Episode 13 - Trevor Noah Lies for Rayshard Brooks and Black Lives Matter
We take a look a Trevor Noah's latest stumping for Black Lives Matter, this time publishing outright falsehoods about the shooting of Rayshard Brooks. Is this a case of lying or lazy by the regressive left?
Franklin also breaks down how the spreading of misinformation and propaganda like this video has a cancerous effect on the country, especially young people and blacks in inner cities.

0:00:00.000,0:00:06.720
a-another video either purposely or
0:00:04.410,0:00:10.110
negligently retelling the case of
0:00:06.720,0:00:13.049
Rashard Brooks and today we're going to
0:00:10.110,0:00:15.660
find an answer as to which one of those
0:00:13.049,0:00:17.970
two things is the motivation behind this
0:00:15.660,0:00:21.000
video from Trevor Noah
0:00:17.970,0:00:24.240
why did Rashard Brooks have to lose his
0:00:21.000,0:00:27.480
life a simple question with a simple
0:00:24.240,0:00:32.309
answer really the answer being that he
0:00:27.480,0:00:35.760
showed up drunk as can be passed out in
0:00:32.309,0:00:38.010
a Wendy's drive-through took over a half
0:00:35.760,0:00:41.399
hour just to get the guy to give a
0:00:38.010,0:00:44.789
coherent story and when he was arrested
0:00:41.399,0:00:47.489
for clearly driving intoxicated he
0:00:44.789,0:00:50.550
decided to resist arrest assault both
0:00:47.489,0:00:54.360
officers steal a Taser and shoot both of
0:00:50.550,0:00:57.120
them with it but here we are going to
0:00:54.360,0:00:59.730
see how we were going to muddy the
0:00:57.120,0:01:02.190
waters hear from Trevor Noah as you can
0:00:59.730,0:01:05.659
see a very discouraging like to dislike
0:01:02.190,0:01:07.979
ratio and that people are positively
0:01:05.659,0:01:11.850
reacting to the spreading of this kind
0:01:07.979,0:01:13.680
of Miz's information from again an
0:01:11.850,0:01:16.530
encounter with the police officer that
0:01:13.680,0:01:19.920
is entirely documented on video and
0:01:16.530,0:01:23.070
should be no confusion about the matter
0:01:19.920,0:01:26.880
for a very clearly justifiable shooting
0:01:23.070,0:01:28.710
on the behalf of officer Rolfe so let's
0:01:26.880,0:01:36.689
get into the very beginning of this
0:01:28.710,0:01:39.030
video what's crazy is another Monday in
0:01:36.689,0:01:44.909
the middle of Corona and in the middle
0:01:39.030,0:01:47.939
of protests and yet it's another Monday
0:01:44.909,0:01:50.369
of another police brutality incident
0:01:47.939,0:01:52.890
like another story no it isn't no it
0:01:50.369,0:01:54.930
most certainly is not this has nothing
0:01:52.890,0:01:58.340
to do with police brutality Rashard
0:01:54.930,0:02:01.619
Brooks was not brutalized by anyone
0:01:58.340,0:02:04.350
again we've had videos on this and sure
0:02:01.619,0:02:07.280
countless content creators have had
0:02:04.350,0:02:10.679
videos on the race yard Brooks video so
0:02:07.280,0:02:15.060
it's not surprising because so much of
0:02:10.679,0:02:19.190
the interaction and every available
0:02:15.060,0:02:21.780
piece of evidence is publicly available
0:02:19.190,0:02:24.750
the entire interaction is caught on
0:02:21.780,0:02:26.879
video we have audio of the entire
0:02:24.750,0:02:30.660
conversation we have the audio of the
0:02:26.879,0:02:33.810
9-1-1 call the laws that officer Ralph
0:02:30.660,0:02:36.090
and his partner who were unjustifiably
0:02:33.810,0:02:38.220
charged in this case those laws are also
0:02:36.090,0:02:40.709
on the books they're of public knowledge
0:02:38.220,0:02:44.099
it this is not by any stretch of the
0:02:40.709,0:02:46.250
imagination a difficult case and one
0:02:44.099,0:02:49.410
where there should be any confusion
0:02:46.250,0:02:51.330
which side you end up on but again
0:02:49.410,0:02:53.760
because of the like and dislike ratio of
0:02:51.330,0:03:05.580
this video there seems to be quite a few
0:02:53.760,0:03:09.500
people misinformed on this case the
0:03:05.580,0:03:11.519
story is out of Atlanta Rashad Brooks
0:03:09.500,0:03:13.560
and forgive me if I get any of the
0:03:11.519,0:03:15.120
details wrong but we are not going to
0:03:13.560,0:03:18.989
forgive you for getting any of the
0:03:15.120,0:03:21.300
details wrong many of which you are
0:03:18.989,0:03:23.550
going to get wrong by the way and no no
0:03:21.300,0:03:26.640
one should forgive you about this you
0:03:23.550,0:03:28.409
have millions of viewers tens of
0:03:26.640,0:03:31.980
thousands of people have approved of
0:03:28.409,0:03:33.720
this commentary on the video and you
0:03:31.980,0:03:35.549
know this and you know the audience
0:03:33.720,0:03:37.530
that's going to be view this so we will
0:03:35.549,0:03:40.980
not forgive you no one should forgive
0:03:37.530,0:03:43.709
you for getting this case so egregiously
0:03:40.980,0:03:51.959
wrong as you did in this video which we
0:03:43.709,0:03:54.689
will see momentarily yes Trevor I've
0:03:51.959,0:03:57.930
seen the video and I've read all the
0:03:54.689,0:04:01.260
stories the police accounts the 9-1-1
0:03:57.930,0:04:04.159
call transcript the laws on the books
0:04:01.260,0:04:08.489
that officer off is being charged with
0:04:04.159,0:04:09.780
again everyone who comments publicly on
0:04:08.489,0:04:13.670
this case it should be familiar with
0:04:09.780,0:04:16.410
them you however or not
0:04:13.670,0:04:21.840
Rashad was in his car in a Wendy's
0:04:16.410,0:04:25.300
drive-through he was drunk or tipsy or
0:04:21.840,0:04:27.849
hit he was drunk he was not tipsy he
0:04:25.300,0:04:30.370
drunk and if you go back and look at a
0:04:27.849,0:04:32.379
particular segment of them questioning
0:04:30.370,0:04:35.110
of the cops questioning Rashard Brooks
0:04:32.379,0:04:38.650
was they actually got him awake he has
0:04:35.110,0:04:40.569
absolutely no idea where he is at one
0:04:38.650,0:04:43.440
point he said he's on the old Dixie
0:04:40.569,0:04:46.120
Highway old Dixie Highway is hours away
0:04:43.440,0:04:50.830
from his current location it's not even
0:04:46.120,0:04:53.199
in the same County of Georgia he even
0:04:50.830,0:04:56.919
goes so far as to say once officer Rolf
0:04:53.199,0:04:59.710
pushes him he thinks he's under the
0:04:56.919,0:05:02.379
impression that he was pulled over along
0:04:59.710,0:05:04.650
the old Dixie Highway so not only does
0:05:02.379,0:05:07.199
he think that he was traveling on a road
0:05:04.650,0:05:10.240
hours away from his current location
0:05:07.199,0:05:12.520
when he is sitting in the car in the
0:05:10.240,0:05:13.979
middle of a parking lot he thinks he's
0:05:12.520,0:05:17.319
pulled over on the highway
0:05:13.979,0:05:21.129
he can't even understand he can't even
0:05:17.319,0:05:23.319
have the awareness to know that he's in
0:05:21.129,0:05:24.000
a parking lot he's not on the side of a
0:05:23.319,0:05:26.830
highway
0:05:24.000,0:05:30.460
this is level of intoxication that goes
0:05:26.830,0:05:36.909
beyond anybody's possible interpretation
0:05:30.460,0:05:38.979
of tipsy fell asleep people are driving
0:05:36.909,0:05:41.469
around his car and so somebody at the
0:05:38.979,0:05:45.159
windi's called the cops the cops arrived
0:05:41.469,0:05:47.409
at Wendy's and you know they get out of
0:05:45.159,0:05:49.659
the car and they start talking to him
0:05:47.409,0:05:51.490
for about thirty minutes you know asking
0:05:49.659,0:05:54.009
him is he drunk why is he driving what's
0:05:51.490,0:05:56.050
going on like they come the comment
0:05:54.009,0:05:59.259
about there being about a half-hour or
0:05:56.050,0:06:01.210
so of conversation is just about the
0:05:59.259,0:06:05.770
only facet of the story that Trevor know
0:06:01.210,0:06:07.590
is going to get correct and the whole
0:06:05.770,0:06:09.940
time throughout this video you have
0:06:07.590,0:06:10.719
human beings being human beings you have
0:06:09.940,0:06:12.849
Rashad
0:06:10.719,0:06:14.830
who's clearly inebriated and he's
0:06:12.849,0:06:16.150
talking to the cops and you have the
0:06:14.830,0:06:17.759
cops asking him the questions that was
0:06:16.150,0:06:20.889
interesting but for me about this videos
0:06:17.759,0:06:22.300
and like in the beginning it seems like
0:06:20.889,0:06:24.550
everything is gonna be fine
0:06:22.300,0:06:28.270
the cops are talking to him like a
0:06:24.550,0:06:30.219
person they're not being for a while for
0:06:28.270,0:06:32.190
a while in this interaction seemed like
0:06:30.219,0:06:35.649
everything was going to be fine because
0:06:32.190,0:06:39.100
for a while although he was spaced out
0:06:35.649,0:06:40.720
of his mind very short Brooks wasn't
0:06:39.100,0:06:42.670
being aggressive he didn't put his hands
0:06:40.720,0:06:46.210
on anybody didn't attempt to run away
0:06:42.670,0:06:49.180
from the scene for the first half hour
0:06:46.210,0:06:52.210
of the conversation it's very easy to be
0:06:49.180,0:06:54.700
seen that he's gonna get taken in on a
0:06:52.210,0:06:57.250
drunk driving charge that's a foregone
0:06:54.700,0:06:59.830
conclusion from the nonsense he was
0:06:57.250,0:07:03.960
spewing out of his mouth but as far as
0:06:59.830,0:07:07.270
aggressiveness is concerned of Court in
0:07:03.960,0:07:10.290
regards to the police officers being in
0:07:07.270,0:07:14.110
any danger or him asserting any force
0:07:10.290,0:07:16.390
against the cops it looked like he was
0:07:14.110,0:07:19.060
just destined to be taken into custody
0:07:16.390,0:07:27.190
for a drunk driving charge let him air
0:07:19.060,0:07:29.260
out in the cell overnight he's being
0:07:27.190,0:07:31.510
respectful he's calling them sir he's
0:07:29.260,0:07:34.510
not he's not cussing them out he's he's
0:07:31.510,0:07:39.400
offering to to walk everything is going
0:07:34.510,0:07:41.620
well everything you cannot the offer to
0:07:39.400,0:07:43.630
walk home is it total non-starter you
0:07:41.620,0:07:47.020
can't simply offer to walk away from
0:07:43.630,0:07:49.300
your own potential crime scene and and
0:07:47.020,0:07:52.000
promise that you'll walk home safely so
0:07:49.300,0:07:55.210
you can just walk out of an arrest
0:07:52.000,0:08:00.660
that's just again a total non-starter
0:07:55.210,0:08:00.660
his offer is irrelevant in that regard
0:08:01.230,0:08:14.700
and then in one moment in just a few
0:08:09.370,0:08:17.710
seconds every part of that normal story
0:08:14.700,0:08:19.810
turns into the abnormal ending that
0:08:17.710,0:08:21.850
we've come to know as interactions with
0:08:19.810,0:08:24.450
police and black people yes the black
0:08:21.850,0:08:27.700
suspect in question resists arrest at
0:08:24.450,0:08:30.640
first engages in non deadly physical
0:08:27.700,0:08:32.680
force in striking them and then takes it
0:08:30.640,0:08:36.370
one step further and engaged in deadly
0:08:32.680,0:08:38.020
force in stealing a cop's weapon running
0:08:36.370,0:08:40.570
away with it and attempting to shoot
0:08:38.020,0:08:42.460
both of them with it it is quite
0:08:40.570,0:08:47.350
familiar it's just not familiar in the
0:08:42.460,0:08:51.010
way that you think it is Trevor because
0:08:47.350,0:08:52.480
the police trying to arrest him he he
0:08:51.010,0:08:56.199
resists any
0:08:52.480,0:08:59.560
with the police not something to be
0:08:56.199,0:09:05.139
poo-pooed to shoo away that's a central
0:08:59.560,0:09:06.730
fact in this case in the scuffle he's
0:09:05.139,0:09:10.240
being absolutely incorrect
0:09:06.730,0:09:12.459
and a complete bold-faced lie from
0:09:10.240,0:09:15.250
Trevor Noah they do not try to tase him
0:09:12.459,0:09:17.680
he tries to take the Taser off of the
0:09:15.250,0:09:22.000
officers absolutely straightaway
0:09:17.680,0:09:24.220
incorrect he gets up he runs away and
0:09:22.000,0:09:26.079
I'm missing a few beats of the story
0:09:24.220,0:09:27.510
because I know you're missing very many
0:09:26.079,0:09:30.610
beats of the story
0:09:27.510,0:09:33.250
for instance the part where he swung at
0:09:30.610,0:09:35.560
both of them the part where he tried to
0:09:33.250,0:09:38.260
take the gun off the police officers
0:09:35.560,0:09:40.720
person without being any threat of being
0:09:38.260,0:09:42.610
shot himself with the Taser you're
0:09:40.720,0:09:50.410
missing quite a few beats of the story
0:09:42.610,0:09:52.510
Trevor but that's a central problem with
0:09:50.410,0:09:55.209
this commentary you don't want to take
0:09:52.510,0:09:58.690
us through too much of it what is too
0:09:55.209,0:10:02.139
much of it the simple chronology of the
0:09:58.690,0:10:04.990
events is really quite basic again
0:10:02.139,0:10:07.980
according to the video a guy was drunk
0:10:04.990,0:10:11.050
passed out in his car 911 was called
0:10:07.980,0:10:11.470
cops showed up they eventually wake him
0:10:11.050,0:10:14.380
up
0:10:11.470,0:10:16.240
they have a conversation a drunken
0:10:14.380,0:10:19.540
conversation on the part of Rashard
0:10:16.240,0:10:22.389
Brooks a half-hour of interrogation is
0:10:19.540,0:10:25.930
done much more than was needed by the
0:10:22.389,0:10:28.810
way to confirm that their specific
0:10:25.930,0:10:29.920
suspicions were correct that Rashard
0:10:28.810,0:10:33.130
Brooks was driving under the influence
0:10:29.920,0:10:36.010
and then he attempted to take him in on
0:10:33.130,0:10:38.529
drunk driving charges and which points
0:10:36.010,0:10:42.910
he wrestled the officers to the ground
0:10:38.529,0:10:44.380
swung at them stole the Taser without
0:10:42.910,0:10:47.470
being under threat of being shot himself
0:10:44.380,0:10:49.690
with it shot the Taser at the officers
0:10:47.470,0:10:54.490
and attempted to run away with the
0:10:49.690,0:10:57.220
police weapon the simple recitation of
0:10:54.490,0:11:01.779
about 20 to 30 seconds of what's on
0:10:57.220,0:11:03.819
video that's the story and you've missed
0:11:01.779,0:11:06.280
again quite a few of those beads and
0:11:03.819,0:11:08.350
it's not forgivable
0:11:06.280,0:11:11.590
for somebody in this situation who has a
0:11:08.350,0:11:14.560
public spotlight who has tens of
0:11:11.590,0:11:17.410
thousands of viewers who approve of this
0:11:14.560,0:11:19.450
content online millions I'm sure in
0:11:17.410,0:11:23.080
total between the TV broadcast and
0:11:19.450,0:11:25.480
online replays of the video as you can
0:11:23.080,0:11:27.670
see there's 2 million videos 2 million
0:11:25.480,0:11:29.260
views just on the video not to mention
0:11:27.670,0:11:32.080
how many people tuned in to Comedy
0:11:29.260,0:11:35.020
Central when this episode was originally
0:11:32.080,0:11:38.310
broadcast it's not forgivable to be this
