The Word: See No Evil 

its disgusting that so many commenting on this story blame TYRE for dying, saying "he shouldnt have run, he should have complied", well that is BS. the cops murdered him and should not have. I am betting there is more than we know. I suggest Tyre wronged one of his murderers (like maybe having sex with one of their GF/BF/wives and they took revenge). I hope they get the same "justice" they dispensed. Exactly an eye for an eye.

We shouldn’t look away on Colbert being on Epstein Island you’re absolutely right very powerful words!

Hey look another bot

Colbert has, like the Jimmys, and the rest of msm, ignored, and continues to ignore, the slow murder of Julian Assange, and the torture of all our whistleblowers.

@@kasibri9691 wasn't trump on the island

Imagine if the Colbert Report had been around for Trump. There would have been SO MUCH material, I swear... it would have been amazing...

The problem with The Word is so many people laugh at the jokes and miss The Point. This one is well timed, although you see him wince when the laughter is a bit heavy.

He had to ask permission from Comedy Central in the past. They owned all of the old Colbert show content including "The Word" segment. In 2019 CBS and Viacom merged so Colbert's boss and Colberts old boss are now the same boss. Thus, he can play Stephen Colbert again. 😅

A few times in 2016 I think on the late show he did “The Werd”, which he noted was “legally distinct from ‘The Word’”

Right? I was so confused. Thought this was a clip that randomly showed up on my feed from years ago. Thought what the hell, haven't seen the word in years... Got more and more confused as the clip went on till I had to pause and check the post date lol

And it's not even The Werd, it's the actual Word!

WORD

Just reminds me of how good he used to be and how he’s fallen

Amazing the way the mainstream media plucks out a single death at the hands of police (one of 1,200 over the past 12 months) and they immediately start singing the same tune of Systemic Racism. It's not just Colbert. It's across all channels. It's like they're all reading from the same script. They ignore all instances of the poor white guys who get killed by police.. Out of nowhere, they all jump on the bandwagon about Tyre Nichols. It's pure propaganda and brainwashing. Notice how they use his death as a springboard to immediately attack a Republican politician for dumb things he said in a TV interview? Who the hell cares what a congressman from Ohio said? Why are they all focusing on that? How about we focus on the mayor of Memphis and the police department in that city who are responsible for this crime against humanity? Pfft... They don't really care about police brutality... They just want to politicize it and use it to polarise the issue into a Democrats vs Republicans, good vs evil narrative... It's them who are evil.

Dems need to bust the police unions! Meaningful change will not be possible as long as police unions are the most powerful entity in local government. As long as all reform must be approved by the police themselves, no meaningful reform will be possible. We need to repeal the labor relations act of 1935 for police. We need to make all police pension agreements unenforceable beyond the term of the elected official who agreed to them. When Dems let the police run roughshod over them, they are complacent in evil.

I would call them a conspiracy to the crime! They knew it would eventually happen, so why not arrest him too? I mean we are charging that actor with an accident, that 5, or 6, people should have made sure the gun was safe, but we can't charge the Republicans who sit on their rear ends and do nothing about violence, AGAIN! Thier are 99 percent god police officers out there i was married to one, but the one percent are making the good ones all look bad, even the chief! If i were you i would go after the MAYOR, he is the one that picks Ur police chief, at least it was in ca, were my husband was one a for over 30 years! In most cities the mayor and or city council pick ur next police chief! If you notice you never vote for one, just the Sheriff! They are not the same thing! Look into people and get the city fired or have then do something, Thye are elected by you! Remember that!

And yet, he still managed to sneak in a racist joke about fried chicken in a segment on a black man being murdered. You can take Stephen out of South Carolina, but you can't take the South Carolina out of Stephen.

Really, Michael?? Really??? You take any reference to fried chicken as racist? Seriously??

@@cathywethington5913 Yes Cathy, that is racist.

Just left Memphis for NYC almost a year ago, after serving in schools there for six years. Have had y'all in my thoughts since the news came out.

@@fadethechannel I hear you. Same as with the people I am regularly in touch with, I got you in my thoughts. Stay strong.

Jeffrey Epstein found the same qualities on the flights they took together on Jeffrey's plane.

