00:00

I turn on the the T.V and then I see Walter Scott.

00:02

a 50 something year old man running away from a policeman

00:06

getting shot in the back running away from the policeman

00:10

and again the media for some strange reason

00:12

just seems to forget what the main purpose of the discussion is

00:15

because on day one they go, "Unarmed man shot in the back."

00:18

Day two they are like, "Who was Walter Scott?

00:21

"Lets find out about it, apparently he had a charge of assault against him in 1987."

00:27

So he get's shot for it?

00:29

how hard did he punch the guy that he gets shot for it in 2015?

00:33

did he punch the guy into the future and he came back to get him

00:35

is that what happened?

00:37

I mean it was the 80's, everyone punched someone in the 80's

00:39

I don’t understand why this is a big deal, they were saying the craziest things

00:42

they where like, "Walter Scott, I mean everybody's talking about the police officer

00:45

lets talk about him, why did he run why did he run?"

00:49

because he didn’t want to go to jail

00:52

are we really going to live in a world where police no longer want to chase criminals?

00:55

is that what we are saying?

00:56

is that what we are saying, police no longer want to chase criminals?

00:58

that’s the whole point of the game, we played it as kids

01:00

cops and robbers, yeah?

01:02

You've seen the movies, that's what makes it fun

01:04

"Freeze!" "You cant catch me coper!"

01:05

and then you run!

01:08

that's what makes it fun.

01:10

Now police no longer want to chase criminals, we are gonna live in a world

01:13

can you imagine what that's going to do to the movie industry?

01:15

it's going to be horrible.

01:16

We are going to be watching Bad Boys 5 with Marten Lawrence and Will Smith

01:19

"Freeze!" "Okay."

01:21

end of movie, done. It's the worst movie ever!

01:25

This is the strangest thing, they ask all the weirdest questions

01:27

questions that have nothing to do with a man being shot who is unarmed

01:32

The come on and they go, "Also noted is Walter Scot owed
