Washington, D.C.-based Fox News correspondent Shannon Bream, who covers the Supreme Court, made the comments Wednesday during an appearance on Outnumbered. She and co-hosts Eric Bolling, Kennedy Montgomery and Harris Faulkner, who is black, were discussing whether the terrorist attacks in France justified the militarization of police forces in the United States.

Bolling noted that more heavily armed police would help deter “bad” guys, while Montgomery said, “Sometimes bad guys don’t look like bad guys.”

At that point, Bream chimed in: “That’s my question about these guys, because if we know they were speaking unaccented French and they had, you know, ski masks on, do we even know what color they were?” Bream said. “What the tone of their skin was. I mean, what if they didn’t look like typical bad guys?”
