“We’re told time and time again that these incidents that Black Americans are experiencing are because of bad apples, right?” The Daily Show host said in an impassioned segment in response to the police killing of Daunte Wright. ”‘There are bad apples in these police departments who are doing these things. They use chokeholds that are not allowed. They use excessive force. They’re violent in their words and in their actions to the people they’re meant to be protecting and serving.’ My question, though, is where are the good apples? If we’re meant to believe that the police system in America, the system of policing itself is not fundamentally broken, then we would need to see good apples ... Where are the cops who are stopping the cop from putting their knee on George Floyd’s neck? Because there’s not one cop at that scene."