0:11:35.020,0:11:43.720
wrong about the case and this again
0:11:38.310,0:11:47.560
returns to a very simple yet recurring
0:11:43.720,0:11:52.330
theme with the regressive left lying or
0:11:47.560,0:11:54.160
lazy is he lying did he see the relevant
0:11:52.330,0:11:56.350
portions of the video and he's knowingly
0:11:54.160,0:12:00.910
concealing them in order to push a
0:11:56.350,0:12:04.300
narrative or is he too lazy did he hear
0:12:00.910,0:12:05.890
a black guy shot by white cop knew he
0:12:04.300,0:12:07.960
was drunk and that's just about all the
0:12:05.890,0:12:10.690
information we need here nothing else to
0:12:07.960,0:12:17.290
see here I got enough for a video to be
0:12:10.690,0:12:19.570
broadcast on national television it's
0:12:17.290,0:12:24.640
not essentially what happens Shawn runs
0:12:19.570,0:12:27.900
away and with the police weapon and the
0:12:24.640,0:12:33.970
police chase him as he's running a Taser
0:12:27.900,0:12:37.360
not that that is another central lie in
0:12:33.970,0:12:40.680
his look at his arm right here he shoots
0:12:37.360,0:12:42.850
the Taser this is almost portrayed as if
0:12:40.680,0:12:45.460
Rashard Brooks was attempting to shoot
0:12:42.850,0:12:48.060
the gun in the AR almost like a like a
0:12:45.460,0:12:51.250
flare gun kind of motion to either
0:12:48.060,0:12:54.850
distract the cop so he can fully get
0:12:51.250,0:12:56.740
away from the scene or simply to just
0:12:54.850,0:12:58.589
throw them off maybe they they thought
0:12:56.740,0:13:03.580
they were being shot at but not really
0:12:58.589,0:13:09.310
as a distraction device to get away from
0:13:03.580,0:13:12.790
from from their mitts but this doesn't
0:13:09.310,0:13:16.990
seem like much but again it falls into
0:13:12.790,0:13:18.850
the ultimate maximum of lying or lazy we
0:13:16.990,0:13:19.699
saw from the video that Rashard Brooks
0:13:18.850,0:13:22.459
turns
0:13:19.699,0:13:25.850
his body arm outstretched with the Taser
0:13:22.459,0:13:28.369
pointed directly at officer Ralph it was
0:13:25.850,0:13:31.069
not up in the air it was pointed at an
0:13:28.369,0:13:33.559
officer after he it was already he has
0:13:31.069,0:13:35.839
already demonstrated that he has no
0:13:33.559,0:13:38.209
qualms about assaulting each officer on
0:13:35.839,0:13:43.220
the scene and using the Taser against
0:13:38.209,0:13:44.929
them and one of the cops switches his
0:13:43.220,0:13:47.600
weapons from a Taser to a gun and shoots
0:13:44.929,0:13:54.799
rashard two or three times in the back
0:13:47.600,0:13:56.749
and he's dead and immediately everyone
0:13:54.799,0:13:59.239
everyone goes you know everyone goes to
0:13:56.749,0:14:00.470
their battle stations that's that's what
0:13:59.239,0:14:02.059
plays me about these stories everyone
0:14:00.470,0:14:03.949
just goes to their battle stations you
0:14:02.059,0:14:06.259
know immediately people go well once
0:14:03.949,0:14:08.509
again another example of black people
0:14:06.259,0:14:11.660
resisting the cops and being criminals
0:14:08.509,0:14:14.509
and yes yes that would be the correct
0:14:11.660,0:14:16.759
interpretation but not insofar as
0:14:14.509,0:14:19.569
confirming a narrative it's the correct
0:14:16.759,0:14:22.489
interpretation from again reviewing
0:14:19.569,0:14:28.459
statistics and data regarding crime in
0:14:22.489,0:14:30.949
America and watching and reading again
0:14:28.459,0:14:35.679
needs to be belabored be completely
0:14:30.949,0:14:35.679
publicly available evidence in this case
0:14:37.449,0:14:44.089
and then with their weapon after view
0:14:41.509,0:14:45.980
punched them and already attempted to
0:14:44.089,0:14:51.559
shoot them with it again being
0:14:45.980,0:14:54.350
conveniently left out of the story of
0:14:51.559,0:14:56.809
course another story of cops who
0:14:54.350,0:14:59.660
immediately shoot a black man for just
0:14:56.809,0:15:02.720
sleeping in his car but like it's so
0:14:59.660,0:15:04.879
ironic and we'll see in a few minutes
0:15:02.720,0:15:10.160
here that he attempts to do the
0:15:04.879,0:15:13.720
nonpartisan guy routine in calling out
0:15:10.160,0:15:16.609
each end of the spectrum each
0:15:13.720,0:15:18.889
predictable narrative one side saying
0:15:16.609,0:15:21.169
immediately blame the black suspect
0:15:18.889,0:15:23.600
without knowing more about the case the
0:15:21.169,0:15:25.059
latter of the two narratives saying the
0:15:23.600,0:15:28.249
police officers were too trigger-happy
0:15:25.059,0:15:29.720
all he did was drive drunk he wasn't
0:15:28.249,0:15:33.560
hurting anybody he was just lying asleep
0:15:29.720,0:15:37.220
in his car and then he will almost
0:15:33.560,0:15:39.050
immediately adhere completely to the
0:15:37.220,0:15:40.730
second of those two theories without
0:15:39.050,0:15:43.220
taking the facts of the case into
0:15:40.730,0:15:47.600
consideration really at the drop of the
0:15:43.220,0:15:50.779
Hat engages in the exact lazy narrative
0:15:47.600,0:15:56.860
that he attempted to parse out of this
0:15:50.779,0:15:59.390
commentary to put aside as as lazy as
0:15:56.860,0:16:02.660
not cognizant of the facts of the case
0:15:59.390,0:16:05.060
which is true but the ironic turn of
0:16:02.660,0:16:12.320
events is he does exactly that in the
0:16:05.060,0:16:16.430
rest of this video it's messy it's not
0:16:12.320,0:16:21.380
messy it's not messy it's not ly all
0:16:16.430,0:16:25.610
messy it's not messy the case is very
0:16:21.380,0:16:28.750
straight forward it went through the
0:16:25.610,0:16:31.790
entire series of escalation of force
0:16:28.750,0:16:34.400
that police officers are charged with
0:16:31.790,0:16:37.360
the responsibility of employing when
0:16:34.400,0:16:40.310
necessary it was a completely verbal
0:16:37.360,0:16:43.760
conversation for over a half hour when
0:16:40.310,0:16:45.650
it really didn't need to be after that
0:16:43.760,0:16:48.110
they had probable cause to believe that
0:16:45.650,0:16:50.660
he was driving drunk he had no idea
0:16:48.110,0:16:53.720
where he was he had no idea how to even
0:16:50.660,0:16:55.790
describe the amount or type of alcohol
0:16:53.720,0:17:00.170
he had consumed throughout the day and
0:16:55.790,0:17:02.780
he was clearly passed out in the midst
0:17:00.170,0:17:05.060
of driving through the driveway it was a
0:17:02.780,0:17:07.760
very simple calculation of probable
0:17:05.060,0:17:10.250
cause for drunk driving so after the
0:17:07.760,0:17:14.300
verbal conversation they attend to they
0:17:10.250,0:17:17.750
attempt to arrest him he responded with
0:17:14.300,0:17:20.660
non-deadly force namely wrestling to
0:17:17.750,0:17:25.579
them to the ground punching them and at
0:17:20.660,0:17:27.620
least even if you want to grant reaching
0:17:25.579,0:17:31.970
for the weapon before he actually steals
0:17:27.620,0:17:34.340
it I think that would be a naive because
0:17:31.970,0:17:36.560
what does someone who reaches for a
0:17:34.340,0:17:39.950
potentially deadly weapon plants do with
0:17:36.560,0:17:43.220
that once they gain control of it but
0:17:39.950,0:17:46.280
even beyond that the officer still
0:17:43.220,0:17:47.070
ordered him on several occasions to stop
0:17:46.280,0:17:49.590
put down
0:17:47.070,0:17:51.510
weapon and he nevertheless runs away
0:17:49.590,0:17:55.410
with it and he nevertheless turns around
0:17:51.510,0:18:01.950
to shoot it again at which time officer
0:17:55.410,0:18:04.350
Rolf shoots and kills Rashard Brooks if
0:18:01.950,0:18:06.330
the story didn't happen now maybe we
0:18:04.350,0:18:09.420
would be looking at it differently but
0:18:06.330,0:18:12.300
it's a messy story it's not the perfect
0:18:09.420,0:18:13.770
story and in a weird way it not being
0:18:12.300,0:18:16.260
the perfect story means we should look
0:18:13.770,0:18:17.610
at it in the most perfect way possible
0:18:16.260,0:18:19.950
we should try and break it down and
0:18:17.610,0:18:22.050
understand how something like this comes
0:18:19.950,0:18:25.380
to be because we don't you mean like
0:18:22.050,0:18:27.180
review the entire available video of the
0:18:25.380,0:18:30.270
police confrontation like review the
0:18:27.180,0:18:33.120
video and the transcript from the 9-1-1
0:18:30.270,0:18:36.840
call from the surveillance camera from
0:18:33.120,0:18:38.790
wendy's then look at the district
0:18:36.840,0:18:40.800
attorney's statements trying to justify
0:18:38.790,0:18:45.180
the charges against the responding
0:18:40.800,0:18:48.210
officers and then putting those charges
0:18:45.180,0:18:50.400
up against the actual statements of law
0:18:48.210,0:18:52.860
on the books to see if it's even
0:18:50.400,0:18:54.930
justifiable to think that you can
0:18:52.860,0:19:02.910
entertain a a conviction based on the
0:18:54.930,0:19:05.100
shooting kind of like that that's a
0:19:02.910,0:19:07.770
little kernel of truth that perhaps is
0:19:05.100,0:19:10.200
saying the quiet part out loud you don't
0:19:07.770,0:19:15.540
always have video like this but this is
0:19:10.200,0:19:19.020
a goldmine of evidence every second of
0:19:15.540,0:19:21.960
this interaction that's needed for
0:19:19.020,0:19:25.650
consideration in this case is on video
0:19:21.960,0:19:28.320
and with audio to back it up this is a
0:19:25.650,0:19:31.110
rare occasion where every single piece
0:19:28.320,0:19:33.960
of relevant evidence you can see you can
0:19:31.110,0:19:40.410
watch it you can replay it again you can
0:19:33.960,0:19:44.280
slow it down this is rare but it's rare
0:19:40.410,0:19:50.250
and leading to a conclusion that Trevor
0:19:44.280,0:19:51.390
doesn't like but let's take a moment to
0:19:50.250,0:19:53.390
talk about what happened you have to
0:19:51.390,0:19:55.620
have a man who is sleeping in his car
0:19:53.390,0:19:58.500
right a man who's sleeping in his car
0:19:55.620,0:20:00.600
and he's drunk was he drunk driving
0:19:58.500,0:20:04.200
let's say he is
0:20:00.600,0:20:05.130
say he is how did he get the car to the
0:20:04.200,0:20:09.149
drive-thru
0:20:05.130,0:20:11.159
Trevor how does one order in a driver do
0:20:09.149,0:20:14.580
they get out and push the car from
0:20:11.159,0:20:16.799
behind let's say he was drunk
0:20:14.580,0:20:20.970
yes let's say since that is factually
0:20:16.799,0:20:24.149
correct beyond any shadow of a doubt his
0:20:20.970,0:20:27.809
intoxication level is incontrovertibly
0:20:24.149,0:20:30.570
high undoubtably high the guy had no
0:20:27.809,0:20:32.730
idea where he was and needed several
0:20:30.570,0:20:34.919
minutes of jostling and yelling at him
0:20:32.730,0:20:42.710
just to come to when he was asleep at
0:20:34.919,0:20:46.169
the wheel yes he was driving drunk I
0:20:42.710,0:20:48.360
actually agree with that a law not worth
0:20:46.169,0:20:51.500
dying for it simply driving drunk and
0:20:48.360,0:20:55.919
simply passed out at the wheel
0:20:51.500,0:20:56.279
presumably in park not moving yes you're
0:20:55.919,0:20:57.389
right
0:20:56.279,0:21:00.629
you don't deserve to die for that
0:20:57.389,0:21:03.360
however you cannot make that argument
0:21:00.629,0:21:05.789
once you decide to resist arrest with
0:21:03.360,0:21:08.789
both non deadly and very quickly
0:21:05.789,0:21:11.850
escalating to deadly force and then
0:21:08.789,0:21:14.820
running away into the community while
0:21:11.850,0:21:19.070
being a previously violent felon by the
0:21:14.820,0:21:23.570
way with a potentially deadly weapon
0:21:19.070,0:21:25.620
that turns this case into a very clear
0:21:23.570,0:21:32.299
justifiable shoot on behalf of the
0:21:25.620,0:21:35.340
officer the police approached him and
0:21:32.299,0:21:35.730
even then I asked the question why armed
0:21:35.340,0:21:37.830
police
0:21:35.730,0:21:42.299
dealing with a man who's sleeping in his
0:21:37.830,0:21:48.029
car because Trevor and again available
0:21:42.299,0:21:50.850
by viewing the video some suspects and
0:21:48.029,0:21:53.690
some criminals don't take kindly in to
0:21:50.850,0:21:56.370
take it being taken into police custody
0:21:53.690,0:21:59.220
especially when they have a long and
0:21:56.370,0:22:01.559
storied rap sheet of violent crime
0:21:59.220,0:22:04.529
another arrest on their record is not
0:22:01.559,0:22:06.629
going to look good when it's not going
0:22:04.529,0:22:09.480
to look good and you have those extra
0:22:06.629,0:22:11.490
circumstances you may be willing to put
0:22:09.480,0:22:13.230
up more of a fight than to simply
0:22:11.490,0:22:14.250
cooperate and being taken into custody
0:22:13.230,0:22:17.940
for your
0:22:14.250,0:22:19.620
we're crime he posed no threat to
0:22:17.940,0:22:21.060
anybody no one and Wendy's felt afraid
0:22:19.620,0:22:22.560
cause of driving around him he's not
0:22:21.060,0:22:28.140
stopping people from ordering food so
0:22:22.560,0:22:30.780
yes he was another bold-faced lie he
0:22:28.140,0:22:34.530
absolutely was stopping people from
0:22:30.780,0:22:36.540
driving through the drive-through how
0:22:34.530,0:22:39.420
else would people get around him he's in
0:22:36.540,0:22:42.030
the one lane drive-through and he's in
0:22:39.420,0:22:51.210
park passed out without a care in the
0:22:42.030,0:22:53.550
world of course he was because some
0:22:51.210,0:22:55.860
suspects have no regard with the forest
0:22:53.550,0:22:58.800
that they meet police officers with from
0:22:55.860,0:23:01.890
even the simple questioning or the
0:22:58.800,0:23:06.240
simple taking into custody again up
0:23:01.890,0:23:08.880
until his resisting arrest despite his
0:23:06.240,0:23:11.490
previous criminal record Richard Brooks
0:23:08.880,0:23:14.520
was looking at a DUI charge and for all
0:23:11.490,0:23:16.440
intents purposes she was gonna be taken
0:23:14.520,0:23:18.570
into a holding cell to air out once he
0:23:16.440,0:23:21.150
can get a sense of who the hell he was
0:23:18.570,0:23:25.140
and where the hell he was going or
0:23:21.150,0:23:27.960
attempting to go that's where he was
0:23:25.140,0:23:31.560
going he was going for a sleepover in a
0:23:27.960,0:23:40.770
holding cell until he decided to make
0:23:31.560,0:23:42.810
this violent why are armed police the
0:23:40.770,0:23:44.250
first people who have to go and respond
0:23:42.810,0:23:45.380
to somebody who's sleeping in their car
0:23:44.250,0:23:48.750
who is drunk
0:23:45.380,0:23:52.320
second because drunk people especially
0:23:48.750,0:23:55.170
drunk previous violent felons do not
0:23:52.320,0:23:59.850
have the proper judgment and mindset
0:23:55.170,0:24:02.280
about them to accurately judge who's
0:23:59.850,0:24:05.250
