Barkley criticized the audience , many of whom are community activists , saying he didn ' t believe that any of them had expressed sympathy for the families of four police officers who were shot Sunday in separate incidents around the United States . When Diane Butler , the mother of Tyrone West , a local man who died after a 2013 struggle with police following a traffic stop , told Barkley , I don ' t know you , I don ' t like you , chiding him for empathizing with police for having to make splitsecond decisions . Barkley did not back down . I ' m sorry for your loss , said Barkley , then adding , As far as you not liking me , it really doesn ' t bother me . I ' m used to it . I ' m like the homecoming queen . All the ugly girls hate you . That ' s part of my life . I never take anything personally .
