he delivered by phoning in to his own TV program while on vacation, O’Reilly went on at length about the responsibility of New York City Mayor De Blasio, who he accused of being incompetent and impotently demanded that “this is an individual who should resign today.” Then immediately after conceding that nobody but Ismaaiyl Brinsley was responsible for the murders, he contradicts himself again and charges the protesters with aiding and abetting him.

“Now Brinsley is the only one responsible for the deaths of the two police officers. No one else has blood on their hands. I want everybody to be clear about that. Aiding and abetting Brinsley and other maniacs – those protesters who yelled we want dead cops.”

So no one else has blood on their hands – except that a few blockheads out of some 25,000 marchers, who were elevated by O’Reilly to a status far beyond their actual impact, were de facto accomplices. Never mind that Brinsley probably never even knew they existed because he likely was not a Fox News viewer. From there O’Reilly fingers what he calls the “true villain in the case,” and according to him it isn’t Brinsley.

“Bill De Blasio, as I said, is incompetent. He was elected in an election in which few people voted. He is a machine politician. And he is an anti-police individual. […] This is an individual who should resign today – TODAY!

O’Reilly must get awfully tired of being ignored. Obviously De Blasio is not going to resign, nor should he. And while O’Reilly was right about the low voter turnout (something that is sadly too common in this country as evidenced by the midterm election last month), De Blasio received a whopping 73% of those who voted. But O’Reilly is only an advocate of democracy when his side prevails. It is typical of the deranged extremism for which he is so well known. And his brand of rancid hyperbole was in full effect last night when he painted a dystopic picture of America as a buzzing hive of cop killers.

“And there are millions of Brinsleys running around. Millions. Because our society in America does not hold them accountable.”

Bill O'Reilly

For the record, there were 27 police officers killed in the line of duty last year (of which only five were killed by ambush, Brinsley-style) according to FBI statistics. That is a tragedy for each and every one of those officers and their families, but it does not support the lunatic assertion that “millions of Brinsleys” are running around. And where O’Reilly gets the notion that cop killers are not held accountable is a complete mystery. They are among those who receive the harshest punishment of any criminal act. That is, if they even survive to stand trial.

Once again O’Reilly has managed to distort reality in a way that inflames his dimwitted audience and exacerbates division and unrest. He is incapable of grasping the intricacies of the social relationships between citizens and law enforcement. He only sees things through the prism of his elitist, wealthy, white privilege, which he insists does not exist. And, as usual, his contributions are hallmarked by ignorance and hatred and are counterproductive, if not overtly destructive.

  1. In all fairness Bill, part of keeping them accountable would have been to screen this nut for his capability to carry a gun.

  2. More hate, more insults and more dishonesty from Mark.

    “…a few blockheads…”

    At least a hundred anarchist punks were screaming, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” And as this is being typed, at least 500 hate-spewing protesters flying under the Communist-inspired ANSWER banner are refusing to do what Deblasio suggested – to put a hold on further protests until after the funerals for the slain officers.

    “…Brinsley never knew they existed, since he wasn’t a Fox News viewer…”

    CNN also played that video. In fact, Charles Rangel kept insisting that protesters didn’t chant that, until Erin Burnett played the video for him. That was delicious.

    Bill O’Reilly’s claim that there are millions of Americans who want to kill cops is probably false. But I guarantee you there are a lot of anarchist punks in every single major city that probably smile every time a cop is killed. I see bunches of them in Portland, OR every time a left-wing rally cranks up.

    It is the left-wing hypocrites that are sowing the seeds of destruction in connection to this incident.

    • Still on the case about the anarchists? Well if they indeed want such things then they are certainly extremists that cannot be condoned. I mentioned this before to you once already. However I also mentioned that the ones you right wingers have said have “blood on their hands” namely the Ferguson protestors and Mayor De Blaiso have called dor no such thing.

      Fox has even gone all the way to deceptively edit a clip of a Ferguson protestor to make it seem like she called for killing cops, when she did no such thing.

      The protestors want only one thing, that cops who kill those they try to apprehend should be reviewed and tried and convicted if they are found to have been acting in a manner inappropriate for their office. The story I mentioned above about that partixular protestor sums up their stance. Fox edited her saying “killer cops in cell blocks” to “kill cops” and passed it off as a mistake.

      While we’re the subject of accusing people or groups of having “blood on their hands” let me show an ACTUAL example of that.

      Some time ago Bill O’Rielly condemned a doctor known to perform abortions, calling him “Tiller the baby killer”.

      A short time after that Tiller was killed by a right winger who later admitted he had been influnced by Bill O’Rielly.

      That is what direct influence on a killing truly looks like, but not surprisingly O’ Rielly has never and would never admit to that, but is perfectly fine with laying blame on others for the same.

      • That edited tape occurred at a local Fox affiliate only. I have been home laid up with a bum knee for the past month, so I have seen all of FNC’s coverage of these protests, and they have never shown that edited tape. They don’t have to. That ‘Dead cops” chant proves the point.

        Compare that to the dishonestly edited clip of George Zimmerman’s 911 call. That clip originated with an NBC affiliate in Florida – and both NBC and MSNBC used it!!! NBC apologized for the incident, but they only did it via a released statement. They never apologized for it on the air.

        “The protesters only want one thing…”

        For many of them that’s probably true. But you still have a large chunk of them that want a lot more than that. Do you really think that ANSWER wants only that? No. Since much of their original motivation is outright Communist-oriented, they want changes that will just wreck this country if ever implemented.

        • Fox & Friends spliced video of the “dead cops” shouters with Al Sharpton speaking at a separate event and suggested that he, in the words of a Fox host, he was “calling to kill cops.” You must have been in the kitchen getting ice for your knee and missed it; I hope your leg feels better soon.

          This still hasn’t touched O’Reilly’s ridiculous claim that millions of Americans want to kill cops and those who do evade accountability. If that doesn’t make you and other Fox News viewers bolt upright and think, “Just how dumb does this guy, this network think I am?”, nothing will.

          • Your previous post zeroed in on a dishonestly edited clip from a protester in Ferguson, MO. and a Fox affiliate in St. Louis. That is the video clip that FNC has never used. When presented with this fact, you suddenly switch to a montage involving Al Sharpton. That deflection won’t work.

            • Is the knee pain medication affecting your eyesight? That was my first post on this thread. the previous post was by someone else.

              So, in falsely accusing me of “deflection,” I accept your begrudged acknowledgment that FNC deceptively edited the Sharpton video. Thanks.

    • Yep, a minority of assholes represent the whole — until it’s your side being tarred, and then you suddenly understand nuance and individuality.
