I guess it’s just unlucky that protesters happen to keep meeting with the bad 1% over, and over, and over again (One stain)

“Now, to be fair, the Democrats weren’t just kneeling and wearing kente cloth. They also unveiled police reform legislation that would make some pretty big changes, such as banning no-knock warrants in drug cases, which allowed police to enter into the home and kill Breonna Taylor in Louisville in April, and make chokeholds a civil rights violation. And it would make it easier to prosecute police who use excessive force, which is virtually impossible now. Like now, you need to catch them on video, then have a [District Attorney] that’s willing to prosecute them, then have a jury that actually wants to hold cops accountable. Then, after all that, you still need to find the cops Horcrux and destroy it, otherwise they just get to go right back out on the force.” —Trevor Noah

“Meanwhile, Trump doubled down on his backing of police, telling reporters: ‘I say 99.9, but let’s go with 99% of [cops] are great, great people.’ Yes, 99% of all police are great people. And I guess it’s just unlucky that protesters happen to keep meeting with the bad 1% over, and over, and over again.” —Trevor Noah

“I’m not saying that all cops are bad. But the problems with the police are much more widespread than Trump is acknowledging. Because every single time – every single time – a police department gets audited, or investigated, the results that come back time and time again show deep rot and systemic issues often from the top. It’s like turning on a black light in a hotel room – there’s no way you’re only going to find one stain.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
