Michael Berry, a right-wing Texas-based radio host, is calling the black children at the pool who were abused by police "jungle animals."
you've got a ready-made crowd of people who don't have day jobs that are ready to storm the streets and threaten the cops."
According to Berry, the teens at the pool party were "amped up" and screaming "like jungle animals."
"I mean, this is wild, crazy, out of control," the radio host insisted. "Would you ever, when a cop showed up, he's got a gun... Now mind you, he didn't show up to a tea party, he showed up to reports of fights breaking out."
"He showed up to people, and yes, they're probably white people scared to death, peeking through the blinds, 'Oh, my God, there's a bunch of black people and they're out on the streets and they're fighting and carrying on, and they're playing that music from Jay Z.' And they're scared to death," he continued. "That's who his bosses are. He's there to keep the peace in his community."
