Bill Maher argued on his program Friday night that the shutdown of the country over the coronavirus pandemic potentially played a role in the violence that erupted across the country recently, with the “Real Time” host expressing concern over the long-term impact on the burden on police departments regularly battling unrest related to the death of George Floyd.
The perspective from Maher comes as protests in cities big and small continue across the country this weekend over the death of Floyd, who died in police custody while officer Derek Chauvin pinned the 46-year-old black man to the ground while kneeling on his neck. The officer has since been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, while three other officers at the scene have been charged with aiding and abetting murder.
