Must-See Late Night Clip: Wilmore Marks Ferguson’s First Anniversary

One year after Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson, The Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore checked in on the state of race relations in that city. “I can’t believe it’s been a year already,” he said. “I mean, it’s crazy how time flies when you’re in a constant panic about getting shot by the cops.”

Wilmore summed up the situation for his audience like this: “Police acted up, people protested, the government took action, police ignored it, people are protesting again. Or as black people call it, summertime.”