You know what's the worst part about Mr. Nichols' murder? Right now, it feels like a normal occurance in American society. Time after time, the police bring brutality and death to those who truly didn't deserve it, and time and time again, no one does anything to solve the issue. And that's what personally infuriates me; that someone, anyone, on the street could've intervened to prevent even more police brutality, but didn't, because either they felt like they couldn't do anything, or, in the case of those in American government, they thought it would help advance their agenda. For Democrats, that agenda is infuriating people to vote for candidates who promise to put a stop to police violence. For Republicans, it's further dividing the country through racist dog whistles and vigilante violence from their own base. But neither party is really getting anything done, and neither are the American people. It makes you ask yourself, where does it stop? When does it end? When will someone, anyone, finally stand up and do the right thing, not because they believe they have to, but because they want to? How many more people have to get killed before the police are finally held accountable for their actions? Right now, the Sesame Street website is offering resources to help kids cope with gun violence. That, right there, might be the most horrifying representation of modern American culture; that police killings in the U.S. are so commonplace right now, that the website for one of, if not the most famous TV show of all time, feels the need to offer resources to help children and their parents through the horrors of what happens every day around them. And while kudos to Sesame Street for actually going out of their way to help kids feel safe, I'm afraid that this initiave will lead to those kids growing up to believe they can't really do anything about gun violence in their country, and in turn, allowing the horrible cycle to continue.

It's as if they throw them in there deliberately spoil the barrel, or to ensure a perpetual state of fear and distrust in the population, especially against those 'others' to which they do not associate: minorities, the poor, the educated, and the empathetic. Keep those good apples from being consumed and everyone stays desperate.

EXACTLY!!! It's always been a pet peeve of mine to hear people say "They're just a few bad apples" when the whole point of the saying is that that's all it takes to corrupt the whole system. IT ONLY TAKES A FEW BAD APPLES TO SPOIL THE BUNCH

It's like, have people seen what happens when there's a bad fruit among a bunch of good fruit? If you're lucky you might only have to throw away that one bad fruit, if not the whole bunch might have to be thrown away.

They are either willfully ignorant of this or try to make everybody else forget what the actual saying is. At this point it feels like the whole barrel has been long since spoiled... yet they go ahead and try throwing more apples in to fix the problem. Afterwards they are shocked when more apples turn bad. It is almost as if the foundation those apples are sitting on is rotten to the core...

Thank you! People seem to think the expression means that you shouldn't throw out the whole barrel of apples just because a couple are bad. No one seems to realise that when apples rot, they release a gas that causes all the other fruit around them to rot, and quickly spreads through all the apples like a virus. The saying is supposed to mean that you constantly have to be vigilant about checking for any signs of rot and discarding the effected ones immediately. Of course, conservatives don't like this version of the expression, because it would mean getting rid of racist cops the minute they step out of line, so it's like they've created a new interpretation.

With the a gun

I agree. We also need to do away with qualified immunity, use more cameras, erase the blue line, and train cops everywhere to step in if a fellow officer is doing wrong. And that's just the beginning...

Pity Colbert didn't say that word,"guys." The biggest commonality of victims of police violence is gender and not race. White men are more likely to be killed by police than black women... by a very large margin.

And that's where teachers and school nurses come in. I work in inner city schools. In Florida the Governor DeSantis is hindering our work to help our youth. We cannot council them about many issues that trouble them. Can't teach about systemic racism, can't guide troubled youth that may choose law enforcement as a career, can't comfort our LGBTQ youth. Turning a blind eye by our Governor makes the problem worse. How many people who voted for this monster DeSantis are affected by this? And how many people who didn't vote for DeSantis are victims of White Christian Nationalism hate? Amen.

Where to see no evil requires one to be blind.

I agree 100% there need to be punishments fitting to these types of crimes. Extreme deterrents to prevent these ethic violations

Every police officer who was at the scene was immediately fired and then charged with kidnapping & 2nd degree murder. How the hell is that "zero accountability" ? I think the biggest problem is that people prefer to make these stories a racial issue where NOTHING gets solved instead of tackling the problem of systemic police brutality. It's about time we hold the mayors and police chiefs responsible for the misconduct of police instead of always making scapegoats of the poorly trained officers on the streets who are indoctrinated into a workplace culture of "us vs them" fear and excessive use of force. Our police act like soldiers in a war zone. It's not normal.

