Mark Fuhrman was the racist cop that was an substantial part of the OJ Simpson investigation and trial. Fox News really liked the racism part, and made him an analyst/contributor. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Not only did the tapes prove he had lied under oath in an earlier deposition when he claimed not to have used the N-word in the last 10 years, but fearful of further perjuring himself, Fuhrman asserted his right to remain silent when asked if he planted or manufactured any evidence in the Simpson investigation.
It’s hard to look at that testimony — a nationally broadcast justification of the suspicions many people had about corrupt police officers violating the rights of African-American suspects with impunity — and not draw a line to the Black Lives Matter protest movement, which burst on the national scene, and into American politics, when Michael Brown was killed by Police Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Nineteen years earlier, Americans justly skeptical of law enforcement didn’t have phone cameras and Twitter, but they did have Fuhrman, under oath, declining to answer whether or not he screwed with evidence in a murder case.”*

nikka!!!!!!!!!!!! The arroagance & lack of self-awarness of this nikka!!!!
crazy how what he said still resonates 22 years later.
Awful. I saw it some time last year. It focused more on Nicole and OJ's relationship leading up to her death. They showed the incident with OJ smashing the Ferrari with the baseball bat.