talking to them what threat they're
0:24:02.280,0:24:09.300
under and they do not have the proper
0:24:05.250,0:24:10.080
faculties to assess the consequences of
0:24:09.300,0:24:13.350
their actions
0:24:10.080,0:24:15.660
if you add up all these factors the
0:24:13.350,0:24:19.650
individual in question may very well
0:24:15.660,0:24:22.140
think it more likely and more beneficial
0:24:19.650,0:24:24.450
for him to get violent and to get
0:24:22.140,0:24:27.950
physical to get out of the current
0:24:24.450,0:24:27.950
altercation with the police
0:24:28.750,0:24:35.120
why do the police not give I mean the
0:24:31.700,0:24:36.590
man says to them I will walk home if you
0:24:35.120,0:24:40.480
pretend you don't get to walk away from
0:24:36.590,0:24:42.980
your own crime scene plain and simple
0:24:40.480,0:24:44.600
serving people what is the true purpose
0:24:42.980,0:24:46.429
of you not wanting people to drive drunk
0:24:44.600,0:24:48.559
it's that you don't want them killing
0:24:46.429,0:24:50.000
themselves and other people in this
0:24:48.559,0:24:51.110
instance no one had died because of his
0:24:50.000,0:24:53.410
driving and he hadn't killed himself
0:24:51.110,0:24:56.059
because of his driving yes
0:24:53.410,0:24:59.570
Trevor nice face by the way nice derp
0:24:56.059,0:25:01.820
face very representative of the video he
0:24:59.570,0:25:05.720
hadn't hurt anyone or killed anyone yet
0:25:01.820,0:25:07.730
thank God but that's also partially due
0:25:05.720,0:25:12.260
to the fact that the police intervened
0:25:07.730,0:25:14.990
if the 911 call was not was not
0:25:12.260,0:25:17.179
addressed or even made who's to say he
0:25:14.990,0:25:20.480
doesn't wake up in a half hour still
0:25:17.179,0:25:24.679
drunk out of his mind and pulls through
0:25:20.480,0:25:26.570
the drive-through what if some poor high
0:25:24.679,0:25:27.980
school kid who's getting off their shift
0:25:26.570,0:25:29.540
and walking through the drive-through
0:25:27.980,0:25:32.150
lane to get to their car to go home and
0:25:29.540,0:25:33.220
this guy has no idea where he is faced
0:25:32.150,0:25:36.230
out of his mind
0:25:33.220,0:25:38.600
maybe gets back onto the roads maybe
0:25:36.230,0:25:42.380
some way somehow he finds himself on the
0:25:38.600,0:25:47.179
old Dixie Highway hours away it hadn't
0:25:42.380,0:25:50.500
happened yet if you look at his level of
0:25:47.179,0:25:54.559
intoxication he wasn't going to sober up
0:25:50.500,0:25:57.890
or just around the corner he was spaced
0:25:54.559,0:26:02.679
he was drunk as all hell he was not even
0:25:57.890,0:26:06.010
close to a level of intoxication or
0:26:02.679,0:26:08.510
conversely really a level of sobriety
0:26:06.010,0:26:09.740
where he could be expected to operate a
0:26:08.510,0:26:15.770
motor vehicle safely
0:26:09.740,0:26:17.240
not even close maybe it's because I live
0:26:15.770,0:26:19.360
in a utopian world with the police are
0:26:17.240,0:26:21.980
truly just trying to protect and serve
0:26:19.360,0:26:26.570
you also live in a utopian world that
0:26:21.980,0:26:28.400
does not inform us that blacks in
0:26:26.570,0:26:31.309
America specifically inner-city
0:26:28.400,0:26:34.790
blacks taken as a whole have a much
0:26:31.309,0:26:38.090
higher rate of crime more specifically
0:26:34.790,0:26:39.620
violent crime and in particular when
0:26:38.090,0:26:41.810
compared to other segments of the
0:26:39.620,0:26:45.290
population violence towards police
0:26:41.810,0:26:46.520
officers tickets not trying to get
0:26:45.290,0:26:47.750
enough people arrested I'm not trying to
0:26:46.520,0:26:50.510
fool coaches no they trying to protect
0:26:47.750,0:26:53.180
us so in that instance trying to trying
0:26:50.510,0:26:55.610
to fill quotas are alright tickets this
0:26:53.180,0:26:57.440
is not a parking violation he didn't
0:26:55.610,0:27:00.440
park near a fire hydrant
0:26:57.440,0:27:04.700
he didn't go 30 in a 20 mile-per-hour
0:27:00.440,0:27:10.460
school zone the guy was drunk off his
0:27:04.700,0:27:15.050
ass at the moment was incapacitated in
0:27:10.460,0:27:16.970
his car but that's not to say he had no
0:27:15.050,0:27:19.760
regard for the safety of others when he
0:27:16.970,0:27:23.360
drove to the drive-thru he certainly
0:27:19.760,0:27:26.150
wasn't it wasn't exhibiting any concern
0:27:23.360,0:27:28.100
from from other motorists on the road or
0:27:26.150,0:27:30.080
people who could be walking on the side
0:27:28.100,0:27:33.070
of the road or or trying to cross the
0:27:30.080,0:27:34.790
street when he drove to the Wendy's
0:27:33.070,0:27:37.580
drunk is all hell
0:27:34.790,0:27:40.600
so who's to say that he would have that
0:27:37.580,0:27:43.330
same lack of concern and recklessness
0:27:40.600,0:27:46.460
for those around him only this time
0:27:43.330,0:27:48.710
wouldn't be so lucky as to not happen to
0:27:46.460,0:27:50.690
put anyone else in danger not happened
0:27:48.710,0:27:59.210
to harm anyone else with his drunk
0:27:50.690,0:28:01.730
driving who's to say you do not look fit
0:27:59.210,0:28:03.320
to drive you said your sister lives
0:28:01.730,0:28:05.720
around the corner you said you live
0:28:03.320,0:28:08.150
let's take you we'll take you home with
0:28:05.720,0:28:11.450
no we won't we won't take you home
0:28:08.150,0:28:14.000
because you have committed a crime this
0:28:11.450,0:28:16.400
is not a passive kind of disagreement
0:28:14.000,0:28:18.170
this isn't even someone trying you know
0:28:16.400,0:28:20.720
a lot of times you see it especially in
0:28:18.170,0:28:23.210
in bigger cities when there's kind of
0:28:20.720,0:28:25.760
altercation in the bar and there's a lot
0:28:23.210,0:28:28.250
of yelling and maybe even you know
0:28:25.760,0:28:29.960
cursing and threatening you kind of you
0:28:28.250,0:28:32.810
kick one of them out who started it but
0:28:29.960,0:28:35.570
no one's gonna get a recipes he's not
0:28:32.810,0:28:37.820
coming back in at that point the threat
0:28:35.570,0:28:41.630
has kind of been neutralized at this
0:28:37.820,0:28:44.600
point but that's not this situation and
0:28:41.630,0:28:48.760
this again goes back to a narrative
0:28:44.600,0:28:50.990
which we can cover in another video that
0:28:48.760,0:28:53.470
why didn't the police just drive him
0:28:50.990,0:28:55.490
home because the police don't drive
0:28:53.470,0:28:58.789
criminals home
0:28:55.490,0:29:01.760
that's not what happens when you assess
0:28:58.789,0:29:03.980
probable cause even if there was no
0:29:01.760,0:29:06.950
probable cause you don't just give the
0:29:03.980,0:29:10.690
guy a lift home and this is going back
0:29:06.950,0:29:13.279
to a certain theory about policing and
0:29:10.690,0:29:14.570
it's been popularized by a lot of people
0:29:13.279,0:29:17.299
on the Left a couple of these people
0:29:14.570,0:29:20.830
have been on shows like Joe Rogan's show
0:29:17.299,0:29:24.700
and have really kind of spread this
0:29:20.830,0:29:27.020
utopian unrealistic and I think
0:29:24.700,0:29:29.809
unjustifiable view of the police force
0:29:27.020,0:29:35.120
is that the American police force is not
0:29:29.809,0:29:39.250
an after-school program it's not an uber
0:29:35.120,0:29:42.890
driver it's not a turndown service
0:29:39.250,0:29:44.899
they're there to protect others the
0:29:42.890,0:29:49.190
other people who could be on the road if
0:29:44.899,0:29:51.380
this guy gets back in the car and the
0:29:49.190,0:29:53.690
threat is not really even neutralized
0:29:51.380,0:29:56.480
if you drive him home he's still spaced
0:29:53.690,0:29:58.039
out of his mind who's to say that once
0:29:56.480,0:29:59.539
the cops leave he gets right back in the
0:29:58.039,0:30:03.919
car and goes back to Wendy's he didn't
0:29:59.539,0:30:07.100
get his food you don't know as long as
0:30:03.919,0:30:09.230
the car is still there again he's
0:30:07.100,0:30:10.730
exhibited no conscience for putting
0:30:09.230,0:30:14.029
others in harm's way by getting behind
0:30:10.730,0:30:18.880
the wheel to get to Wendy's so why would
0:30:14.029,0:30:21.320
he just not do it again once he got home
0:30:18.880,0:30:23.480
we didn't find you driving drunk
0:30:21.320,0:30:25.100
we found you asleep in a car so we'll
0:30:23.480,0:30:26.630
give you the benefit of the doubt the
0:30:25.100,0:30:28.730
country is burning down because of the
0:30:26.630,0:30:30.980
way black people are dealt with by the
0:30:28.730,0:30:33.649
police so you know it's being burned
0:30:30.980,0:30:39.799
down because of the black community's
0:30:33.649,0:30:42.200
response to people like you and people
0:30:39.799,0:30:45.830
like you having the commentary that you
0:30:42.200,0:30:48.200
do and having this this ghost story
0:30:45.830,0:30:51.070
effect on the black community that's
0:30:48.200,0:30:54.039
what can't be lost in a lot of this is
0:30:51.070,0:30:56.570
the black community does have a
0:30:54.039,0:31:00.260
conspiratorial view of the police and
0:30:56.570,0:31:03.830
it's unjustifiable but think again weird
0:31:00.260,0:31:06.470
they got that from the majority of the
0:31:03.830,0:31:08.740
parents and the school teachers and the
0:31:06.470,0:31:11.320
people on social media and the people
0:31:08.740,0:31:15.460
on TV like Trevor Noah their church
0:31:11.320,0:31:18.370
leaders so-called urban groups and black
0:31:15.460,0:31:20.770
rights groups all Jam into their head
0:31:18.370,0:31:23.320
for years on end during their formative
0:31:20.770,0:31:27.179
years growing up that this is the state
0:31:23.320,0:31:30.160
of affairs now backed up by any evidence
0:31:27.179,0:31:33.190
but you could understand how a young
0:31:30.160,0:31:36.100
black man in America in his early 20s
0:31:33.190,0:31:38.440
can come about that mindset it's been
0:31:36.100,0:31:40.660
jammed in his head since he was 10 or 12
0:31:38.440,0:31:43.330
years old from every supposed to
0:31:40.660,0:31:45.820
authority figure both in his life and in
0:31:43.330,0:31:48.760
public view yeah you're gonna start
0:31:45.820,0:32:00.520
adhering to that narrative is incorrect
0:31:48.760,0:32:01.570
as it is the way you think I'm not
0:32:00.520,0:32:08.130
saying they had to do that but it would
0:32:01.570,0:32:11.320
have been nice they arrest him he fights
0:32:08.130,0:32:13.059
now you know what's messy about this
0:32:11.320,0:32:14.830
whole thing is we forget you are dealing
0:32:13.059,0:32:16.720
with a drunk person you're dealing with
0:32:14.830,0:32:18.070
someone the very fact that you don't
0:32:16.720,0:32:20.350
know how to sign a contract when you're
0:32:18.070,0:32:23.140
drunk the very fact that you don't do
0:32:20.350,0:32:25.270
anything when you're drunk this is this
0:32:23.140,0:32:27.550
is a specific point that I haven't seen
0:32:25.270,0:32:29.950
a lot of people address in this video I
0:32:27.550,0:32:34.690
know that AI you went a little bit into
0:32:29.950,0:32:35.980
this point that he was drunk so we
0:32:34.690,0:32:38.610
almost have to treat him with kids
0:32:35.980,0:32:40.510
gloves or or give him a different
0:32:38.610,0:32:42.610
expectation for how he should be
0:32:40.510,0:32:45.880
interacting with the police officers but
0:32:42.610,0:32:48.910
it's explicit in American criminal law
0:32:45.880,0:32:52.780
that your intoxication level does not
0:32:48.910,0:32:55.240
forgive your crimes because the very
0:32:52.780,0:32:58.720
obvious consequence of having it the way
0:32:55.240,0:33:00.520
the Trevor wishes to have it is that
0:32:58.720,0:33:02.620
it's absolute forgiveness for the crimes
0:33:00.520,0:33:05.500
you commit while you're drunk it's again
0:33:02.620,0:33:09.400
at its AG literal get-out-of-jail-free
0:33:05.500,0:33:12.610
card whenever you want to be motivated
0:33:09.400,0:33:14.590
to do a crime just swallow a little
0:33:12.610,0:33:16.080
liquid courage and you'll get off the
0:33:14.590,0:33:19.800
hook
0:33:16.080,0:33:22.210
it's a very clear policy point for why
0:33:19.800,0:33:26.230
intoxication does not get you
0:33:22.210,0:33:32.830
out of being arrested and does not work
0:33:26.230,0:33:33.970
at trial to get you acquitted tells us
0:33:32.830,0:33:35.950
something about drunk do we know what a
0:33:33.970,0:33:37.300
drunk person is in society they're not
0:33:35.950,0:33:39.460
gonna do the logical thing so as a
0:33:37.300,0:33:41.830
policeman if a drunk person does an
0:33:39.460,0:33:43.060
illogical thing like I feel like you
0:33:41.830,0:33:43.690
should ignore the fact that they've
0:33:43.060,0:33:46.000
drunk
0:33:43.690,0:33:49.780
it doesn't mean again along the
0:33:46.000,0:33:52.510
timelines of events even regardless of
0:33:49.780,0:33:56.560
the fact that he's drunk when is officer
0:33:52.510,0:33:59.890
Roth supposed to no longer treat this as
0:33:56.560,0:34:03.190
a bluff you've had a very calm
0:33:59.890,0:34:04.870
conversation with someone who was drunk
0:34:03.190,0:34:08.080
spaced out of their mind
0:34:04.870,0:34:10.420
and when you attempted to arrest him he
0:34:08.080,0:34:12.430
assaults you okay he still shouldn't
0:34:10.420,0:34:14.980
treat him as a threat to he's drunk he
0:34:12.430,0:34:18.390
sold your partner still not enough of
0:34:14.980,0:34:20.980
the threat he tries to steal your taser
0:34:18.390,0:34:24.670
he tries to steal your taser after
0:34:20.980,0:34:27.970
yelling at him not to several times he
0:34:24.670,0:34:30.280
steals a Taser well he's drunk he can't
0:34:27.970,0:34:33.220
do anything about that he attempts to
0:34:30.280,0:34:34.870
shoot your partner with the Taser still
0:34:33.220,0:34:38.320
not enough of a threat he's drunk after
0:34:34.870,0:34:40.210
all he runs away with it thus
0:34:38.320,0:34:44.680
endangering the rest of the community
0:34:40.210,0:34:47.110
he's a fleeing felon now if someone else
0:34:44.680,0:34:49.090
were to stop him or for another officer
0:34:47.110,0:34:51.700
maybe on the beat down the road tries to
0:34:49.090,0:34:53.320
stop him why do you think he has the
0:34:51.700,0:34:55.390
Taser what do you think he's going to do
0:34:53.320,0:34:57.730
with it he's already demonstrated to two
0:34:55.390,0:34:59.950
officers that he's not afraid of using
0:34:57.730,0:35:03.750
it against people who are attempting to
0:34:59.950,0:35:03.750
stop him from fleeing the scene
0:35:04.860,0:35:09.190
detoxication level is irrelevant here
0:35:07.120,0:35:13.270
you're responsible for your own actions
0:35:09.190,0:35:15.700
and you making the decision to ingest a
0:35:13.270,0:35:18.850
certain amount of alcohol before you
0:35:15.700,0:35:21.520
commit a crime this does not forgive
