The only problem with this video is that it's ALWAYS relevant.
-
love how people immediately jump to "BLM sucks" when the show didn't even mention them. you're acknowledging your own prejudice.
-
“people instinctually trust the cops” minority groups have left the chat
-
When I was a kid, I said I wanted to be a police officer because then I couldn't go to jail. (Keep in mind, I was 5 at the time.) My mom replied, "That's not how it works." But it is.
-
Can we re-air this episode? I feel like we REEAAALLLLYYYYY need it...
-
Not surprised in the slightest that John Oliver has already covered this issue.
-
I still can't believe the Tamir Rice shooter, after knowing that he was a troubled officer, no one got charged. They literally drove straight up to the literal kid, and literally jumped out of the car and killed the kid before the car even came to a stop. It was a straight up drive by shooting and murder.
-
i've watched this video before and yet the part where the kids in school are writing "please don't shoot" on a piece of paper still makes me cry every time. This is not ok.
-
Jesus if you didn’t tell me it was 3 years old I’d think it was this weeks episode
-
It's ironic that the phrase "Snitches get stitches" is associated with gangsters but the police have a very similar policy.
-
Honestly the biggest difference between this episode and the one that was released today is that John has become a lot more firm in his positions. There’s no “sometimes it’s ok for the police to shoot video” instead it’s “the police need to be rebuilt from the ground up or else nothing is going to change and innocent people are going to keep dying” and I love it
-
local prosecutors working with cops, and then they are supposed to prosecute them? this is a massive issue that needs to change
-
A classroom full of 1st graders has a combined experience of 30 years of school. That does not make each of them all as smart as a PhD.
-
This episode SHOULD NOT be relevant almost 4 years later. But it is.
-
7:47 This is why people say most cops are corrupt - the good ones either get shunned, forced out, or quit
-
"We want justice for_____ now!!" I'm leaving it blank because there's so many names that could go there and so many more since this aired 3 years ago
-
Funny that the same people that say "it's just a few bad apples" also fear the "three poisoned skittles in a bowl", so paradoxical, almost like a zen riddle ...
-
I can't believe I watched this for 16 minutes before I realized this was FOUR YEARS OLD. Holy shit nothings changed.
-
“Just a few bad apples.” Damn, they were saying the exact same shit three years ago. They gotta change that playbook.
-
Here 2020. John Oliver is truly a man ahead of the times. Wow, just WOW.
