THR's Late Night Lately is a one-stop shop for all of the week's most memorable moments of late night TV:
is a one-stop shop for all of the most memorable moments of late night TV, coming to you each Saturday morning to ease you into your weekend.
"He goes, 'Pull the car over! Pull the goddamn car over right now, motherfucker!' That is what this cop is screaming at me and I think, 'This is how I die. This man is going to kill me,'" she recalled.
On Tuesday, Ruffin shared a story about visiting her friends in Chicago. After her friend Jeff picked her up at the airport, they went to go pick up another friend who lived next to an alley behind the police station. "That man could have shot me in a second," she said. Ruffin said that these anecdotes, while common, are not often shared because there's "this unspoken rule that black people are supposed to take it in stride."
Ruffin went back into her house for her ID and when she returned, the cop questioned why Ruffin didn't have a Chicago ID, so she had to get mail to prove she lived in the house. "She has now unsnapped that thing that holds your gun in place and is holding onto her gun tighter," recalled Ruffin. "So I go inside, and I'm freaking out because she's gonna shoot my friend Anthony for just being bigger than her.
Ruffin recalled that a police officer came up to them. "My friend rolls down the window and the cop is super nice," she said. "This cop wants to know what in the world we are doing, and he asked politely. And we tell him, and he is unsatisfied. He goes, 'I stopped you because there's been a lot of prostitution.' And I go, 'Oh, I'm not a prostitute.' And this cop has never believed anything less.
"Vote. Call your representatives. Unfriend racists. And most importantly, when you see something, say something." Throughout the week, Trevor Noah's passionate speech on systemic racism and police brutality made the rounds online. Noah posted an 18-minute video on May 29 and pleaded with people to ask themselves how they respond to events like this one and where that comes from.
But when he saw people commenting on looting and violence, he explained that it's because people get angry when they think the unspoken "contract of society" is not being honored. But "there is no contract if law and people in power don't uphold their end of it." Jones adde that politically, "We need to come together" and suggested Republican and Democratic leaders and other outside figures and organizations that don't often agree convene to try to talk through the moment. "If we don't come together, we're going to end up where we're headed, and where we're headed is not good.
