Fox News Brian Kilmeade on Thursday said that people protesting against police violence towards Black Americans should never be allowed to call 911 again.
Kilmeade’s remarks came as the Fox & Friends panel discussed the fatal shootings of Daunte Wright and Ma’Khia Bryant on Thursday.
“In Minnesota, protesters were yelling at police ‘get the blank out’ and in New York at that local restaurant, ‘we don’t want you here,’” Ainsley Earhardt said in reference to ongoing unrest over the killings.
“Good. Do you know what? You should be barred from — anyone who says that, you are no longer allowed to use 911,” Brian Kilmeade responded.

He added: “Let’s just hope, in your life, you never need a police officer.”
The commentators argued that the police officers involved in such incidents may have just made “a really tough call, or the wrong call, in the moment”.
Pete Hegseth concluded the segment by saying: “All that’s gonna mean is less cops and more crime. The equation is quite simple,” before adding: “maybe that’s what they want.”
