Bill Maher Says That Police Culture Has To Change (Video)
July 18, 2016
Above: Bill Maher tells Stephen Colbert that we need policing as a society. He values the police and denounces shooting of police, like most, BUT he understands why police got shot at this point.
You can only look at so many videos of shooting unarmed Black people. I’m surprised it didn’t happen before.
Wow. Then Colbert follows up with a quote from the late President John F. Kennedy: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” Then Maher goes in further: Police culture – attracting the wrong types of people, protecting wrongdoers within their ranks, not administering true justice when wrongdoers are caught, even the training – HAS to change!
Yeah. By this point in the evening, the funny part of the show was over, as Maher declared.
(Well, actually, they got in some more joke pokes… some at each other… but, trust, the serious power of what was said was not diminished.)
Incredible conversation The Late Show. Colbert keeps bringing thoughtful TV to CBS; while allowing what needs to be said to be said. Watch.
