The superlative

You know, the biggest issue I think I have,

Basic quantifiers

and many other people have,  with Mike Bloomberg

Gerund

and how he’s defending his stop and frisk record is that

he doesn’t seem to know what he’s defending.

You know? He goes, “Oh,  I apologize for the policy.”

And people are not as angry about the policy,

I think, as how  the policy was targeted.

Because for so many years, especially in America,

the police are targeting us just because we’re black.

They treat us like  we’re all criminals.

They’re not just trying to go for criminals.”

The people – “Oh,  you’re overreacting.

Cops are not just gonna throw you against a wall.

And I can imagine for a long time, for many black Americans,

And people are like,  “That’s crazy.”

And I can imagine how for many white people in America

You just get thrown  against the wall? Why?

’Cause white people are like,  “I’ve never been thrown

against a wall. That would never happen to me.

What, what, you just get thrown against the wall? That’s it?

I say, ‘Hello, officer,’  they say, ‘Hello, sir,’

“You white people are being racist ’cause you don’t...”

And white people are like,  “That is insane.

And I can see how people have lived in these worlds

And then now you have audio of Mike Bloomberg saying...

And that audio, for me, if you break it down into pieces,

First of all, the fact that he says if you look at criminals

and victims of crime, et cetera,  you can xerox –

you can just copy and paste it and put it out there.

It shows me that you didn’t even care about

when, in fact, black is most affected by crime.

Alright? That’s the first  problem I have.

Secondly, the fact that people don’t seem to realize

the ramifications of treating people like that.

Imagine if you are  a black kid living in

Every day you’re getting frisked and thrown against a wall.

Every day this is what cops are just – this is your life.

Now imagine if you are a black kid who lives in this world.

A cop gets you, pulls you, throws you into a wall.

You carry on.  Next day it happens again.

Maybe next week, maybe next month, whenever it is.

At some point, what do you say? Fuck the police.

Alright? And then you get people like, “Why don’t

These people come and throw me against the wall

They see the cops,  they go, “Screw this.

you’re evading arrest, you’re resisting arrest.

Now you get arrested for  resisting arrest.

Then you go to jail. You can’t afford bail.

What does prison turn you into more likely than not?

And even if you don’t become a criminal because of that,

We’ve seen how these kids  get locked up.

And then you’re just like, “Oh, but these kids

“Why were you running from the cops?”

I didn’t wait. The bully came, and I was like, “Oh, shit,”