0:35:18.850,0:35:24.370
your your subsequent actions and is not
0:35:21.520,0:35:27.040
a reason to get out of an arrest or to
0:35:24.370,0:35:29.650
flee the scene or to assault police
0:35:27.040,0:35:35.050
officers it's simply not excuse for your
0:35:29.650,0:35:35.830
own criminality drunk we know what drunk
0:35:35.050,0:35:37.210
people
0:35:35.830,0:35:38.950
I've been drunk you've been drunk
0:35:37.210,0:35:41.260
everyone has been drunk you don't have
0:35:38.950,0:35:42.910
you ever tried to assault a police
0:35:41.260,0:35:45.880
officer while you were drunk Trevor I
0:35:42.910,0:35:48.490
have not I that I have not gotten to
0:35:45.880,0:35:49.990
that level personally yet where I
0:35:48.490,0:35:53.380
thought it was a good idea to swing on a
0:35:49.990,0:35:57.070
police officer that's a level of
0:35:53.380,0:35:59.950
intoxication that I'm unaware of to
0:35:57.070,0:36:04.120
swing on a police officer and his
0:35:59.950,0:36:06.510
partner who were both armed and then to
0:36:04.120,0:36:08.950
steal their weapon and run away with it
0:36:06.510,0:36:10.930
that's a level of intoxication of
0:36:08.950,0:36:18.850
intoxication that I don't think I'll
0:36:10.930,0:36:20.530
ever know and if he didn't die because
0:36:18.850,0:36:23.020
he was drunk he died because he
0:36:20.530,0:36:25.420
assaulted both officers with non-deadly
0:36:23.020,0:36:28.360
force then assaulted them both with
0:36:25.420,0:36:31.570
potentially deadly force and also just
0:36:28.360,0:36:35.800
decided to leave the crime scene fleeing
0:36:31.570,0:36:38.410
as a felon again with the possession of
0:36:35.800,0:36:41.710
a weapon to inflict potentially deadly
0:36:38.410,0:36:45.250
force on other officers these officers
0:36:41.710,0:36:45.880
again or any bystander that may come in
0:36:45.250,0:36:52.330
his way
0:36:45.880,0:36:54.570
once he's escaped the scene then they
0:36:52.330,0:36:57.280
shouldn't be responding
0:36:54.570,0:36:59.740
if you responding to a person who's
0:36:57.280,0:37:01.390
drunk means that person can be dead the
0:36:59.740,0:37:03.190
whole point of you going there was to
0:37:01.390,0:37:04.600
make sure that people don't die because
0:37:03.190,0:37:05.920
of whatever's happened but if the people
0:37:04.600,0:37:08.220
are gonna end up dead anyway then what's
0:37:05.920,0:37:08.220
the point
0:37:09.000,0:37:15.520
blur linear time just blur linear time
0:37:12.370,0:37:19.810
he was drunk and he died all the moments
0:37:15.520,0:37:23.040
in between do not matter to this man and
0:37:19.810,0:37:25.900
people say he's drunk
0:37:23.040,0:37:29.070
you are excusing this is an eight and a
0:37:25.900,0:37:33.160
half minute video of you excusing it
0:37:29.070,0:37:35.140
drunk in a situation like that the sober
0:37:33.160,0:37:37.750
person in my opinion the sober person
0:37:35.140,0:37:39.910
the onus is upon them to make sure the
0:37:37.750,0:37:41.950
situation doesn't get out of hand they
0:37:39.910,0:37:43.300
were making sure the situation did it
0:37:41.950,0:37:45.550
get out of hand that's why they
0:37:43.300,0:37:49.329
questioned him calmly for over a half
0:37:45.550,0:37:51.309
hour against the entire weight of that
0:37:49.329,0:37:53.529
evidence supporting a drunk driving
0:37:51.309,0:38:00.190
charge they still gave him the benefit
0:37:53.529,0:38:03.400
of the doubt how long are they supposed
0:38:00.190,0:38:07.089
to let this criminality go before they
0:38:03.400,0:38:09.249
call BS on him should they have both
0:38:07.089,0:38:11.499
been shot by the Taser is that is that
0:38:09.249,0:38:14.680
still not enough of the threat and
0:38:11.499,0:38:16.569
moreover if he's already swung on both
0:38:14.680,0:38:18.759
officers he already hit them both with
0:38:16.569,0:38:21.880
the Taser say he incapacitates both
0:38:18.759,0:38:22.769
officers who's to say he doesn't steal
0:38:21.880,0:38:25.660
their firearm
0:38:22.769,0:38:27.910
why wouldn't he he's already stolen one
0:38:25.660,0:38:28.989
weapon off them now they're passed out
0:38:27.910,0:38:45.700
after being tased
0:38:28.989,0:38:47.739
why wouldn't he because he's a violent
0:38:45.700,0:38:49.869
felon that's how it ended in him losing
0:38:47.739,0:38:51.640
his life he's a violent felon who
0:38:49.869,0:38:53.589
attacks police officer steals their
0:38:51.640,0:38:55.719
weapon tries to shoot them with it and
0:38:53.589,0:38:57.999
then tries to escape with it to inflict
0:38:55.719,0:39:03.729
that same damage upon anybody who may
0:38:57.999,0:39:05.559
cross his path and people always say the
0:39:03.729,0:39:07.719
same thing they go well you know if you
0:39:05.559,0:39:09.880
didn't do that then you would still be
0:39:07.719,0:39:13.569
alive yes that's absolutely correct
0:39:09.880,0:39:15.459
that's absolutely correct going back to
0:39:13.569,0:39:17.440
what we said earlier in the video if he
0:39:15.459,0:39:20.049
had complied he was gonna air out in a
0:39:17.440,0:39:24.089
holding cell and then as far as criminal
0:39:20.049,0:39:27.190
charges and it's interaction and effect
0:39:24.089,0:39:29.349
with his previous criminal record that's
0:39:27.190,0:39:32.319
to be determined but as far as him being
0:39:29.349,0:39:34.029
alive if he would have just let those
0:39:32.319,0:39:35.739
two cuffs go on him and get in the car
0:39:34.029,0:39:37.499
he would be alive today
0:39:35.739,0:39:39.969
but he didn't didn't do that
0:39:37.499,0:39:41.859
intoxication or otherwise he saw a fit
0:39:39.969,0:39:44.109
to fight back in a myriad of ways
0:39:41.859,0:39:45.880
against both police officers and this
0:39:44.109,0:39:58.140
was the predictable and really
0:39:45.880,0:40:00.249
justifiable result oh if you didn't
0:39:58.140,0:40:02.530
resist arrest if you didn't resist
0:40:00.249,0:40:03.940
arrest it would still be alive Oh
0:40:02.530,0:40:05.770
if you didn't run away from the cops you
0:40:03.940,0:40:07.510
would still be alive well if you didn't
0:40:05.770,0:40:09.570
have a toy gun and with 12 years old in
0:40:07.510,0:40:12.280
the mirror Isis 12
0:40:09.570,0:40:15.730
no matter the fact that he was like 510
0:40:12.280,0:40:19.080
and a buck 60 and in cases of
0:40:15.730,0:40:23.260
determining probable cause you don't use
0:40:19.080,0:40:24.670
consequential facts after after the
0:40:23.260,0:40:27.220
incident to support probable cause
0:40:24.670,0:40:35.500
because people die if you wait too long
0:40:27.220,0:40:36.730
without intervening well you know what
0:40:35.500,0:40:38.350
if you weren't wearing a hoodie you
0:40:36.730,0:40:43.390
would have still been alive well George
0:40:38.350,0:40:45.610
Zimmerman was not a police officer this
0:40:43.390,0:40:47.530
goes into the larger narrative that we
0:40:45.610,0:40:50.110
don't care the black lives matter we
0:40:47.530,0:40:51.580
don't care enough about those who died
0:40:50.110,0:40:56.950
at the hands of the police
0:40:51.580,0:40:59.080
unjustifiably but isn't it a cut against
0:40:56.950,0:41:02.200
that argument that we are real it again
0:40:59.080,0:41:04.450
in cases like Michael Brown who clearly
0:41:02.200,0:41:07.510
tried to kill police officer more than
0:41:04.450,0:41:11.100
once also backed up by half a dozen
0:41:07.510,0:41:14.230
black witnesses at the crime scene and
0:41:11.100,0:41:17.170
Trayvon Martin who was not shot by a
0:41:14.230,0:41:19.210
police officer and was only shot after
0:41:17.170,0:41:24.130
he beat someone's head into the ground
0:41:19.210,0:41:27.430
viciously and waited til he started to
0:41:24.130,0:41:29.860
bleed out before he actually got the
0:41:27.430,0:41:34.180
predictable outcome of that case being
0:41:29.860,0:41:35.560
shot in self-defense isn't it kind of
0:41:34.180,0:41:38.110
cut against narratives that we don't
0:41:35.560,0:41:40.120
care about black lives that most of the
0:41:38.110,0:41:42.580
country is willing to relitigate these
0:41:40.120,0:41:48.940
very clear cases from almost a decade
0:41:42.580,0:41:50.800
ago one case is totally inapplicable to
0:41:48.940,0:41:53.620
the current situation in that no police
0:41:50.800,0:41:56.590
was involved and other cases like Tamir
0:41:53.620,0:41:59.170
rice and Michael Brown there were very
0:41:56.590,0:42:01.870
clear determinations a problem because
0:41:59.170,0:42:05.290
yet the entertaining and the relitigated
0:42:01.870,0:42:07.330
years after it shows that we are willing
0:42:05.290,0:42:10.090
to do our due diligence and revisit
0:42:07.330,0:42:12.400
cases that really should be dead and
0:42:10.090,0:42:15.600
gone at this point they shouldn't be a
0:42:12.400,0:42:15.600
blip on anyone's radar
0:42:16.480,0:42:20.160
back to the cops you would have still
0:42:17.800,0:42:24.400
been alive if you what case is that from
0:42:20.160,0:42:26.290
what case is that from were you copped
0:42:24.400,0:42:28.900
an attitude with the officer and now
0:42:26.290,0:42:30.700
you're dead this is a very conflation
0:42:28.900,0:42:32.410
and we're gonna get into this when we
0:42:30.700,0:42:35.890
wrap up the video here in a minute this
0:42:32.410,0:42:38.530
is not lazy at the beginning we went
0:42:35.890,0:42:40.660
over a simple alternative here that you
0:42:38.530,0:42:43.840
can apply to people like Trevor Noah and
0:42:40.660,0:42:45.340
the Young Turks lying or lazy do you
0:42:43.840,0:42:47.109
know what the real story is and you're
0:42:45.340,0:42:49.300
telling a different one anyway or are
0:42:47.109,0:42:51.100
you too lazy to even give a crap to
0:42:49.300,0:43:02.680
learn the facts of the case this is
0:42:51.100,0:43:04.630
lying I'm not as familiar with the
0:43:02.680,0:43:06.730
Brianna Taylor case but I am familiar
0:43:04.630,0:43:10.300
insofar as I have not seen a single
0:43:06.730,0:43:15.550
person from the right justifying her
0:43:10.300,0:43:17.970
death not a single person but again the
0:43:15.550,0:43:20.410
conflation of cases that are
0:43:17.970,0:43:23.560
unjustifiable with those that are just a
0:43:20.410,0:43:26.590
file ball is not only dishonest is not
0:43:23.560,0:43:28.240
only a lie but unbeknownst to people
0:43:26.590,0:43:31.720
like Trevor Noah does a disservice to
0:43:28.240,0:43:33.850
people who were unjustifiably killed
0:43:31.720,0:43:36.970
Walter Scott does not deserve to be
0:43:33.850,0:43:38.680
lumped in with Michael Brown certainly
0:43:36.970,0:43:40.359
doesn't deserve to be lumped in with
0:43:38.680,0:43:43.420
trayvon martin which is a totally
0:43:40.359,0:43:47.890
different fact pattern Brianna Taylor
0:43:43.420,0:43:52.270
and even George Floyd don't deserve to
0:43:47.890,0:43:55.060
be lumped in with the Rashard Brooks but
0:43:52.270,0:43:56.740
according Trevor they do they are lumped
0:43:55.060,0:43:58.690
together they do belong in the same
0:43:56.740,0:44:03.210
narrative because it's white cop on
0:43:58.690,0:44:03.210
black suspect that's it end of story
0:44:08.609,0:44:16.090
absolute total bullshit absolute total
0:44:12.940,0:44:19.150
bullshit Trevor Noah is a liar this
0:44:16.090,0:44:22.240
entire video was done knowing the facts
0:44:19.150,0:44:24.790
of the case he knew enough to know that
0:44:22.240,0:44:27.100
that Rashard Brooks was drunk at the
0:44:24.790,0:44:28.390
beginning of the conversation he knows
0:44:27.100,0:44:29.800
enough to know that they had a
0:44:28.390,0:44:32.140
conversation for at least
0:44:29.800,0:44:36.460
half-hour so he's at least familiar with
0:44:32.140,0:44:39.100
the main video so therefore the
0:44:36.460,0:44:41.770
conclusion that he died and he would
0:44:39.100,0:44:43.900
otherwise still be alive because he was
0:44:41.770,0:44:46.390
black is an outright lie he's familiar
0:44:43.900,0:44:48.910
enough with the sequence of events and
0:44:46.390,0:44:50.830
the chronology of this case - no - that
0:44:48.910,0:44:55.050
is unsupportable by the evidence
0:44:50.830,0:44:56.980
completely unsupportable by the evidence
0:44:55.050,0:44:59.170
well that's our show for tonight
0:44:56.980,0:45:01.480
but before we go the daily show this is
0:44:59.170,0:45:04.060
a very sad state of offense of events
0:45:01.480,0:45:07.900
here a very state of sad state of
0:45:04.060,0:45:14.650
affairs and and really the public's
0:45:07.900,0:45:19.270
knowledge of basic civics and basic
0:45:14.650,0:45:28.120
elements of policing in America look at
0:45:19.270,0:45:30.940
this ratio 7.3 to 1 in favor of those in
0:45:28.120,0:45:34.270
the country who do not understand police
0:45:30.940,0:45:36.820
measures do not understand the
0:45:34.270,0:45:42.300
criminality that police officers have to
0:45:36.820,0:45:44.470
face and the normal everyday calm
0:45:42.300,0:45:47.350
conversations and circumstances that
0:45:44.470,0:45:51.240
officers initially respond to like in
0:45:47.350,0:45:54.730
this case that unjustifiably and
0:45:51.240,0:45:56.500
unbeknownst to them at the time be taken
0:45:54.730,0:45:59.530
into physical altercations and
0:45:56.500,0:46:02.440
potentially deadly altercations with the
0:45:59.530,0:46:04.380
suspect this is an absolutely by the
0:46:02.440,0:46:07.360
books justifiable shooting
0:46:04.380,0:46:11.940
Rashard Brooks tried on numerous
0:46:07.360,0:46:14.800
occasions and succeeded in summonses in
0:46:11.940,0:46:17.770
assaulting both officers resisting
0:46:14.800,0:46:19.180
arrest multiple times stealing a weapon
0:46:17.770,0:46:21.190
against the orders of the police
0:46:19.180,0:46:23.290
officers and trying to shoot both of
0:46:21.190,0:46:26.500
them with it and who knows would have
0:46:23.290,0:46:28.270
happened beyond that if the Taser had
0:46:26.500,0:46:31.390
landed on both of them this is a
0:46:28.270,0:46:33.550
clear-cut case of acceptable force used
0:46:31.390,0:46:37.090
by the police officers and the fact that
0:46:33.550,0:46:39.970
both officers especially officer Ralph
0:46:37.090,0:46:41.670
is being charged with the charges with
0:46:39.970,0:46:43.530
the heinous crimes that he is is
0:46:41.670,0:46:47.290
absolutely unforgivable
0:46:43.530,0:46:49.360
especially before the GBI investigation
0:46:47.290,0:46:51.760
unit of the state of Georgia has
0:46:49.360,0:46:54.040
finished their findings this is the
0:46:51.760,0:46:57.010
total miscarriage of justice and we can
0:46:54.040,0:46:59.560
only hope for the time being that both
0:46:57.010,0:47:03.130
officers are acquitted while people like
0:46:59.560,0:47:05.710
me like people who are like-minded and
0:47:03.130,0:47:09.010
support the message and analysis of
0:47:05.710,0:47:11.140
videos like this while we chip away at
0:47:09.010,0:47:13.420
the misinformation spreading across the
0:47:11.140,0:47:17.050
country in terms of the American police
0:47:13.420,0:47:21.060
force this has been fate of the Union
0:47:17.050,0:47:21.060
thanks for watching everybody bye bye
a-another video either purposely or
0:00:04.410,0:00:10.110
negligently retelling the case of
0:00:06.720,0:00:13.049
Rashard Brooks and today we're going to
0:00:10.110,0:00:15.660
find an answer as to which one of those
0:00:13.049,0:00:17.970
two things is the motivation behind this
0:00:15.660,0:00:21.000
video from Trevor Noah
0:00:17.970,0:00:24.240
why did Rashard Brooks have to lose his
0:00:21.000,0:00:27.480
life a simple question with a simple
0:00:24.240,0:00:32.309
answer really the answer being that he
0:00:27.480,0:00:35.760
showed up drunk as can be passed out in
0:00:32.309,0:00:38.010
a Wendy's drive-through took over a half
0:00:35.760,0:00:41.399
hour just to get the guy to give a
0:00:38.010,0:00:44.789
coherent story and when he was arrested
0:00:41.399,0:00:47.489
for clearly driving intoxicated he
0:00:44.789,0:00:50.550
decided to resist arrest assault both
0:00:47.489,0:00:54.360
officers steal a Taser and shoot both of
0:00:50.550,0:00:57.120
them with it but here we are going to
0:00:54.360,0:00:59.730
see how we were going to muddy the
0:00:57.120,0:01:02.190
waters hear from Trevor Noah as you can
0:00:59.730,0:01:05.659
see a very discouraging like to dislike
0:01:02.190,0:01:07.979
ratio and that people are positively
0:01:05.659,0:01:11.850
reacting to the spreading of this kind
0:01:07.979,0:01:13.680
of Miz's information from again an
0:01:11.850,0:01:16.530
encounter with the police officer that
0:01:13.680,0:01:19.920
is entirely documented on video and
0:01:16.530,0:01:23.070
should be no confusion about the matter
0:01:19.920,0:01:26.880
for a very clearly justifiable shooting
0:01:23.070,0:01:28.710
on the behalf of officer Rolfe so let's
0:01:26.880,0:01:36.689
get into the very beginning of this
0:01:28.710,0:01:39.030
video what's crazy is another Monday in
0:01:36.689,0:01:44.909
the middle of Corona and in the middle
0:01:39.030,0:01:47.939
of protests and yet it's another Monday
0:01:44.909,0:01:50.369
of another police brutality incident
0:01:47.939,0:01:52.890
like another story no it isn't no it
0:01:50.369,0:01:54.930
most certainly is not this has nothing
0:01:52.890,0:01:58.340
to do with police brutality Rashard
0:01:54.930,0:02:01.619
Brooks was not brutalized by anyone
0:01:58.340,0:02:04.350
again we've had videos on this and sure
0:02:01.619,0:02:07.280
countless content creators have had
0:02:04.350,0:02:10.679
videos on the race yard Brooks video so
0:02:07.280,0:02:15.060
it's not surprising because so much of
0:02:10.679,0:02:19.190
the interaction and every available
0:02:15.060,0:02:21.780
piece of evidence is publicly available
0:02:19.190,0:02:24.750
the entire interaction is caught on
0:02:21.780,0:02:26.879
video we have audio of the entire
0:02:24.750,0:02:30.660
conversation we have the audio of the
0:02:26.879,0:02:33.810
9-1-1 call the laws that officer Ralph
0:02:30.660,0:02:36.090
and his partner who were unjustifiably
0:02:33.810,0:02:38.220
charged in this case those laws are also
0:02:36.090,0:02:40.709
on the books they're of public knowledge
0:02:38.220,0:02:44.099
it this is not by any stretch of the
0:02:40.709,0:02:46.250
imagination a difficult case and one
0:02:44.099,0:02:49.410
where there should be any confusion
0:02:46.250,0:02:51.330
which side you end up on but again
0:02:49.410,0:02:53.760
because of the like and dislike ratio of
0:02:51.330,0:03:05.580
this video there seems to be quite a few
0:02:53.760,0:03:09.500
people misinformed on this case the
0:03:05.580,0:03:11.519
story is out of Atlanta Rashad Brooks
0:03:09.500,0:03:13.560
and forgive me if I get any of the
0:03:11.519,0:03:15.120
details wrong but we are not going to
0:03:13.560,0:03:18.989
forgive you for getting any of the
0:03:15.120,0:03:21.300
details wrong many of which you are
0:03:18.989,0:03:23.550
going to get wrong by the way and no no
0:03:21.300,0:03:26.640
one should forgive you about this you
0:03:23.550,0:03:28.409
have millions of viewers tens of
0:03:26.640,0:03:31.980
thousands of people have approved of
0:03:28.409,0:03:33.720
this commentary on the video and you
0:03:31.980,0:03:35.549
know this and you know the audience
0:03:33.720,0:03:37.530
that's going to be view this so we will
0:03:35.549,0:03:40.980
not forgive you no one should forgive
0:03:37.530,0:03:43.709
you for getting this case so egregiously
0:03:40.980,0:03:51.959
wrong as you did in this video which we
0:03:43.709,0:03:54.689
will see momentarily yes Trevor I've
0:03:51.959,0:03:57.930
seen the video and I've read all the
0:03:54.689,0:04:01.260
stories the police accounts the 9-1-1
0:03:57.930,0:04:04.159
call transcript the laws on the books
0:04:01.260,0:04:08.489
that officer off is being charged with
0:04:04.159,0:04:09.780
again everyone who comments publicly on
0:04:08.489,0:04:13.670
this case it should be familiar with
0:04:09.780,0:04:16.410
them you however or not
0:04:13.670,0:04:21.840
Rashad was in his car in a Wendy's
0:04:16.410,0:04:25.300
drive-through he was drunk or tipsy or
0:04:21.840,0:04:27.849
hit he was drunk he was not tipsy he
0:04:25.300,0:04:30.370
drunk and if you go back and look at a
0:04:27.849,0:04:32.379
particular segment of them questioning
0:04:30.370,0:04:35.110
of the cops questioning Rashard Brooks
0:04:32.379,0:04:38.650
was they actually got him awake he has
0:04:35.110,0:04:40.569
absolutely no idea where he is at one
0:04:38.650,0:04:43.440
point he said he's on the old Dixie
0:04:40.569,0:04:46.120
Highway old Dixie Highway is hours away
0:04:43.440,0:04:50.830
from his current location it's not even
0:04:46.120,0:04:53.199
in the same County of Georgia he even
0:04:50.830,0:04:56.919
goes so far as to say once officer Rolf
0:04:53.199,0:04:59.710
pushes him he thinks he's under the
0:04:56.919,0:05:02.379
impression that he was pulled over along
0:04:59.710,0:05:04.650
the old Dixie Highway so not only does
0:05:02.379,0:05:07.199
he think that he was traveling on a road
0:05:04.650,0:05:10.240
hours away from his current location
0:05:07.199,0:05:12.520
when he is sitting in the car in the
0:05:10.240,0:05:13.979
middle of a parking lot he thinks he's
0:05:12.520,0:05:17.319
pulled over on the highway
0:05:13.979,0:05:21.129
he can't even understand he can't even
0:05:17.319,0:05:23.319
have the awareness to know that he's in
0:05:21.129,0:05:24.000
a parking lot he's not on the side of a
0:05:23.319,0:05:26.830
highway
0:05:24.000,0:05:30.460
this is level of intoxication that goes
0:05:26.830,0:05:36.909
beyond anybody's possible interpretation
0:05:30.460,0:05:38.979
of tipsy fell asleep people are driving
0:05:36.909,0:05:41.469
around his car and so somebody at the
0:05:38.979,0:05:45.159
windi's called the cops the cops arrived
0:05:41.469,0:05:47.409
at Wendy's and you know they get out of
0:05:45.159,0:05:49.659
the car and they start talking to him
0:05:47.409,0:05:51.490
for about thirty minutes you know asking
0:05:49.659,0:05:54.009
him is he drunk why is he driving what's
0:05:51.490,0:05:56.050
going on like they come the comment
0:05:54.009,0:05:59.259
about there being about a half-hour or
0:05:56.050,0:06:01.210
so of conversation is just about the
0:05:59.259,0:06:05.770
only facet of the story that Trevor know
0:06:01.210,0:06:07.590
is going to get correct and the whole
0:06:05.770,0:06:09.940
time throughout this video you have
0:06:07.590,0:06:10.719
human beings being human beings you have
0:06:09.940,0:06:12.849
Rashad
0:06:10.719,0:06:14.830
who's clearly inebriated and he's
0:06:12.849,0:06:16.150
talking to the cops and you have the
0:06:14.830,0:06:17.759
cops asking him the questions that was
0:06:16.150,0:06:20.889
interesting but for me about this videos
0:06:17.759,0:06:22.300
and like in the beginning it seems like
0:06:20.889,0:06:24.550
everything is gonna be fine
0:06:22.300,0:06:28.270
the cops are talking to him like a
0:06:24.550,0:06:30.219
person they're not being for a while for
0:06:28.270,0:06:32.190
a while in this interaction seemed like
0:06:30.219,0:06:35.649
everything was going to be fine because
0:06:32.190,0:06:39.100
for a while although he was spaced out
0:06:35.649,0:06:40.720
of his mind very short Brooks wasn't
0:06:39.100,0:06:42.670
being aggressive he didn't put his hands
0:06:40.720,0:06:46.210
on anybody didn't attempt to run away
0:06:42.670,0:06:49.180
from the scene for the first half hour
0:06:46.210,0:06:52.210
of the conversation it's very easy to be
0:06:49.180,0:06:54.700
seen that he's gonna get taken in on a
0:06:52.210,0:06:57.250
drunk driving charge that's a foregone
0:06:54.700,0:06:59.830
conclusion from the nonsense he was
0:06:57.250,0:07:03.960
spewing out of his mouth but as far as
0:06:59.830,0:07:07.270
aggressiveness is concerned of Court in
0:07:03.960,0:07:10.290
regards to the police officers being in
0:07:07.270,0:07:14.110
any danger or him asserting any force
0:07:10.290,0:07:16.390
against the cops it looked like he was
0:07:14.110,0:07:19.060
just destined to be taken into custody
0:07:16.390,0:07:27.190
for a drunk driving charge let him air
0:07:19.060,0:07:29.260
out in the cell overnight he's being
0:07:27.190,0:07:31.510
respectful he's calling them sir he's
0:07:29.260,0:07:34.510
not he's not cussing them out he's he's
0:07:31.510,0:07:39.400
offering to to walk everything is going
0:07:34.510,0:07:41.620
well everything you cannot the offer to
0:07:39.400,0:07:43.630
walk home is it total non-starter you
0:07:41.620,0:07:47.020
can't simply offer to walk away from
0:07:43.630,0:07:49.300
your own potential crime scene and and
0:07:47.020,0:07:52.000
promise that you'll walk home safely so
0:07:49.300,0:07:55.210
you can just walk out of an arrest
0:07:52.000,0:08:00.660
that's just again a total non-starter
0:07:55.210,0:08:00.660
his offer is irrelevant in that regard
0:08:01.230,0:08:14.700
and then in one moment in just a few
0:08:09.370,0:08:17.710
seconds every part of that normal story
0:08:14.700,0:08:19.810
turns into the abnormal ending that
0:08:17.710,0:08:21.850
we've come to know as interactions with
0:08:19.810,0:08:24.450
police and black people yes the black
0:08:21.850,0:08:27.700
suspect in question resists arrest at
0:08:24.450,0:08:30.640
first engages in non deadly physical
0:08:27.700,0:08:32.680
force in striking them and then takes it
0:08:30.640,0:08:36.370
one step further and engaged in deadly
0:08:32.680,0:08:38.020
force in stealing a cop's weapon running
0:08:36.370,0:08:40.570
away with it and attempting to shoot
0:08:38.020,0:08:42.460
both of them with it it is quite
0:08:40.570,0:08:47.350
familiar it's just not familiar in the
0:08:42.460,0:08:51.010
way that you think it is Trevor because
0:08:47.350,0:08:52.480
the police trying to arrest him he he
0:08:51.010,0:08:56.199
resists any
0:08:52.480,0:08:59.560
with the police not something to be
0:08:56.199,0:09:05.139
poo-pooed to shoo away that's a central
0:08:59.560,0:09:06.730
fact in this case in the scuffle he's
0:09:05.139,0:09:10.240
being absolutely incorrect
0:09:06.730,0:09:12.459
and a complete bold-faced lie from
0:09:10.240,0:09:15.250
Trevor Noah they do not try to tase him
0:09:12.459,0:09:17.680
he tries to take the Taser off of the
0:09:15.250,0:09:22.000
officers absolutely straightaway
0:09:17.680,0:09:24.220
incorrect he gets up he runs away and
0:09:22.000,0:09:26.079
I'm missing a few beats of the story
0:09:24.220,0:09:27.510
because I know you're missing very many
0:09:26.079,0:09:30.610
beats of the story
0:09:27.510,0:09:33.250
for instance the part where he swung at
0:09:30.610,0:09:35.560
both of them the part where he tried to
0:09:33.250,0:09:38.260
take the gun off the police officers
0:09:35.560,0:09:40.720
person without being any threat of being
0:09:38.260,0:09:42.610
shot himself with the Taser you're
0:09:40.720,0:09:50.410
missing quite a few beats of the story
0:09:42.610,0:09:52.510
Trevor but that's a central problem with
0:09:50.410,0:09:55.209
this commentary you don't want to take
0:09:52.510,0:09:58.690
us through too much of it what is too
0:09:55.209,0:10:02.139
much of it the simple chronology of the
0:09:58.690,0:10:04.990
events is really quite basic again
0:10:02.139,0:10:07.980
according to the video a guy was drunk
0:10:04.990,0:10:11.050
passed out in his car 911 was called
0:10:07.980,0:10:11.470
cops showed up they eventually wake him
0:10:11.050,0:10:14.380
up
0:10:11.470,0:10:16.240
they have a conversation a drunken
0:10:14.380,0:10:19.540
conversation on the part of Rashard
0:10:16.240,0:10:22.389
Brooks a half-hour of interrogation is
0:10:19.540,0:10:25.930
done much more than was needed by the
0:10:22.389,0:10:28.810
way to confirm that their specific
0:10:25.930,0:10:29.920
suspicions were correct that Rashard
0:10:28.810,0:10:33.130
Brooks was driving under the influence
0:10:29.920,0:10:36.010
and then he attempted to take him in on
0:10:33.130,0:10:38.529
drunk driving charges and which points
0:10:36.010,0:10:42.910
he wrestled the officers to the ground
0:10:38.529,0:10:44.380
swung at them stole the Taser without
0:10:42.910,0:10:47.470
being under threat of being shot himself
0:10:44.380,0:10:49.690
with it shot the Taser at the officers
0:10:47.470,0:10:54.490
and attempted to run away with the
0:10:49.690,0:10:57.220
police weapon the simple recitation of
0:10:54.490,0:11:01.779
about 20 to 30 seconds of what's on
0:10:57.220,0:11:03.819
video that's the story and you've missed
0:11:01.779,0:11:06.280
again quite a few of those beads and
0:11:03.819,0:11:08.350
it's not forgivable
0:11:06.280,0:11:11.590
for somebody in this situation who has a
0:11:08.350,0:11:14.560
public spotlight who has tens of
0:11:11.590,0:11:17.410
thousands of viewers who approve of this
0:11:14.560,0:11:19.450
content online millions I'm sure in
0:11:17.410,0:11:23.080
total between the TV broadcast and
0:11:19.450,0:11:25.480
online replays of the video as you can
0:11:23.080,0:11:27.670
see there's 2 million videos 2 million
0:11:25.480,0:11:29.260
views just on the video not to mention
0:11:27.670,0:11:32.080
how many people tuned in to Comedy
0:11:29.260,0:11:35.020
Central when this episode was originally
0:11:32.080,0:11:38.310
broadcast it's not forgivable to be this
0:11:35.020,0:11:43.720
wrong about the case and this again
0:11:38.310,0:11:47.560
returns to a very simple yet recurring
0:11:43.720,0:11:52.330
theme with the regressive left lying or
0:11:47.560,0:11:54.160
lazy is he lying did he see the relevant
