Sunday’s latest Last Week Tonight episode, John Oliver takes on the Ferguson shooting, police militarization and response and other heavy topics of contention surrounding the case with a perfect mixture of outrage and humor that we’re all in need of. With other current event commentaries like John Stewart remaining silent on the issue, John Oliver takes a huge risk in speaking his mind, but the result is brilliant.
Commenting on everything from the ridiculous over zealousness of the police to a needed change in how the law enforcement and political officials in Missouri see their communities and constituents, John Oliver is on point with every humorous jab and driven point.

I had doubt about the source uploading this video. The original has been removed, but LiveLeak had copied the video and uploaded it with its own narrative.
This is the LiveLeak version picking up on a different witness account heard in the background [start at 6:28 mark]. This webpage links to an “original” version which has been removed – link.
