The Two Words CNN Anchor Used to Describe Shooting on Dallas Police HQ Is Dropping Jaws

CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield called the shooting on Dallas police headquarters Saturday "courageous and brave."

Perhaps aware of a misspeak, she added "if not crazy as well" as she discussed the incident with CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway:

“It was very courageous and brave, if not crazy as well, to open fire on the police headquarters, and now you have this scene, this standoff. So you believe these are the hallmarks of more than one person’s involvement.”

Here's the clip:

And here are some reactions to Whitfield's words:
