"Real Time" host Bill Maher on Friday responded to recent fatal police shootings in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Maher called the female officer facing manslaughter charges after shooting unarmed black man, Terence Crutcher, in Tulsa last Friday, "a victim of bad police training."
"Police do not train the way they should," he said during a panel discussion with guests. "If you're that nervous, you can't do this job."
"We don't know whether he had a gun," Maher said of Keith Lamont Scott, the victim of another fatal police shooting in Charlotte on Tuesday. "But even if he did, you don't have to kill every time somebody does something that makes you nervous. We have to train our police to not be that guy who just empties the clip."