0:11:52.330,0:11:56.350
portions of the video and he's knowingly
0:11:54.160,0:12:00.910
concealing them in order to push a
0:11:56.350,0:12:04.300
narrative or is he too lazy did he hear
0:12:00.910,0:12:05.890
a black guy shot by white cop knew he
0:12:04.300,0:12:07.960
was drunk and that's just about all the
0:12:05.890,0:12:10.690
information we need here nothing else to
0:12:07.960,0:12:17.290
see here I got enough for a video to be
0:12:10.690,0:12:19.570
broadcast on national television it's
0:12:17.290,0:12:24.640
not essentially what happens Shawn runs
0:12:19.570,0:12:27.900
away and with the police weapon and the
0:12:24.640,0:12:33.970
police chase him as he's running a Taser
0:12:27.900,0:12:37.360
not that that is another central lie in
0:12:33.970,0:12:40.680
his look at his arm right here he shoots
0:12:37.360,0:12:42.850
the Taser this is almost portrayed as if
0:12:40.680,0:12:45.460
Rashard Brooks was attempting to shoot
0:12:42.850,0:12:48.060
the gun in the AR almost like a like a
0:12:45.460,0:12:51.250
flare gun kind of motion to either
0:12:48.060,0:12:54.850
distract the cop so he can fully get
0:12:51.250,0:12:56.740
away from the scene or simply to just
0:12:54.850,0:12:58.589
throw them off maybe they they thought
0:12:56.740,0:13:03.580
they were being shot at but not really
0:12:58.589,0:13:09.310
as a distraction device to get away from
0:13:03.580,0:13:12.790
from from their mitts but this doesn't
0:13:09.310,0:13:16.990
seem like much but again it falls into
0:13:12.790,0:13:18.850
the ultimate maximum of lying or lazy we
0:13:16.990,0:13:19.699
saw from the video that Rashard Brooks
0:13:18.850,0:13:22.459
turns
0:13:19.699,0:13:25.850
his body arm outstretched with the Taser
0:13:22.459,0:13:28.369
pointed directly at officer Ralph it was
0:13:25.850,0:13:31.069
not up in the air it was pointed at an
0:13:28.369,0:13:33.559
officer after he it was already he has
0:13:31.069,0:13:35.839
already demonstrated that he has no
0:13:33.559,0:13:38.209
qualms about assaulting each officer on
0:13:35.839,0:13:43.220
the scene and using the Taser against
0:13:38.209,0:13:44.929
them and one of the cops switches his
0:13:43.220,0:13:47.600
weapons from a Taser to a gun and shoots
0:13:44.929,0:13:54.799
rashard two or three times in the back
0:13:47.600,0:13:56.749
and he's dead and immediately everyone
0:13:54.799,0:13:59.239
everyone goes you know everyone goes to
0:13:56.749,0:14:00.470
their battle stations that's that's what
0:13:59.239,0:14:02.059
plays me about these stories everyone
0:14:00.470,0:14:03.949
just goes to their battle stations you
0:14:02.059,0:14:06.259
know immediately people go well once
0:14:03.949,0:14:08.509
again another example of black people
0:14:06.259,0:14:11.660
resisting the cops and being criminals
0:14:08.509,0:14:14.509
and yes yes that would be the correct
0:14:11.660,0:14:16.759
interpretation but not insofar as
0:14:14.509,0:14:19.569
confirming a narrative it's the correct
0:14:16.759,0:14:22.489
interpretation from again reviewing
0:14:19.569,0:14:28.459
statistics and data regarding crime in
0:14:22.489,0:14:30.949
America and watching and reading again
0:14:28.459,0:14:35.679
needs to be belabored be completely
0:14:30.949,0:14:35.679
publicly available evidence in this case
0:14:37.449,0:14:44.089
and then with their weapon after view
0:14:41.509,0:14:45.980
punched them and already attempted to
0:14:44.089,0:14:51.559
shoot them with it again being
0:14:45.980,0:14:54.350
conveniently left out of the story of
0:14:51.559,0:14:56.809
course another story of cops who
0:14:54.350,0:14:59.660
immediately shoot a black man for just
0:14:56.809,0:15:02.720
sleeping in his car but like it's so
0:14:59.660,0:15:04.879
ironic and we'll see in a few minutes
0:15:02.720,0:15:10.160
here that he attempts to do the
0:15:04.879,0:15:13.720
nonpartisan guy routine in calling out
0:15:10.160,0:15:16.609
each end of the spectrum each
0:15:13.720,0:15:18.889
predictable narrative one side saying
0:15:16.609,0:15:21.169
immediately blame the black suspect
0:15:18.889,0:15:23.600
without knowing more about the case the
0:15:21.169,0:15:25.059
latter of the two narratives saying the
0:15:23.600,0:15:28.249
police officers were too trigger-happy
0:15:25.059,0:15:29.720
all he did was drive drunk he wasn't
0:15:28.249,0:15:33.560
hurting anybody he was just lying asleep
0:15:29.720,0:15:37.220
in his car and then he will almost
0:15:33.560,0:15:39.050
immediately adhere completely to the
0:15:37.220,0:15:40.730
second of those two theories without
0:15:39.050,0:15:43.220
taking the facts of the case into
0:15:40.730,0:15:47.600
consideration really at the drop of the
0:15:43.220,0:15:50.779
Hat engages in the exact lazy narrative
0:15:47.600,0:15:56.860
that he attempted to parse out of this
0:15:50.779,0:15:59.390
commentary to put aside as as lazy as
0:15:56.860,0:16:02.660
not cognizant of the facts of the case
0:15:59.390,0:16:05.060
which is true but the ironic turn of
0:16:02.660,0:16:12.320
events is he does exactly that in the
0:16:05.060,0:16:16.430
rest of this video it's messy it's not
0:16:12.320,0:16:21.380
messy it's not messy it's not ly all
0:16:16.430,0:16:25.610
messy it's not messy the case is very
0:16:21.380,0:16:28.750
straight forward it went through the
0:16:25.610,0:16:31.790
entire series of escalation of force
0:16:28.750,0:16:34.400
that police officers are charged with
0:16:31.790,0:16:37.360
the responsibility of employing when
0:16:34.400,0:16:40.310
necessary it was a completely verbal
0:16:37.360,0:16:43.760
conversation for over a half hour when
0:16:40.310,0:16:45.650
it really didn't need to be after that
0:16:43.760,0:16:48.110
they had probable cause to believe that
0:16:45.650,0:16:50.660
he was driving drunk he had no idea
0:16:48.110,0:16:53.720
where he was he had no idea how to even
0:16:50.660,0:16:55.790
describe the amount or type of alcohol
0:16:53.720,0:17:00.170
he had consumed throughout the day and
0:16:55.790,0:17:02.780
he was clearly passed out in the midst
0:17:00.170,0:17:05.060
of driving through the driveway it was a
0:17:02.780,0:17:07.760
very simple calculation of probable
0:17:05.060,0:17:10.250
cause for drunk driving so after the
0:17:07.760,0:17:14.300
verbal conversation they attend to they
0:17:10.250,0:17:17.750
attempt to arrest him he responded with
0:17:14.300,0:17:20.660
non-deadly force namely wrestling to
0:17:17.750,0:17:25.579
them to the ground punching them and at
0:17:20.660,0:17:27.620
least even if you want to grant reaching
0:17:25.579,0:17:31.970
for the weapon before he actually steals
0:17:27.620,0:17:34.340
it I think that would be a naive because
0:17:31.970,0:17:36.560
what does someone who reaches for a
0:17:34.340,0:17:39.950
potentially deadly weapon plants do with
0:17:36.560,0:17:43.220
that once they gain control of it but
0:17:39.950,0:17:46.280
even beyond that the officer still
0:17:43.220,0:17:47.070
ordered him on several occasions to stop
0:17:46.280,0:17:49.590
put down
0:17:47.070,0:17:51.510
weapon and he nevertheless runs away
0:17:49.590,0:17:55.410
with it and he nevertheless turns around
0:17:51.510,0:18:01.950
to shoot it again at which time officer
0:17:55.410,0:18:04.350
Rolf shoots and kills Rashard Brooks if
0:18:01.950,0:18:06.330
the story didn't happen now maybe we
0:18:04.350,0:18:09.420
would be looking at it differently but
0:18:06.330,0:18:12.300
it's a messy story it's not the perfect
0:18:09.420,0:18:13.770
story and in a weird way it not being
0:18:12.300,0:18:16.260
the perfect story means we should look
0:18:13.770,0:18:17.610
at it in the most perfect way possible
0:18:16.260,0:18:19.950
we should try and break it down and
0:18:17.610,0:18:22.050
understand how something like this comes
0:18:19.950,0:18:25.380
to be because we don't you mean like
0:18:22.050,0:18:27.180
review the entire available video of the
0:18:25.380,0:18:30.270
police confrontation like review the
0:18:27.180,0:18:33.120
video and the transcript from the 9-1-1
0:18:30.270,0:18:36.840
call from the surveillance camera from
0:18:33.120,0:18:38.790
wendy's then look at the district
0:18:36.840,0:18:40.800
attorney's statements trying to justify
0:18:38.790,0:18:45.180
the charges against the responding
0:18:40.800,0:18:48.210
officers and then putting those charges
0:18:45.180,0:18:50.400
up against the actual statements of law
0:18:48.210,0:18:52.860
on the books to see if it's even
0:18:50.400,0:18:54.930
justifiable to think that you can
0:18:52.860,0:19:02.910
entertain a a conviction based on the
0:18:54.930,0:19:05.100
shooting kind of like that that's a
0:19:02.910,0:19:07.770
little kernel of truth that perhaps is
0:19:05.100,0:19:10.200
saying the quiet part out loud you don't
0:19:07.770,0:19:15.540
always have video like this but this is
0:19:10.200,0:19:19.020
a goldmine of evidence every second of
0:19:15.540,0:19:21.960
this interaction that's needed for
0:19:19.020,0:19:25.650
consideration in this case is on video
0:19:21.960,0:19:28.320
and with audio to back it up this is a
0:19:25.650,0:19:31.110
rare occasion where every single piece
0:19:28.320,0:19:33.960
of relevant evidence you can see you can
0:19:31.110,0:19:40.410
watch it you can replay it again you can
0:19:33.960,0:19:44.280
slow it down this is rare but it's rare
0:19:40.410,0:19:50.250
and leading to a conclusion that Trevor
0:19:44.280,0:19:51.390
doesn't like but let's take a moment to
0:19:50.250,0:19:53.390
talk about what happened you have to
0:19:51.390,0:19:55.620
have a man who is sleeping in his car
0:19:53.390,0:19:58.500
right a man who's sleeping in his car
0:19:55.620,0:20:00.600
and he's drunk was he drunk driving
0:19:58.500,0:20:04.200
let's say he is
0:20:00.600,0:20:05.130
say he is how did he get the car to the
0:20:04.200,0:20:09.149
drive-thru
0:20:05.130,0:20:11.159
Trevor how does one order in a driver do
0:20:09.149,0:20:14.580
they get out and push the car from
0:20:11.159,0:20:16.799
behind let's say he was drunk
0:20:14.580,0:20:20.970
yes let's say since that is factually
0:20:16.799,0:20:24.149
correct beyond any shadow of a doubt his
0:20:20.970,0:20:27.809
intoxication level is incontrovertibly
0:20:24.149,0:20:30.570
high undoubtably high the guy had no
0:20:27.809,0:20:32.730
idea where he was and needed several
0:20:30.570,0:20:34.919
minutes of jostling and yelling at him
0:20:32.730,0:20:42.710
just to come to when he was asleep at
0:20:34.919,0:20:46.169
the wheel yes he was driving drunk I
0:20:42.710,0:20:48.360
actually agree with that a law not worth
0:20:46.169,0:20:51.500
dying for it simply driving drunk and
0:20:48.360,0:20:55.919
simply passed out at the wheel
0:20:51.500,0:20:56.279
presumably in park not moving yes you're
0:20:55.919,0:20:57.389
right
0:20:56.279,0:21:00.629
you don't deserve to die for that
0:20:57.389,0:21:03.360
however you cannot make that argument
0:21:00.629,0:21:05.789
once you decide to resist arrest with
0:21:03.360,0:21:08.789
both non deadly and very quickly
0:21:05.789,0:21:11.850
escalating to deadly force and then
0:21:08.789,0:21:14.820
running away into the community while
0:21:11.850,0:21:19.070
being a previously violent felon by the
0:21:14.820,0:21:23.570
way with a potentially deadly weapon
0:21:19.070,0:21:25.620
that turns this case into a very clear
0:21:23.570,0:21:32.299
justifiable shoot on behalf of the
0:21:25.620,0:21:35.340
officer the police approached him and
0:21:32.299,0:21:35.730
even then I asked the question why armed
0:21:35.340,0:21:37.830
police
0:21:35.730,0:21:42.299
dealing with a man who's sleeping in his
0:21:37.830,0:21:48.029
car because Trevor and again available
0:21:42.299,0:21:50.850
by viewing the video some suspects and
0:21:48.029,0:21:53.690
some criminals don't take kindly in to
0:21:50.850,0:21:56.370
take it being taken into police custody
0:21:53.690,0:21:59.220
especially when they have a long and
0:21:56.370,0:22:01.559
storied rap sheet of violent crime
0:21:59.220,0:22:04.529
another arrest on their record is not
0:22:01.559,0:22:06.629
going to look good when it's not going
0:22:04.529,0:22:09.480
to look good and you have those extra
0:22:06.629,0:22:11.490
circumstances you may be willing to put
0:22:09.480,0:22:13.230
up more of a fight than to simply
0:22:11.490,0:22:14.250
cooperate and being taken into custody
0:22:13.230,0:22:17.940
for your
0:22:14.250,0:22:19.620
we're crime he posed no threat to
0:22:17.940,0:22:21.060
anybody no one and Wendy's felt afraid
0:22:19.620,0:22:22.560
cause of driving around him he's not
0:22:21.060,0:22:28.140
stopping people from ordering food so
0:22:22.560,0:22:30.780
yes he was another bold-faced lie he
0:22:28.140,0:22:34.530
absolutely was stopping people from
0:22:30.780,0:22:36.540
driving through the drive-through how
0:22:34.530,0:22:39.420
else would people get around him he's in
0:22:36.540,0:22:42.030
the one lane drive-through and he's in
0:22:39.420,0:22:51.210
park passed out without a care in the
0:22:42.030,0:22:53.550
world of course he was because some
0:22:51.210,0:22:55.860
suspects have no regard with the forest
0:22:53.550,0:22:58.800
that they meet police officers with from
0:22:55.860,0:23:01.890
even the simple questioning or the
0:22:58.800,0:23:06.240
simple taking into custody again up
0:23:01.890,0:23:08.880
until his resisting arrest despite his
0:23:06.240,0:23:11.490
previous criminal record Richard Brooks
0:23:08.880,0:23:14.520
was looking at a DUI charge and for all
0:23:11.490,0:23:16.440
intents purposes she was gonna be taken
0:23:14.520,0:23:18.570
into a holding cell to air out once he
0:23:16.440,0:23:21.150
can get a sense of who the hell he was
0:23:18.570,0:23:25.140
and where the hell he was going or
0:23:21.150,0:23:27.960
attempting to go that's where he was
0:23:25.140,0:23:31.560
going he was going for a sleepover in a
0:23:27.960,0:23:40.770
holding cell until he decided to make
0:23:31.560,0:23:42.810
this violent why are armed police the
0:23:40.770,0:23:44.250
first people who have to go and respond
0:23:42.810,0:23:45.380
to somebody who's sleeping in their car
0:23:44.250,0:23:48.750
who is drunk
0:23:45.380,0:23:52.320
second because drunk people especially
0:23:48.750,0:23:55.170
drunk previous violent felons do not
0:23:52.320,0:23:59.850
have the proper judgment and mindset
0:23:55.170,0:24:02.280
about them to accurately judge who's
0:23:59.850,0:24:05.250
talking to them what threat they're
0:24:02.280,0:24:09.300
under and they do not have the proper
0:24:05.250,0:24:10.080
faculties to assess the consequences of
0:24:09.300,0:24:13.350
their actions
0:24:10.080,0:24:15.660
if you add up all these factors the
