Ferguson Police Officer Pulls Over Larry Wilmore During The Nightly Show

The Nightly Show’s Larry Wilmore attempted to offer his reaction to the damning Justice Department report on the racist policies of Ferguson police last night, but he kept getting interrupted by flashing lights and sirens until an officer finally “pulled him over” and served him with some particularly outrageous citations.

It was his use of “finger guns” that finally caused the cop to approach the desk. “Excuse me, we’ve been getting a lot of complaints about a black guy waving guns around,” the officer told Wilmore, before issuing him a $300 “upside-down map ticket” and a $450 “ugly desk fine.”

On top of all that, the cop added, “This time slot was reported stolen a few months by an S. Colbert.”
