Tucker Carlson gives friendly interview to police officer who said Black people “probably ought to be” shot more

Tucker Carlson interviewed Major Travis Yates of the Tulsa, Oklahoma police department.

Earlier this week, Yates had said in a radio interview that he does not believe systematic racism exists; he also claimed in that interview that Black people “probably ought to be” shot more by police. The Tulsa police department has subsequently opened an investigation into Yates.