@@carlmarks8170 zero accountability helps enable cops to continue their racist acts. It encourages and rewards bad behavior of all kinds.

@Daniel and the zero accountability brings out those Nazis with badges.

So agree. People are saying the problem is so complicated. It's super simple. Cop commits assault--cop goes to prison like anyone else. This stuff would end immediately.

Yes! It's really getting old the way police are killing. After LAPD beat Rodney King, the pd put "We will treat you like a king" on their squad cars and it seems to be getting worse!

The fact that these protests produced no death is amazing. And NOT the result of heavily armed peace keepers. This is evidence of those who mourn PEACE. With Kent State murders, among many others!, were lightyears ago. We are experiencing the reprocussions of authorized & legal violence. And they thought they got away with murder, with no consequences. While supporting gun rights, these idiots cant see past their own nose.

I think Jordan's point was that passing meaningless laws and pretending you actually did something IS doing nothing. Jordan stated that better and different training for police would be an actual solution, so it wasn't like he was saying "do nothing".

@@MICHAEL-vy3ch he was saying nothing while actually, more importantly, doing nothing as is the way with his party in response to accountability among law enforcement, especially if the victim is not white. Not surprising from someone who actively supports & defends the cult & it's leader who committed a deadly, failed coup.

@@erichancock6815 Sometimes we say people are "saying nothing" when we don't want to listen. Just out of curiosity, what law would you pass to keep a gang of police officers from beating a man to death?

@@MICHAEL-vy3ch one that invests much more in screening applicants & better training of new and/or existing law enforcement to de-escalate versus violently escalate confrontations, while also promoting those in law enforcement to expose corruption & abuses of power among their ranks in contrast with the 'snitches get stitches" mentality defending the 'brotherhood' behind the blue line, in a blatant act of hypocrisy, since they always expect the rest of us to say something when we see something. There is a lot that could be done but they, especially those like Jordan, are too politically terrified (at best) to change anything, especially when it can be seen as socialism to regulate & restrict 'blue lives' while helping the most helpless, least fortunate masses versus the most fortunate & most powerful few. Jordan is a spineless moron &, more importantly, a nationally divisive traitor much like his historically corrupt & classist elitist messiah.

@@erichancock6815 That's a good idea for a law. In fact, it is such a good idea that IT ALREADY EXISTS IN EVERY STATE! Look, I know it's hard sometimes to get Trump out of your head, but blaming Jim Jordan for doing nothing to stop what has been a problem in police forces for decades is nothing short of a mental disorder known as transference. How about we put the blame where it belongs; on Joe Biden. You realize, of course, that Joe Biden could simply sign an executive order instructing the Justice Department to issue new and better guidelines for police forces, right? That as the Chief Executive, every police force technically falls under the President's responsibility and supervision, and he could direct the funds from the Justice Department today to pay for the reforms. Why doesn't he? Why won't he? Why has Biden decided to do nothing? Those are the questions you should be asking. And if you are still intent on putting the blame on members of Congress, then should we discuss why Nancy Pelosi never brought the reforms up for a vote during the last 2 years when she had a clear majority in the House, a Democrat led Senate to work with, and a President who would have signed anything she sent to him. I know, I know, "filibuster, filibuster, filibuster", right? except that it wouldn't have applied here. The Democrats could easily have passed these reforms through both houses and put it on Joe Biden's desk to sign. Why didn't they? Why did the Democrats decide to do nothing? I think we both know the answer.

Absolutely

You from California?

During that interview, Jordan actually suggested looking at better and different training standards for police, so it's not like he said "do nothing".

@@MICHAEL-vy3ch lol he 'suggested'... you happy with that? I said he still does nothing. I did not say he said to "do nothing". There's a world of difference.

@@killerjoke2945 What exactly did you want him to do? He's one member of half a branch of a third of the federal government, and police training standards are done at the state level, not the federal level. Would you like him to introduce a law that would make it illegal for a police officer to beat a suspect to death? Cause I'm pretty sure that's already against the law, which was Jordan's point in the first place; passing new laws doesn't make someone obey the law if they were already intent on breaking existing laws in the first place.
