Appearing on Fox’s O’Reilly Factor, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump didn’t get the deferential treatment he has come to expect when he makes his almost nightly visit to Sean Hannity’s show, as host Bill O’Reilly tried to rein him Monday night when he started talking about policing policies.
Discussing crime rates in Chicago — a favorite of target for conservatives – Trump went on to say that he thinks cops are handling suspects with kid gloves and that they need to be able to clamp down on suspects.
“I know police in Chicago,” Trump began. “If they were given the authority to do it, they would get it done.”
“How?” O’Reilly asked.
“How? By being very much tougher than they are right now,” Trump asserted. “They’re right now not tough. I could tell you this very long and quite boring story, but when I was in Chicago, I got to meet a couple of very top police. I said, ‘How do you stop this?'”
According to Trump, one of his unnamed “top” Chicago cops told him, “Mr. Trump, I’d be able to stop it in one week,” with Trump saying the cops want to use undefined “tough police tactics.”
O’Reilly jumped in by telling Trump, “You need a warrant to arrest people. You can’t beat them up ! You have to have a warrant to arrest them! You have to –” only to be cut off by Trump who wasn’t interested in going into details.
“All I know is this,” Trump blustered. “I went to a top police officer in Chicago, who is not the police chief, and I could see by the way he was dealing with his people, he was a rough, tough guy, they respected him greatly.”
Trump then repeated the same story over again about “tough tactics,” only to have O’Reilly ask: “But he didn’t tell exactly precisely how?”
“No,” Trump replied as if the case was closed. “Because I’m not the mayor of Chicago.”
It took several rounds last night before BOR finally seemed to acquiesce to Trump's point. Watch the video, see for yourself, especially from 8:38-9:21 where Trump blamed the media for their part of the problem which finally backed BOR off.

If Bill O'Reilly is the "No Spin Zone", why is my head spinning after I watch his show?
O’Reilly is a Mccain sympathiser and a traitor
Bill has a lot of issues.
Does anyone watch O’Blowhard anymore? Why?
True dat
Trump is a wuss, I want this guy Duterte from the Philippines.
“Duterte characterized the two U.N. human rights experts who called for an end to the extralegal killings last week as “very stupid,” and told the U.N. to stop “worrying about the bones of criminals piling up” and instead focus on fulfilling its mandate of preventing conflict and alleviating suffering around the world.
“I do not want to insult you. But maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations,” he said.
As for the repercussions of such a move, Duterte promised he doesn’t “give a shit.”
Why is this “Breaking News”? BOR goes on a rant every other day.
BOR is a real as when he tries to trip up Trump.
There goes the asshole BOR pretending to be “fair and balanced” and cutting edge again. Why doesn’t everybody realize what a egotistical, grandstanding, self serving bonafide PHONY this bastard is? I haven’t had a tv for 8 years now, and I was sick and tired of this bloviating SOB way back even before that time.
not watched him in about 3 years now.
O’Reilly was a jerk. Not sure why Trump put up with his insistence.
O’Bloviator shouldn’t have ANY guests on his show - he never lets them talk anyway.
He’d be perfectly happy with a one-hour monologue/diatribe.
this is breaking news?
I’m sure that you support BLM too. Duterte sure does.

Cops have been so restricted the don’t do anything, so maybe threatening to arrest sooner would be better.
Nothing to do with beatings.
O’Reilly is an ignorant man.
May I impose on a few minutes of your time:
Clear you mind, your BO’R and your walking down a street in New York City, maybe coming out of a restaurant or something, and you hear noise behind you, you look around, don’t see anything, keep walking, then a car goes by and ‘bamb, bamb, bamb’ the bullets missed you, but just barely, now picture if you will the first person BO’R calls, you got it, 911, “I’ve just been shot at and I’m BO’R from FNC”...bet he would like the police to be real nasty to those gang bangers then wouldn’t he???
Thank you for your time...
