![]() ![]() Noah added that the situation got even messier because Brooks was drunk. ![]() The Daily Show host said he wished an officer would have given Brooks the benefit of the doubt and helped him get home because “the country’s burning down because of the way black people are dealt with by the police.” He added that he wished the cop would have told Brooks, “Let us show you, just in a moment, that it doesn’t always have to end the way you think it has to end.” In this instance, no one has died because of his driving and he hadn’t killed himself because of his driving.” “The man says to them, ‘I will walk home.’ If you’re protecting and serving people, what is the true purpose of you not wanting people to drive drunk? It’s that you don’t want them killing themselves and other people. Noah then questioned why the cops didn’t offer to help Brooks get home safely. “So why are armed police there in the first place?” He’s not stopping people from ordering food,” said Noah. He then called out the police for being armed when approaching Brooks, who was committing a non-violent crime. “Was he drunk driving? Let’s say that he is,” he said. Noah then took a deeper look into the story. We should try and break it down and understand how something like this comes to be because we don’t always have video like this. It’s not the perfect story, and in a weird way, it not being the perfect story means we should look at it in the most perfect way possible. “If the story didn’t happen now, maybe we would be looking at it differently. “No one wants to admit that the thing is messy,” said the host. Another story of cops who immediately shoot a black man for just sleeping in his car,'” he continued. “Then, of course, you have other people, you know, in their battle stations saying, ‘Oh, of course. “Immediately people go, ‘Well, once again, another example of black people resisting the cops and being criminals’ and ‘Why are you driving drunk?’ and ‘Why are you running away from the police?'” Everyone just goes to their battle stations,” said Noah. “That’s what plagues me about these stories. People were quick to choose sides after the killing. As he’s running, he shoots off the taser and one of the cops switches his weapons from a taser to a gun and shoots Rayshard two or three times in the back and he’s dead.” While he’s being tased, he grabs the taser, he gets up, he runs away,” recapped Noah. The police attempted to arrest Brooks and he resisted. He’s being respectful.”Įverything initially seemed to be “going well” between Brooks and the cops, Noah said, though “in just a few seconds every part of that normal story turns into the abnormal ending that we’ve come to know as interactions with police and black people.” “The cops are talking to him like a person,” he said. The host noted that the beginning of the video made it seem like everything would be fine.
