Fact -- segment tonight the Los Angeles police department says it will reopen its investigation into the controversy.
That led to the firing of former Los Angeles Police officer Christopher -- Warner.
-- has murdered three people in revenge for that fire and he says was racially motivated.
The -- -- his training officer of kicking a suspect that the LAP.
So -- the question is do you do -- achieve a propaganda victory by having the case real LA police chief Charlie back.
I hear that ghosts of the past the Los Angeles police department here that that people think that maybe.
There is something to what he sets and I want to put that to rest and I the only way and ought to put that to rest is to review.
What is already been reviewed -- multiple levels but it has never been reviewed by me.
And joining us -- Washington Mary Katharine Ham Juan Williams both Fox News Dallas and you say one.
I think this is a Smart move by the chief I think on two levels too quick points bill one as.
I think that if he can lord to order and by making -- think there's some way that his name might be clear he can get Jeff this.
If he can get him at the tremendous hostage negotiation tactic.
And I understand -- point number two.
In terms of the black community in -- you remember the OJ Simpson case.
And the OJ Simpson case I think that verdict nobody thinks OJ with anything they that was a verdict against the Los Angeles police department and they -- history.
Of racism police brutality and here's the chief saying.
Hey look I know about that that's what he's just talking about when he says ghost of the path.
And he's saying don't make this guy anti hero he's no martyr -- any racial cause you the terrorist you've that killer.
We're gonna get.
All right -- Mary -- you say.
I think all of dangerous is I think unfortunately it it adds credence to be quarters some places on FaceBook on the left of activists who are thinking -- discuss some sort of folk hero who's bringing light to subject.
Well he's allegedly murdered in three and cold blood three people.
And we have to keep that it might and I do think this sort of sets up but a narrative where you're.
Rewarding bad behavior and if if there's not a day at a belief that you can actually communicate this with -- -- -- some come some kind of negotiation I'm not sure that that's.
A Smart situation to be it.
Do you think -- that reopening the investigation that was pretty thorough I mean I read through it today and a judge an independent judge.
But I just want -- tell -- -- when that some police departments investigate their own song.
Forget it.
They -- wash -- I've I've seen that throughout my career all right some police departments are good -- New York City they're tough.
Yeah -- -- New York City.
You pay a price for other police departments in the surrounding metropolitan area I'm not gonna name and forget it.
Ignited the rally around them there and their people.
And they're gonna protect.
Their gaps and and unions have a lot to do with that.
But here wind.
We have by a police chief who I think is an honest guys trying his hardest showing a little bit a weakness.
Instead -- say look we did this right way.
We had a judge independently look at it on appeal.
There's no corroborating evidence that the officer kicked anybody there's no physical evidence on the victim at all -- that he was kicked.
Right salt sorry.
What we -- was the right thing this guy's a murder he's insane.
We're gonna punish him and that's that.
Well but you've got to remember to think about is that you -- as the public relations.
It was that -- really believes that people hate the police that they would justify.
Murdering three innocent people this guy Marty I really believe want it.
Are going to say oh yeah.
Now I got us the LA body weight and the Hamas my -- -- are leaders am I talking to Bill O'Reilly Bill O'Reilly that you know rap music they glorified gangster rapper killers of all kinds killing children when Johnny come -- So the idea that they would say the cops.
Our -- -- -- their brutal of course I think that.
I got I think you that you know that that's a reality and admit I'm gonna change your airline alliance by any investigation.
Unless the investigation would tell you have to.
-- got hallways didn't we were wrong which is -- -- gonna ascent.
They might think it's racially justified and it's not by the way you should know the victim in this case the -- allegedly got kicked with a white guys Sundays does it out of the it's out of the question is how some outraged at my -- there is trying to justify it in that way.
And that you have got on our current police I don't know -- the police -- listen and -- -- Mary -- go yeah look I think that there are already people justifying his behavior and being sympathetic to him based on his manifesto which -- -- haters eliminate -- No matter what I think.
Yeah believe it right I agree with you leading them down that road and I think giving them something to believe that there -- in the right I think is a bad idea.
And -- and I don't I'm not here either to bashed LAPD or hold them -- list could certainly.
In this pursuit already two civilians have been injured by the police while trying to catch -- evidence they're certainly not -- you know and that's I LA what he's foiled.
What it actually data can be the LA baby's -- not only is it.
My point is that that we are not here to hold the LAPD completely fall as -- stated they don't make -- and -- investigations.
Also off on hole that we LAPD completely -- Mary Katherine I plan on doing right now.
You don't want to hire because if you -- they -- contrary.
On -- on this investigation that's fine how that point of view I'm just saying in general as police or aren't go well not everybody every police -- we are.
Makes mistakes okay this one -- they still don't you just knew -- -- his behavior by saying I want I understand why the chief is doing it.
-- -- -- -- -- Condemned the chief for doing and I -- think it sends a way as a message of weakness I don't think you can change anybody's mind.
I don't old one put out the report but not reopen investigation -- -- people can see what how.
Yeah.
O'Reilly or Kodak man I mean you understand that he is making a sucker out of garner ultimately nobody thought this could be a good -- then maybe we'll see.
Primary -- -- thank you.