0:24:13.350,0:24:19.650
individual in question may very well
0:24:15.660,0:24:22.140
think it more likely and more beneficial
0:24:19.650,0:24:24.450
for him to get violent and to get
0:24:22.140,0:24:27.950
physical to get out of the current
0:24:24.450,0:24:27.950
altercation with the police
0:24:28.750,0:24:35.120
why do the police not give I mean the
0:24:31.700,0:24:36.590
man says to them I will walk home if you
0:24:35.120,0:24:40.480
pretend you don't get to walk away from
0:24:36.590,0:24:42.980
your own crime scene plain and simple
0:24:40.480,0:24:44.600
serving people what is the true purpose
0:24:42.980,0:24:46.429
of you not wanting people to drive drunk
0:24:44.600,0:24:48.559
it's that you don't want them killing
0:24:46.429,0:24:50.000
themselves and other people in this
0:24:48.559,0:24:51.110
instance no one had died because of his
0:24:50.000,0:24:53.410
driving and he hadn't killed himself
0:24:51.110,0:24:56.059
because of his driving yes
0:24:53.410,0:24:59.570
Trevor nice face by the way nice derp
0:24:56.059,0:25:01.820
face very representative of the video he
0:24:59.570,0:25:05.720
hadn't hurt anyone or killed anyone yet
0:25:01.820,0:25:07.730
thank God but that's also partially due
0:25:05.720,0:25:12.260
to the fact that the police intervened
0:25:07.730,0:25:14.990
if the 911 call was not was not
0:25:12.260,0:25:17.179
addressed or even made who's to say he
0:25:14.990,0:25:20.480
doesn't wake up in a half hour still
0:25:17.179,0:25:24.679
drunk out of his mind and pulls through
0:25:20.480,0:25:26.570
the drive-through what if some poor high
0:25:24.679,0:25:27.980
school kid who's getting off their shift
0:25:26.570,0:25:29.540
and walking through the drive-through
0:25:27.980,0:25:32.150
lane to get to their car to go home and
0:25:29.540,0:25:33.220
this guy has no idea where he is faced
0:25:32.150,0:25:36.230
out of his mind
0:25:33.220,0:25:38.600
maybe gets back onto the roads maybe
0:25:36.230,0:25:42.380
some way somehow he finds himself on the
0:25:38.600,0:25:47.179
old Dixie Highway hours away it hadn't
0:25:42.380,0:25:50.500
happened yet if you look at his level of
0:25:47.179,0:25:54.559
intoxication he wasn't going to sober up
0:25:50.500,0:25:57.890
or just around the corner he was spaced
0:25:54.559,0:26:02.679
he was drunk as all hell he was not even
0:25:57.890,0:26:06.010
close to a level of intoxication or
0:26:02.679,0:26:08.510
conversely really a level of sobriety
0:26:06.010,0:26:09.740
where he could be expected to operate a
0:26:08.510,0:26:15.770
motor vehicle safely
0:26:09.740,0:26:17.240
not even close maybe it's because I live
0:26:15.770,0:26:19.360
in a utopian world with the police are
0:26:17.240,0:26:21.980
truly just trying to protect and serve
0:26:19.360,0:26:26.570
you also live in a utopian world that
0:26:21.980,0:26:28.400
does not inform us that blacks in
0:26:26.570,0:26:31.309
America specifically inner-city
0:26:28.400,0:26:34.790
blacks taken as a whole have a much
0:26:31.309,0:26:38.090
higher rate of crime more specifically
0:26:34.790,0:26:39.620
violent crime and in particular when
0:26:38.090,0:26:41.810
compared to other segments of the
0:26:39.620,0:26:45.290
population violence towards police
0:26:41.810,0:26:46.520
officers tickets not trying to get
0:26:45.290,0:26:47.750
enough people arrested I'm not trying to
0:26:46.520,0:26:50.510
fool coaches no they trying to protect
0:26:47.750,0:26:53.180
us so in that instance trying to trying
0:26:50.510,0:26:55.610
to fill quotas are alright tickets this
0:26:53.180,0:26:57.440
is not a parking violation he didn't
0:26:55.610,0:27:00.440
park near a fire hydrant
0:26:57.440,0:27:04.700
he didn't go 30 in a 20 mile-per-hour
0:27:00.440,0:27:10.460
school zone the guy was drunk off his
0:27:04.700,0:27:15.050
ass at the moment was incapacitated in
0:27:10.460,0:27:16.970
his car but that's not to say he had no
0:27:15.050,0:27:19.760
regard for the safety of others when he
0:27:16.970,0:27:23.360
drove to the drive-thru he certainly
0:27:19.760,0:27:26.150
wasn't it wasn't exhibiting any concern
0:27:23.360,0:27:28.100
from from other motorists on the road or
0:27:26.150,0:27:30.080
people who could be walking on the side
0:27:28.100,0:27:33.070
of the road or or trying to cross the
0:27:30.080,0:27:34.790
street when he drove to the Wendy's
0:27:33.070,0:27:37.580
drunk is all hell
0:27:34.790,0:27:40.600
so who's to say that he would have that
0:27:37.580,0:27:43.330
same lack of concern and recklessness
0:27:40.600,0:27:46.460
for those around him only this time
0:27:43.330,0:27:48.710
wouldn't be so lucky as to not happen to
0:27:46.460,0:27:50.690
put anyone else in danger not happened
0:27:48.710,0:27:59.210
to harm anyone else with his drunk
0:27:50.690,0:28:01.730
driving who's to say you do not look fit
0:27:59.210,0:28:03.320
to drive you said your sister lives
0:28:01.730,0:28:05.720
around the corner you said you live
0:28:03.320,0:28:08.150
let's take you we'll take you home with
0:28:05.720,0:28:11.450
no we won't we won't take you home
0:28:08.150,0:28:14.000
because you have committed a crime this
0:28:11.450,0:28:16.400
is not a passive kind of disagreement
0:28:14.000,0:28:18.170
this isn't even someone trying you know
0:28:16.400,0:28:20.720
a lot of times you see it especially in
0:28:18.170,0:28:23.210
in bigger cities when there's kind of
0:28:20.720,0:28:25.760
altercation in the bar and there's a lot
0:28:23.210,0:28:28.250
of yelling and maybe even you know
0:28:25.760,0:28:29.960
cursing and threatening you kind of you
0:28:28.250,0:28:32.810
kick one of them out who started it but
0:28:29.960,0:28:35.570
no one's gonna get a recipes he's not
0:28:32.810,0:28:37.820
coming back in at that point the threat
0:28:35.570,0:28:41.630
has kind of been neutralized at this
0:28:37.820,0:28:44.600
point but that's not this situation and
0:28:41.630,0:28:48.760
this again goes back to a narrative
0:28:44.600,0:28:50.990
which we can cover in another video that
0:28:48.760,0:28:53.470
why didn't the police just drive him
0:28:50.990,0:28:55.490
home because the police don't drive
0:28:53.470,0:28:58.789
criminals home
0:28:55.490,0:29:01.760
that's not what happens when you assess
0:28:58.789,0:29:03.980
probable cause even if there was no
0:29:01.760,0:29:06.950
probable cause you don't just give the
0:29:03.980,0:29:10.690
guy a lift home and this is going back
0:29:06.950,0:29:13.279
to a certain theory about policing and
0:29:10.690,0:29:14.570
it's been popularized by a lot of people
0:29:13.279,0:29:17.299
on the Left a couple of these people
0:29:14.570,0:29:20.830
have been on shows like Joe Rogan's show
0:29:17.299,0:29:24.700
and have really kind of spread this
0:29:20.830,0:29:27.020
utopian unrealistic and I think
0:29:24.700,0:29:29.809
unjustifiable view of the police force
0:29:27.020,0:29:35.120
is that the American police force is not
0:29:29.809,0:29:39.250
an after-school program it's not an uber
0:29:35.120,0:29:42.890
driver it's not a turndown service
0:29:39.250,0:29:44.899
they're there to protect others the
0:29:42.890,0:29:49.190
other people who could be on the road if
0:29:44.899,0:29:51.380
this guy gets back in the car and the
0:29:49.190,0:29:53.690
threat is not really even neutralized
0:29:51.380,0:29:56.480
if you drive him home he's still spaced
0:29:53.690,0:29:58.039
out of his mind who's to say that once
0:29:56.480,0:29:59.539
the cops leave he gets right back in the
0:29:58.039,0:30:03.919
car and goes back to Wendy's he didn't
0:29:59.539,0:30:07.100
get his food you don't know as long as
0:30:03.919,0:30:09.230
the car is still there again he's
0:30:07.100,0:30:10.730
exhibited no conscience for putting
0:30:09.230,0:30:14.029
others in harm's way by getting behind
0:30:10.730,0:30:18.880
the wheel to get to Wendy's so why would
0:30:14.029,0:30:21.320
he just not do it again once he got home
0:30:18.880,0:30:23.480
we didn't find you driving drunk
0:30:21.320,0:30:25.100
we found you asleep in a car so we'll
0:30:23.480,0:30:26.630
give you the benefit of the doubt the
0:30:25.100,0:30:28.730
country is burning down because of the
0:30:26.630,0:30:30.980
way black people are dealt with by the
0:30:28.730,0:30:33.649
police so you know it's being burned
0:30:30.980,0:30:39.799
down because of the black community's
0:30:33.649,0:30:42.200
response to people like you and people
0:30:39.799,0:30:45.830
like you having the commentary that you
0:30:42.200,0:30:48.200
do and having this this ghost story
0:30:45.830,0:30:51.070
effect on the black community that's
0:30:48.200,0:30:54.039
what can't be lost in a lot of this is
0:30:51.070,0:30:56.570
the black community does have a
0:30:54.039,0:31:00.260
conspiratorial view of the police and
0:30:56.570,0:31:03.830
it's unjustifiable but think again weird
0:31:00.260,0:31:06.470
they got that from the majority of the
0:31:03.830,0:31:08.740
parents and the school teachers and the
0:31:06.470,0:31:11.320
people on social media and the people
0:31:08.740,0:31:15.460
on TV like Trevor Noah their church
0:31:11.320,0:31:18.370
leaders so-called urban groups and black
0:31:15.460,0:31:20.770
rights groups all Jam into their head
0:31:18.370,0:31:23.320
for years on end during their formative
0:31:20.770,0:31:27.179
years growing up that this is the state
0:31:23.320,0:31:30.160
of affairs now backed up by any evidence
0:31:27.179,0:31:33.190
but you could understand how a young
0:31:30.160,0:31:36.100
black man in America in his early 20s
0:31:33.190,0:31:38.440
can come about that mindset it's been
0:31:36.100,0:31:40.660
jammed in his head since he was 10 or 12
0:31:38.440,0:31:43.330
years old from every supposed to
0:31:40.660,0:31:45.820
authority figure both in his life and in
0:31:43.330,0:31:48.760
public view yeah you're gonna start
0:31:45.820,0:32:00.520
adhering to that narrative is incorrect
0:31:48.760,0:32:01.570
as it is the way you think I'm not
0:32:00.520,0:32:08.130
saying they had to do that but it would
0:32:01.570,0:32:11.320
have been nice they arrest him he fights
0:32:08.130,0:32:13.059
now you know what's messy about this
0:32:11.320,0:32:14.830
whole thing is we forget you are dealing
0:32:13.059,0:32:16.720
with a drunk person you're dealing with
0:32:14.830,0:32:18.070
someone the very fact that you don't
0:32:16.720,0:32:20.350
know how to sign a contract when you're
0:32:18.070,0:32:23.140
drunk the very fact that you don't do
0:32:20.350,0:32:25.270
anything when you're drunk this is this
0:32:23.140,0:32:27.550
is a specific point that I haven't seen
0:32:25.270,0:32:29.950
a lot of people address in this video I
0:32:27.550,0:32:34.690
know that AI you went a little bit into
0:32:29.950,0:32:35.980
this point that he was drunk so we
0:32:34.690,0:32:38.610
almost have to treat him with kids
0:32:35.980,0:32:40.510
gloves or or give him a different
0:32:38.610,0:32:42.610
expectation for how he should be
0:32:40.510,0:32:45.880
interacting with the police officers but
0:32:42.610,0:32:48.910
it's explicit in American criminal law
0:32:45.880,0:32:52.780
that your intoxication level does not
0:32:48.910,0:32:55.240
forgive your crimes because the very
0:32:52.780,0:32:58.720
obvious consequence of having it the way
0:32:55.240,0:33:00.520
the Trevor wishes to have it is that
0:32:58.720,0:33:02.620
it's absolute forgiveness for the crimes
0:33:00.520,0:33:05.500
you commit while you're drunk it's again
0:33:02.620,0:33:09.400
at its AG literal get-out-of-jail-free
0:33:05.500,0:33:12.610
card whenever you want to be motivated
0:33:09.400,0:33:14.590
to do a crime just swallow a little
0:33:12.610,0:33:16.080
liquid courage and you'll get off the
0:33:14.590,0:33:19.800
hook
0:33:16.080,0:33:22.210
it's a very clear policy point for why
0:33:19.800,0:33:26.230
intoxication does not get you
0:33:22.210,0:33:32.830
out of being arrested and does not work
0:33:26.230,0:33:33.970
at trial to get you acquitted tells us
0:33:32.830,0:33:35.950
something about drunk do we know what a
0:33:33.970,0:33:37.300
drunk person is in society they're not
0:33:35.950,0:33:39.460
gonna do the logical thing so as a
0:33:37.300,0:33:41.830
policeman if a drunk person does an
0:33:39.460,0:33:43.060
illogical thing like I feel like you
0:33:41.830,0:33:43.690
should ignore the fact that they've
0:33:43.060,0:33:46.000
drunk
0:33:43.690,0:33:49.780
it doesn't mean again along the
0:33:46.000,0:33:52.510
timelines of events even regardless of
0:33:49.780,0:33:56.560
the fact that he's drunk when is officer
0:33:52.510,0:33:59.890
Roth supposed to no longer treat this as
0:33:56.560,0:34:03.190
a bluff you've had a very calm
0:33:59.890,0:34:04.870
conversation with someone who was drunk
0:34:03.190,0:34:08.080
spaced out of their mind
0:34:04.870,0:34:10.420
and when you attempted to arrest him he
0:34:08.080,0:34:12.430
assaults you okay he still shouldn't
0:34:10.420,0:34:14.980
treat him as a threat to he's drunk he
0:34:12.430,0:34:18.390
sold your partner still not enough of
0:34:14.980,0:34:20.980
the threat he tries to steal your taser
0:34:18.390,0:34:24.670
he tries to steal your taser after
0:34:20.980,0:34:27.970
yelling at him not to several times he
0:34:24.670,0:34:30.280
steals a Taser well he's drunk he can't
0:34:27.970,0:34:33.220
do anything about that he attempts to
0:34:30.280,0:34:34.870
shoot your partner with the Taser still
0:34:33.220,0:34:38.320
not enough of a threat he's drunk after
0:34:34.870,0:34:40.210
all he runs away with it thus
0:34:38.320,0:34:44.680
endangering the rest of the community
0:34:40.210,0:34:47.110
he's a fleeing felon now if someone else
0:34:44.680,0:34:49.090
were to stop him or for another officer
0:34:47.110,0:34:51.700
maybe on the beat down the road tries to
0:34:49.090,0:34:53.320
stop him why do you think he has the
0:34:51.700,0:34:55.390
Taser what do you think he's going to do
0:34:53.320,0:34:57.730
with it he's already demonstrated to two
0:34:55.390,0:34:59.950
officers that he's not afraid of using
0:34:57.730,0:35:03.750
it against people who are attempting to
0:34:59.950,0:35:03.750
stop him from fleeing the scene
0:35:04.860,0:35:09.190
detoxication level is irrelevant here
0:35:07.120,0:35:13.270
you're responsible for your own actions
0:35:09.190,0:35:15.700
and you making the decision to ingest a
0:35:13.270,0:35:18.850
certain amount of alcohol before you
0:35:15.700,0:35:21.520
commit a crime this does not forgive
0:35:18.850,0:35:24.370
your your subsequent actions and is not
0:35:21.520,0:35:27.040
a reason to get out of an arrest or to
0:35:24.370,0:35:29.650
flee the scene or to assault police
0:35:27.040,0:35:35.050
officers it's simply not excuse for your
