Watch Geraldo Rivera Waste His Breath on FOX Talking About Cops Shooting Kids of Color

Giraldo might as well have been talking to a rock when he tried to explain to co-hosts that we need to pay attention to how people of color feel about cops. “If we, the most respected news organization in the nation, perhaps, don’t recognize the anguish of the people watching the 13-year-old’s life going out of his body, then we don’t deserve the ratings.

“And these people that do it……there will be no mercy for them,” he says to applause. He says the film he just made about rescuing those children is one of the best films he’s ever done- Academy Award level, he said.
