The Police Thread

Watched this last night.
Oliver usually cuts to the heart of the matter, and this week is no exception.


I need to rewatch the bit about defunding the police.
There seemed like there was some logic to it, but I missed a minute or two and didn't get how it would actually work.

The woman at the end makes a lot of things clear.

it takes some doing to be left of bill maher but oliver manages to accomplish it.
 
Maher is all over the place. Pretty much everywhere but in the center. He often rips on the crybaby ultra-left in the same rant that he'll rip on the hardcore right over something else.

Oliver can be pretty left, but he usually delivers his commentary with a decent amount of fact and research. He ALWAYS delivers hysterical rants that are lightning speed, have great a rhythm, and a lot of F-U's that keep them entertaining.
 
Oh man! No cops!?! For how long? That's my favorite show. How else are people going see the good that cops do, in Florida especially?? That live cops show is crap, won't miss it. Love Dan abrams though. After it went off Fox it wasn't as good.
 
In a statement, Johnson & Johnson declared, "We are committed to taking actions to create tangible change for the Black community.⁣" Soon, when black protesters are injured by rubber bullets fired by police, they'll be able to cover the wounds with bandages that match their skin color. Tangible change, indeed! Wooh!

Ha! So this is what it takes for them to think of this idea? It never occurred to them before?

Wow, fox? no way? CNN has owned that space for a long time. I like the times their site producer gets on their knees and wails bloody murder! Gotta keep those viewers running through the ad breaks. My sources in seattle equate it to the Occupy protests. I'm just pissed I can't go to my favorite music store there in capital hill.