0:35:29.650,0:35:35.830
own criminality drunk we know what drunk
0:35:35.050,0:35:37.210
people
0:35:35.830,0:35:38.950
I've been drunk you've been drunk
0:35:37.210,0:35:41.260
everyone has been drunk you don't have
0:35:38.950,0:35:42.910
you ever tried to assault a police
0:35:41.260,0:35:45.880
officer while you were drunk Trevor I
0:35:42.910,0:35:48.490
have not I that I have not gotten to
0:35:45.880,0:35:49.990
that level personally yet where I
0:35:48.490,0:35:53.380
thought it was a good idea to swing on a
0:35:49.990,0:35:57.070
police officer that's a level of
0:35:53.380,0:35:59.950
intoxication that I'm unaware of to
0:35:57.070,0:36:04.120
swing on a police officer and his
0:35:59.950,0:36:06.510
partner who were both armed and then to
0:36:04.120,0:36:08.950
steal their weapon and run away with it
0:36:06.510,0:36:10.930
that's a level of intoxication of
0:36:08.950,0:36:18.850
intoxication that I don't think I'll
0:36:10.930,0:36:20.530
ever know and if he didn't die because
0:36:18.850,0:36:23.020
he was drunk he died because he
0:36:20.530,0:36:25.420
assaulted both officers with non-deadly
0:36:23.020,0:36:28.360
force then assaulted them both with
0:36:25.420,0:36:31.570
potentially deadly force and also just
0:36:28.360,0:36:35.800
decided to leave the crime scene fleeing
0:36:31.570,0:36:38.410
as a felon again with the possession of
0:36:35.800,0:36:41.710
a weapon to inflict potentially deadly
0:36:38.410,0:36:45.250
force on other officers these officers
0:36:41.710,0:36:45.880
again or any bystander that may come in
0:36:45.250,0:36:52.330
his way
0:36:45.880,0:36:54.570
once he's escaped the scene then they
0:36:52.330,0:36:57.280
shouldn't be responding
0:36:54.570,0:36:59.740
if you responding to a person who's
0:36:57.280,0:37:01.390
drunk means that person can be dead the
0:36:59.740,0:37:03.190
whole point of you going there was to
0:37:01.390,0:37:04.600
make sure that people don't die because
0:37:03.190,0:37:05.920
of whatever's happened but if the people
0:37:04.600,0:37:08.220
are gonna end up dead anyway then what's
0:37:05.920,0:37:08.220
the point
0:37:09.000,0:37:15.520
blur linear time just blur linear time
0:37:12.370,0:37:19.810
he was drunk and he died all the moments
0:37:15.520,0:37:23.040
in between do not matter to this man and
0:37:19.810,0:37:25.900
people say he's drunk
0:37:23.040,0:37:29.070
you are excusing this is an eight and a
0:37:25.900,0:37:33.160
half minute video of you excusing it
0:37:29.070,0:37:35.140
drunk in a situation like that the sober
0:37:33.160,0:37:37.750
person in my opinion the sober person
0:37:35.140,0:37:39.910
the onus is upon them to make sure the
0:37:37.750,0:37:41.950
situation doesn't get out of hand they
0:37:39.910,0:37:43.300
were making sure the situation did it
0:37:41.950,0:37:45.550
get out of hand that's why they
0:37:43.300,0:37:49.329
questioned him calmly for over a half
0:37:45.550,0:37:51.309
hour against the entire weight of that
0:37:49.329,0:37:53.529
evidence supporting a drunk driving
0:37:51.309,0:38:00.190
charge they still gave him the benefit
0:37:53.529,0:38:03.400
of the doubt how long are they supposed
0:38:00.190,0:38:07.089
to let this criminality go before they
0:38:03.400,0:38:09.249
call BS on him should they have both
0:38:07.089,0:38:11.499
been shot by the Taser is that is that
0:38:09.249,0:38:14.680
still not enough of the threat and
0:38:11.499,0:38:16.569
moreover if he's already swung on both
0:38:14.680,0:38:18.759
officers he already hit them both with
0:38:16.569,0:38:21.880
the Taser say he incapacitates both
0:38:18.759,0:38:22.769
officers who's to say he doesn't steal
0:38:21.880,0:38:25.660
their firearm
0:38:22.769,0:38:27.910
why wouldn't he he's already stolen one
0:38:25.660,0:38:28.989
weapon off them now they're passed out
0:38:27.910,0:38:45.700
after being tased
0:38:28.989,0:38:47.739
why wouldn't he because he's a violent
0:38:45.700,0:38:49.869
felon that's how it ended in him losing
0:38:47.739,0:38:51.640
his life he's a violent felon who
0:38:49.869,0:38:53.589
attacks police officer steals their
0:38:51.640,0:38:55.719
weapon tries to shoot them with it and
0:38:53.589,0:38:57.999
then tries to escape with it to inflict
0:38:55.719,0:39:03.729
that same damage upon anybody who may
0:38:57.999,0:39:05.559
cross his path and people always say the
0:39:03.729,0:39:07.719
same thing they go well you know if you
0:39:05.559,0:39:09.880
didn't do that then you would still be
0:39:07.719,0:39:13.569
alive yes that's absolutely correct
0:39:09.880,0:39:15.459
that's absolutely correct going back to
0:39:13.569,0:39:17.440
what we said earlier in the video if he
0:39:15.459,0:39:20.049
had complied he was gonna air out in a
0:39:17.440,0:39:24.089
holding cell and then as far as criminal
0:39:20.049,0:39:27.190
charges and it's interaction and effect
0:39:24.089,0:39:29.349
with his previous criminal record that's
0:39:27.190,0:39:32.319
to be determined but as far as him being
0:39:29.349,0:39:34.029
alive if he would have just let those
0:39:32.319,0:39:35.739
two cuffs go on him and get in the car
0:39:34.029,0:39:37.499
he would be alive today
0:39:35.739,0:39:39.969
but he didn't didn't do that
0:39:37.499,0:39:41.859
intoxication or otherwise he saw a fit
0:39:39.969,0:39:44.109
to fight back in a myriad of ways
0:39:41.859,0:39:45.880
against both police officers and this
0:39:44.109,0:39:58.140
was the predictable and really
0:39:45.880,0:40:00.249
justifiable result oh if you didn't
0:39:58.140,0:40:02.530
resist arrest if you didn't resist
0:40:00.249,0:40:03.940
arrest it would still be alive Oh
0:40:02.530,0:40:05.770
if you didn't run away from the cops you
0:40:03.940,0:40:07.510
would still be alive well if you didn't
0:40:05.770,0:40:09.570
have a toy gun and with 12 years old in
0:40:07.510,0:40:12.280
the mirror Isis 12
0:40:09.570,0:40:15.730
no matter the fact that he was like 510
0:40:12.280,0:40:19.080
and a buck 60 and in cases of
0:40:15.730,0:40:23.260
determining probable cause you don't use
0:40:19.080,0:40:24.670
consequential facts after after the
0:40:23.260,0:40:27.220
incident to support probable cause
0:40:24.670,0:40:35.500
because people die if you wait too long
0:40:27.220,0:40:36.730
without intervening well you know what
0:40:35.500,0:40:38.350
if you weren't wearing a hoodie you
0:40:36.730,0:40:43.390
would have still been alive well George
0:40:38.350,0:40:45.610
Zimmerman was not a police officer this
0:40:43.390,0:40:47.530
goes into the larger narrative that we
0:40:45.610,0:40:50.110
don't care the black lives matter we
0:40:47.530,0:40:51.580
don't care enough about those who died
0:40:50.110,0:40:56.950
at the hands of the police
0:40:51.580,0:40:59.080
unjustifiably but isn't it a cut against
0:40:56.950,0:41:02.200
that argument that we are real it again
0:40:59.080,0:41:04.450
in cases like Michael Brown who clearly
0:41:02.200,0:41:07.510
tried to kill police officer more than
0:41:04.450,0:41:11.100
once also backed up by half a dozen
0:41:07.510,0:41:14.230
black witnesses at the crime scene and
0:41:11.100,0:41:17.170
Trayvon Martin who was not shot by a
0:41:14.230,0:41:19.210
police officer and was only shot after
0:41:17.170,0:41:24.130
he beat someone's head into the ground
0:41:19.210,0:41:27.430
viciously and waited til he started to
0:41:24.130,0:41:29.860
bleed out before he actually got the
0:41:27.430,0:41:34.180
predictable outcome of that case being
0:41:29.860,0:41:35.560
shot in self-defense isn't it kind of
0:41:34.180,0:41:38.110
cut against narratives that we don't
0:41:35.560,0:41:40.120
care about black lives that most of the
0:41:38.110,0:41:42.580
country is willing to relitigate these
0:41:40.120,0:41:48.940
very clear cases from almost a decade
0:41:42.580,0:41:50.800
ago one case is totally inapplicable to
0:41:48.940,0:41:53.620
the current situation in that no police
0:41:50.800,0:41:56.590
was involved and other cases like Tamir
0:41:53.620,0:41:59.170
rice and Michael Brown there were very
0:41:56.590,0:42:01.870
clear determinations a problem because
0:41:59.170,0:42:05.290
yet the entertaining and the relitigated
0:42:01.870,0:42:07.330
years after it shows that we are willing
0:42:05.290,0:42:10.090
to do our due diligence and revisit
0:42:07.330,0:42:12.400
cases that really should be dead and
0:42:10.090,0:42:15.600
gone at this point they shouldn't be a
0:42:12.400,0:42:15.600
blip on anyone's radar
0:42:16.480,0:42:20.160
back to the cops you would have still
0:42:17.800,0:42:24.400
been alive if you what case is that from
0:42:20.160,0:42:26.290
what case is that from were you copped
0:42:24.400,0:42:28.900
an attitude with the officer and now
0:42:26.290,0:42:30.700
you're dead this is a very conflation
0:42:28.900,0:42:32.410
and we're gonna get into this when we
0:42:30.700,0:42:35.890
wrap up the video here in a minute this
0:42:32.410,0:42:38.530
is not lazy at the beginning we went
0:42:35.890,0:42:40.660
over a simple alternative here that you
0:42:38.530,0:42:43.840
can apply to people like Trevor Noah and
0:42:40.660,0:42:45.340
the Young Turks lying or lazy do you
0:42:43.840,0:42:47.109
know what the real story is and you're
0:42:45.340,0:42:49.300
telling a different one anyway or are
0:42:47.109,0:42:51.100
you too lazy to even give a crap to
0:42:49.300,0:43:02.680
learn the facts of the case this is
0:42:51.100,0:43:04.630
lying I'm not as familiar with the
0:43:02.680,0:43:06.730
Brianna Taylor case but I am familiar
0:43:04.630,0:43:10.300
insofar as I have not seen a single
0:43:06.730,0:43:15.550
person from the right justifying her
0:43:10.300,0:43:17.970
death not a single person but again the
0:43:15.550,0:43:20.410
conflation of cases that are
0:43:17.970,0:43:23.560
unjustifiable with those that are just a
0:43:20.410,0:43:26.590
file ball is not only dishonest is not
0:43:23.560,0:43:28.240
only a lie but unbeknownst to people
0:43:26.590,0:43:31.720
like Trevor Noah does a disservice to
0:43:28.240,0:43:33.850
people who were unjustifiably killed
0:43:31.720,0:43:36.970
Walter Scott does not deserve to be
0:43:33.850,0:43:38.680
lumped in with Michael Brown certainly
0:43:36.970,0:43:40.359
doesn't deserve to be lumped in with
0:43:38.680,0:43:43.420
trayvon martin which is a totally
0:43:40.359,0:43:47.890
different fact pattern Brianna Taylor
0:43:43.420,0:43:52.270
and even George Floyd don't deserve to
0:43:47.890,0:43:55.060
be lumped in with the Rashard Brooks but
0:43:52.270,0:43:56.740
according Trevor they do they are lumped
0:43:55.060,0:43:58.690
together they do belong in the same
0:43:56.740,0:44:03.210
narrative because it's white cop on
0:43:58.690,0:44:03.210
black suspect that's it end of story
0:44:08.609,0:44:16.090
absolute total bullshit absolute total
0:44:12.940,0:44:19.150
bullshit Trevor Noah is a liar this
0:44:16.090,0:44:22.240
entire video was done knowing the facts
0:44:19.150,0:44:24.790
of the case he knew enough to know that
0:44:22.240,0:44:27.100
that Rashard Brooks was drunk at the
0:44:24.790,0:44:28.390
beginning of the conversation he knows
0:44:27.100,0:44:29.800
enough to know that they had a
0:44:28.390,0:44:32.140
conversation for at least
0:44:29.800,0:44:36.460
half-hour so he's at least familiar with
0:44:32.140,0:44:39.100
the main video so therefore the
0:44:36.460,0:44:41.770
conclusion that he died and he would
0:44:39.100,0:44:43.900
otherwise still be alive because he was
0:44:41.770,0:44:46.390
black is an outright lie he's familiar
0:44:43.900,0:44:48.910
enough with the sequence of events and
0:44:46.390,0:44:50.830
the chronology of this case - no - that
0:44:48.910,0:44:55.050
is unsupportable by the evidence
0:44:50.830,0:44:56.980
completely unsupportable by the evidence
0:44:55.050,0:44:59.170
well that's our show for tonight
0:44:56.980,0:45:01.480
but before we go the daily show this is
0:44:59.170,0:45:04.060
a very sad state of offense of events
0:45:01.480,0:45:07.900
here a very state of sad state of
0:45:04.060,0:45:14.650
affairs and and really the public's
0:45:07.900,0:45:19.270
knowledge of basic civics and basic
0:45:14.650,0:45:28.120
elements of policing in America look at
0:45:19.270,0:45:30.940
this ratio 7.3 to 1 in favor of those in
0:45:28.120,0:45:34.270
the country who do not understand police
0:45:30.940,0:45:36.820
measures do not understand the
0:45:34.270,0:45:42.300
criminality that police officers have to
0:45:36.820,0:45:44.470
face and the normal everyday calm
0:45:42.300,0:45:47.350
conversations and circumstances that
0:45:44.470,0:45:51.240
officers initially respond to like in
0:45:47.350,0:45:54.730
this case that unjustifiably and
0:45:51.240,0:45:56.500
unbeknownst to them at the time be taken
0:45:54.730,0:45:59.530
into physical altercations and
0:45:56.500,0:46:02.440
potentially deadly altercations with the
0:45:59.530,0:46:04.380
suspect this is an absolutely by the
0:46:02.440,0:46:07.360
books justifiable shooting
0:46:04.380,0:46:11.940
Rashard Brooks tried on numerous
0:46:07.360,0:46:14.800
occasions and succeeded in summonses in
0:46:11.940,0:46:17.770
assaulting both officers resisting
0:46:14.800,0:46:19.180
arrest multiple times stealing a weapon
0:46:17.770,0:46:21.190
against the orders of the police
0:46:19.180,0:46:23.290
officers and trying to shoot both of
0:46:21.190,0:46:26.500
them with it and who knows would have
0:46:23.290,0:46:28.270
happened beyond that if the Taser had
0:46:26.500,0:46:31.390
landed on both of them this is a
0:46:28.270,0:46:33.550
clear-cut case of acceptable force used
0:46:31.390,0:46:37.090
by the police officers and the fact that
0:46:33.550,0:46:39.970
both officers especially officer Ralph
0:46:37.090,0:46:41.670
is being charged with the charges with
0:46:39.970,0:46:43.530
the heinous crimes that he is is
0:46:41.670,0:46:47.290
absolutely unforgivable
0:46:43.530,0:46:49.360
especially before the GBI investigation
0:46:47.290,0:46:51.760
unit of the state of Georgia has
0:46:49.360,0:46:54.040
finished their findings this is the
0:46:51.760,0:46:57.010
total miscarriage of justice and we can
0:46:54.040,0:46:59.560
only hope for the time being that both
0:46:57.010,0:47:03.130
officers are acquitted while people like
0:46:59.560,0:47:05.710
me like people who are like-minded and
0:47:03.130,0:47:09.010
support the message and analysis of
0:47:05.710,0:47:11.140
videos like this while we chip away at
0:47:09.010,0:47:13.420
the misinformation spreading across the
0:47:11.140,0:47:17.050
country in terms of the American police
0:47:13.420,0:47:21.060
force this has been fate of the Union
0:47:17.050,0:47:21.060
thanks for watching everybody bye bye
