Are All Cops Racist?: The Daily Show

since I've been in America a lot of people have asked me if I'm having a hard time adjusting to living in the country and the truth is yes some things are harder to understand than others for instance why do you let the baby Lyons in a sand box in your bathrooms and why did you let that giant Mouse ruin a magical kingdom within your borders no no not that I was talking about the other one yeah luckily there are things that do remind me of home for instance having a black president and the difficulty of talking about race relations especially when the police are involved the only people in our society they don't believe all lives matter generally liberals we don't need to say all lives matter because white white citizens aren't dying at the hands of the least why has the black lives matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group when people say all lives matter it's actually a violent statement I've seen far more racism against the cops it's a divisive issue it's almost as if there's no common ground well it really does seem like there's no common ground it's almost as if this whole issue is just black and oh I get it it's a cookie the problem is a cookie the question is how can we even attempt to solve this problem in this heated environment to find out Jordan Klepper and Roy Wood jr. filed this reports over the past year cops have faced increasing scrutiny based on their actions against minorities to get to the bottom of this The Daily Show sent not one but two correspondents to go deep super deep so we decided to sit down with some cops to see why their races are attack tonight on the graphic right here no graphic no graphic Oh after all the shootings of unarmed minorities throughout the country the nation is now split into two camps either the cops are racist or they're not racist but only one side can be right so we sat down with former NYPD detective and Fox News contributor Bo Dietl to get the definitive answer there's a tough question to ask Bo what I got to ask it good our police racist no it's good enough for me I'm satisfied we're good here unbelievable are you serious yeah you're not gonna ask him any more questions he said they're not racist NYPD whooping ass Bobo look Bo I'm sure those about bias so he's new all cops are not racist everyone's starting to believe like you are that here is a overwhelming conspiracy with all the cops no oh let's go get a black guy and beat him to death that's not what's going on there of course a cop's going to say police aren't racist but what about an expert who runs a center which studies the police dr. phil goff okay so let's start with the facts all cops are racist no all cops are not racist told you I'll cops are awesome no all cops are not awesome there's a nuance to this there is nuance to this police like everybody else hold implicit bias is implicit bias is the shorthand that we take for the automatic association between people and stereotypes that we have about those people and we've done that with black and crime a whole heck of a lot almost all people hold implicit biases I don't hold any biases I'm only biases I look at him I see you clueless white dude I look good okay shirt tucked in the local better man trust me I trust this guy right he's good southern charm is a black dude without earrings yeah I like that good if it's true that neither of you have biases then you are very rare individuals well I think that's true I'm amazing not surprisingly there's a program that nerdy Suge Knight developed which trains police officers to delink bias from their decision-making we've been very involved in training officers too the influence of their biases on their behaviors so a police chief comes to you and says help we just shot a black kid they use help us so we quit doing it police chiefs usually don't call us and say help but some Police Department's have sought out these techniques like this deadly force simulator which shows a series of real-life situations that test your ability to not act on assumptions of race hey what are you doing what biases this empire bias training consists of three key components scenario-based training written testing and talking it out to see it in action we headed to the Madison Wisconsin Police Department one of the few in the country that has an extensive anti-bias program and there's a compelling reason why tonight there are protests over another deadly police shooting of an unarmed man after complaints of a confrontation this one last night in Madison Wisconsin so we sat down with the Madison chief of police Mike Koval to ask one little question are all police biased yes the police have biases Kadim Donna said it who are you calling black people you just calling black people yes let me get that number yeah I'm in Wisconsin white you just said it bias all of them uh-huh tell black Twitter your about black Twitter no yeah black Twitter hello black Twitter hello you should get a black Twitter it's hilarious I don't know what they're talked about at the time but it is funny so he admitted they're biased and I have to say they seem like pretty nice guys there you go good yeah this is a nice piece yeah hi my man and then the scenario-based training began of course a couple of unbiased reporters like us would ace this all right role players you want to get in position all right Jordan you can go ahead and observe we have the the rap star over here who clearly I hit this pregnant woman I'd arrest these two guys and get back to business it's not a rap star he doesn't have a gold chain all right role players can you share with them what happened here oh okay you okay okay 190 PRC be okay over why is the black guy trying to kill the lady who's having a heart attack okay okay let's try this one more time this scenario is called the domestic disturbance you're gonna observe the scene you know maybe verbally control people involved this guy's getting too old for that label eglee the webbing have you seen lethal weapon like bad boys I don't know I seen that boy's yeah I bet his dude if your first Jordan action is everything okay in here excuse me get away from the woman get away from the woman get down did Donald around get down on the ground get down on the ground ma'am it's gonna be all right and seeing that was fun that was fun huh yeah you were great it's scary try it we all love it I'm sorry about him officer Prado all right action stop crying stop crying what happened why are you crying don't getting too old for it what 7 - we gonna need a white female officer to come handle this knock knock hello officer wood as a white female officer I'll take care of this are you ok get on the ground get on the ground get on the ground get away get away you know what ok so maybe we do have our own biases and this training can go a long way to help officers make bias-free decisions on the street this is great oh but there's just one little problem you see the shooting of Tony Robinson was six months ago the Madison PD started their bias training six years ago what the hell calls all what you have to say for yourself the kids we've got to acknowledge that this is a problem that is recurring with all to greater frequency because if no one's talking because we're all hunkered and bunkered down there's no possible way we can move the needle forward so I think if nothing else show affirmative steps that you're doing something damn it that's going to make the training less likely to end in those outcomes okay fine but talk is cheap combines training really change police behavior how can we as a public bind to the realism that police bias training could work when you have so many incidents like Tony Robinson Freddie great Walter Scott senator bland Eric garner somebody would get shot next month implicit bias training is a good idea but it's not sufficient you don't want to just do a training you always want to do trainings with policy changes with community engagement and even that they're still going to be these incidents because we live in a world where policing is frequently the symptom not the cause of the inequality it can't be that police are on one side communities on the other the police are the public and the public are the police just like in bad boys yeah you seen bad boys it's not at all like bad boys it's a little bit like bad boys it's not at all like that boys I mean like I've even seen that I've seen bad boys so it's kind of like that it's not at all like that boys bad boys bad boys what you gonna do what you gonna do when we go for you with an open mind and an awareness of our biases and cultural differences nice people when we come for you why the hell am I in the backseat

Anyone else notice the Lionel Richie flyer in the police department? With the caption, "Hello?" And the tags say "is it me your looking for?"

[u/cluelesspuma]

"Who are you calling?"

"Black People."

This whole segment had me seriously laughing, I never really saw too many episodes of Stewart's Daily Show, but I've caught a few of the Noah's segments that have been posted here, and I'm really enjoying it.

[u/toiletting]

Calling him "nerdy Suge Knight" is so fucking accurate

[u/fawltywiring]

Considering it's Roy Wood Jr's first field piece, not bad. He and Jordan were great playing off each other.

[u/godx119]

That's the first time I've seen Roy, but he had me cracking up. Hope he sticks around.

[u/HowlsAtStars]

I love the new show. Never thought that, still missing John Stewart but Noah brings his own swing. Very happy with it. Black Twitter killed me.

[u/bwat47]

that was the best daily show field segment in a while

[u/ZeusforPres]

I loved the 2 field correspondents angle. Roy Woods Jr. has fit into the show perfectly.

[u/Citizen_Snips29]

I definitely enjoyed the segment, but it could have stood to be a few minutes shorter. I felt like it took up almost half of the show.
