Fox host says people protesting against police should be banned from dialling 911

A Fox News host has suggested that individuals protesting against police violence towards Black Americans should never be allowed to call 911 again. Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade made the comments on Thursday while discussing the fatal shootings of Daunte Wright and Ma’Khia Bryant. Both Wright and Bryant were killed by police officers, in shootings which have since sparked unrest in the country. Responding to a comment from co-host Ainsley Earhardt about protesters shouting “get the blank out” and “we don’t want you here”, Kilmeade responded: “Anyone who says that, you are no longer allowed to use 911.”
