In a moment that rivals noteworthy CNN panels that devolved into verbal chaos (examples here and here), Friday’s AC360 saw another inductee as CNN political commentator and former Congressional Black Caucus staffer Angela Rye irresponsibly, hypocritically, and recklessly declared that she’s never said a thing that’s anti-police but seconds later screamed that “rogue cops” go out so they can “shoot black people for sport.”

From the moment Rye dropped this vile talking point, fellow Democrat and St. Louis Police Officers Association representative Jeff Roorda understandably reacted with anger at “the most offensive thing I’ve ever heard on this network” and told Rye she should be ashamed of herself.

The contentious portion of the panel discussion started building when Roorda agreed with New York Times columnist Charles Blow’s feelings that “economic segregation” is behind the plight of African-Americans, but took this shot at Rye: “The politicians who are now attacking law enforcement like one of our fellow panelists are the ones that created that and allow it to continue.”

Rye responded by forcefully claiming that she’s never “said anything that was hate-filled or anything toward law enforcement” and urged Roorda to “start telling the truth on air because we have an awesome responsibility.”

When Rye read a statement from Black Lives Matters activists emphasizing that their actions have nothing to do with the murderous, police-killing gunman in Dallas, Roorda fired back by asking her if she ever saw what so-called protestors had done in Ferguson, Missouri (which, of course, included looting, destroying police cars, and burning down strip malls).

With no warning, Rye dropped this utterly childish declaration: “So what I think is very important for you to understand just like there are rogue cops who shoot black people for sport. There are rogue protesters.”

Roorda was visibly shocked and stated that, in all his CNN appearances, “[t]hat’s the most offensive thing I've ever heard on this network.”

When he maintained that police are not looking to be “mounting heads on the wall” but “save lives,” host Don Lemon had enough as he stepped in to call Rye out for her reckless behavior (albeit unsuccessfully):

LEMON: Angela, do you think it's inflammatory to say that police officers shoot black people for sport? RYE: No, I don't. I think that is exactly how I feel and when you look across this country at the data, when you look at why the folks in the streets are angry. We have been saying this for years, Don.

With Rye having dug in, Roorda informed her that “it’s because of that rhetoric” that’s “fomenting violence” and resulted in the murders of police officers. He continued by telling Rye “shame on you” and this did not assuage Rye’s uncontrolled diatribes and downright disrespectful behavior by telling Roorda that he’s “so arrogant” and doesn’t “listen” to him:

RYE: Sir, let me finish my thought because you — ROORDA: Shame on you! Shame on you! RYE: Shame on you! Why don't you be quiet! Why don't you listen? You’re so arrogant you can't even hear. ROORDA: Cause you’re saying the same things that led to murders last night. That’s why I’m not going to be quiet.

Lemon eventually wrestled control of the segment back and towards a commercial break but not before Rye concluded that “the blood is not” on her hands for the deaths of police officers:

The blood is not on my hands for telling the truth. There have been lynch mobs for decades. There have been killings for decades that we have been told we lied about before there was videotape and audiotape and conveniently during Alton Sterling's cold-hearted murder the other day, body cameras fell off. Don't tell me about how I'm doing — the blood is not on my hands, sir.
