After Paris Attack, Fox Anchor Suggests Skin Color Can Help Identify "Typical Bad Guys"
Fox News anchor and Supreme Court correspondent Shannon Bream reacted to a Paris terror attack by suggesting certain skin tones are more typical of "bad guys" than others.
On the January 7 edition of Fox News' Outnumbered, the panel of hosts discussed the terror attack on the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that left 12 dead. Co-host Kennedy Montgomery suggested profiling may not always be an effective prevention policy because "sometimes bad guys don't look like bad guys."
Bream echoed the sentiment and wondered whether the ability to identify the skin color of the assailants in Paris would have helped law enforcement in this case. Bream suggested profiling may not be effective in situations where criminals are wearing masks or where the tone of their skin doesn't "look like typical bad guys," apparently implying that certain skin tones should raise red flags for law enforcement:
BREAM: That's my question about these guys. If we know they were speaking unaccented French and they had ski masks on, do we even know what color they were, what the tone of their skin was? I mean, what if they didn't look like typical bad guys? As we define them when we think about terror groups.
The hosts also weighed other options for preventing similar attacks in the United States. Montgomery recommended arming all American citizens, saying, "I think the best thing that Americans can do is arm themselves."

Why can't we get some terrorist to bomb Fox News? These terrorists are misdirecting like a ? ? .
-
Do he looks at himself in the mirror and see one of the greatest criminals in history?
-
All I read was profile everyone who is not white
-
Well since we're profiling....we might as well be fair & add white people to the list too. Historically they have the criminal game on lock.
-
Lol no way
-
west Africans, native Americans, aboriginals, Hawaiians and native south americans should have identified those strangers from another world as typical bad guys based on skin tone
-
As of right now Dish Network the GOAT. I don't have FOX
-
Black = thug
Arab = terrorist

Would we feel bad if some terrorists opened fire on a Fox news meeting -

I know the man profiles me, so I profile him as well either as a criminal by definition or self-interest laden hypocrite.

That was some sickening ass videos. Fear Mongering to say the least. One more thing though... one of the police officers that were killed in Paris, the one we have video of his killing, was named Ahmed Merabet.... A muslim..... It's clear as ever that fox news job is to push only one group of peoples agenda. Why not just go after the "bad guys" instead of "bad guys" that fit a description. If that police officer would have been killed by anyone else, they'd be happy that a muslim was killed.

She said, "I mean, what if they didn't look like typical bad guys? As we define them when we think about terror groups."
Sounds like she is saying that focusing on a particular group (racial profiling, e.g.) can let the real criminals get away.
This is overblown. It's not clear that she was endorsing racial profiling or anything of the sort.
