'Black people leave the house every day knowing that at any time, we could get murdered by the police,' said Amber Ruffin
Late Night With Seth Meyers returned last night after a weeklong hiatus, so it was the first time the show had an opportunity to address the killing of George Floyd, the resulting nationwide police brutality, and the Black Lives Matter protests. To help give context to the “deep-rooted and justified fear” black Americans have of the police, Meyers featured a clip from writer Amber Ruffin.
She took a few minutes to recap a terrifying experience of being pulled over by a cop when she was a teenage black driver who did nothing wrong — just one of many terrible experiences she’d have with police throughout her life, including one time a cop pulled a gun on her. “Every black person I know has a few stories like that — many have more than a few. Black people leave the house every day knowing that at any time, we could get murdered by the police. It’s a lot,” she said.
