Here's the show, if you missed it, her speech is right at the end:

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - Police
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017586647

As nationwide protests over the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are met with police brutality, John Oliver discusses how the histories of policing and white supremacy are intertwined, the roadblocks to fixing things, and some potential paths forward.

when you think of the constant discrimination and exploitation.....such an injustice. One of America's original sins that is still not healed.

I think we are all grateful that, as she said at the very end, black folk are looking for equality and not revenge. I don't know if I could tolerate the injustices that we see, if I were black.

Kimberly Jones is justice's warrior. White supremacist whites are warned. There is no winning for them.
