Weighing in on the conflict in Ferguson, Missouri, he urged people on both sides to 'look at the facts'.

Maher may be an ass but unlike many on the left he will from time to time stumble upon the truth and say it out loud.

I don;t deserve to be shot either Bill.
To that end I think I will choose not to attack an armed police officer and attempt to take his weapon.

And if Brown had been shot by another thug, few of us would have ever known about it.

Remember that in 2012 Maher gave ONE MILLION to an Obama SUPER PAC.......

Wonder if he'd like a refund?

When you attack police, sometimes you die.

Partly true. But he likes to head fake to the right to bring in more conservative viewers....It all about ratings which translates into what he is paid.
Bill O'Reailly head fakes to left....its all about rating and keeping some kind of "independent" image which the sheeple like, like that free lancer image
All about imaging and positioning same as Obama does

From the comments:

"Maher's trying to avoid controversy by saying Brown didn't deserve to be shot and still calling him a thug. He's taking the coward's way out by not taking a real stance."

+1.

It was obvious that Brown was "a thug" within days. It's now obvious -- based on the Grand Jury leaks -- that he did "deserve to be shot" (or at least -- I'm an old white guy, and I'd expect to be shot if I did what Brown did). Maher is weeks behind the news, and he is still an idiot.

Holder's legacy as attorney general, a position he has held since the start of the Obama administration, has been largely shaped by his vocal advocacy for racial justice.

More like 'racial favortism'..

But unrest in the St Louis city between the majority Caucasian police force and African American community shows no signs of dying down.

The 'African American' community was part of the city that elected white officials to oversee the police department. Black adults and white adults elected mostly white city officers.

The outbursts have been exacerbated by leaks from the grand jury.

When was the last time a reporter gave the floor to a bunch of white disgruntled men in their twenties... and allowed them to speak for 'the white community'?

Memo to those wanting emulate Michael Brown:

Don’t attack cops. It doesn’t end well for you.

It really shouldn’t be that difficult a concept to grasp.

Maher wanting to have it both ways. Maher: Brown was a thug, but he didn’t deserve to get shot. The truth: he was a thug who was destined to get himself shot and killed by someone.

Some people "need killing"; he was one of them.
