Dennis Miller on LAPD beating: "Yeah! Get him!"

The same day NBC News correspondent George Lewis reported on NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw that FOX News Channel's FOX & Friends co-hosts E.D. Hill and Brian Kilmeade had laughed about the videotaped beating of an African American man by white police officers -- an act a top LAPD official described as "Rodney King-esque" -- CNBC's Dennis Miller aired the tape of the beating on the June 25 show, with producer and host Dennis Miller narrating the footage.

From the June 25 edition of CNBC's Dennis Miller:

MILLER: Officials in Los Angeles are vowing to bring to justice any police officers who broke the law during -- [as the officer strikes the suspect repeatedly] Yeah! Get him! -- ooh, sorry, who broke the law during the beating of a suspected car thief.

—J.C.
