Trevor Noah Examines Jacob Blake Shooting on 'The Daily Show'
“No matter how many times I watch these videos, I’ll never get used to how quickly police go from issuing commands to using deadly force,” Noah said.
“Once again, the pattern repeats itself: An unarmed black person is shot by the cops. In response, people go into the streets. More law enforcement is sent in, and the chaos only continues to build,” Noah said. “No one drives into a city with guns because they love someone else’s business that much. That’s some bullshit. No one ever thought, ‘That’s my solemn duty to pick up a rifle and protect that T.J. Maxx.’ They do it because they’re hoping to shoot someone.
Noah continued: “Not only have black people been mistreated for generations by the police, but, because there is almost never any police accountability, these incidents remain an open wound, and the pain and anger just builds and builds with no closure or relief. Black people are tired of hearing ‘I’m sorry’ and then nothing happening, because essentially what they’re really hearing is ‘I’m sorry this is happening, and that it’s going to happen again.
