Late Wednesday on CNN Tonight, CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill verbally attacked police officers once again as he decried the notion that there are only a few “bad apples” in law enforcement and that they instead serve as “an occupying force in the hood.”

Two nights after he hailed the violence on the streets of Baltimore as “uprisings” against “police terrorism” instead of riots, Hill was asked by host Don Lemon to respond to comments made by a loved one belonging to one of the six Baltimore city police officers suspended due to the investigation into the death of Freddie Gray.
