From Dave: "Normally I wouldn't show you something so unrefined, I hope you understand."
This is not a Special but rather an impromptu purging of feelings and thoughts delivered by Dave during his show in Ohio on June 6, 2020.
Dave is not interested in monetizing any content related to George Floyd’s death. Instead, he encourages you to join him in support of the Equal Justice Initiative and the protection of human rights. For more information on the EJI or to make a donation please go to support.eji.org/chappelle

To me, there is nothing more alluring & captivating than watching/listening to a wise, knowing & balanced man share their thoughts and experiences through recollection or a story-like cadence. It's such a rewarding experience. When such an experience is delivered by a shrewed, percipient comic like Dave Chappelle, it becomes something very special. Comedy (the art of) is not just entertainment... It is a vital, soul resuscitating art form that, like music & visual arts, fills a void in our HUMAN lives. It's anything from an ice cold soft-drink for our souls - that tickles on the way down, to a stumbled upon flotation device in a torment sea of hate. Comics are, in essence, burden bearers. OUR burden bearers... which is why I'm so saddened & sickened by the shit show - the fuckin horror show - they've put Dave Chappelle through! For Dave Chappelle to have such a presence on stage ( wise & percipient), the 'behind-the-scenes' truth is that he must have been run through the ringer! I could go on about how he's been disgraced & how unfair it is... but instead, I'll just say how great it is to see him back in his element...his home - Even if the light in is eyes has dimmed a little & he seems a bit owlish & sobered. The man is a goddamn treasure & I have a tremendous amount of respect for him!! it must be hard being the greatest - even more difficult when you've EARNED that title. But damn..it must feel good to be sticking it to these bastards! Good for you, Dave!

he ignores important things. not saying he isn't right. but it's not funny. also ex military people are dangerous. they are not role models. not good people. yet he makes them look like the perfect people. they did not fight against terror they fought mainly for money. no different than any other murderer. and in these cases they killed police man because they were missing the feel of murder, the feel of taking away one's life. that's all to it nothing noble. also why bring slavery into everything it's just too much at this point, none of the current generation were slaves, they bring up their grandparents suffering as an argument, newsflash, it's not a great argument.. i think he could have made more out of this than he did. either by being funny or phrasing things differently. it's not cool to make mass murderers (ex SOLDIERS) role models.

If you don't have anything good to say just shut the fuck up.

[@obineux6259]

@Matt Davis how dumb, out of touch with reality or politically biased and brainwashed do you have to be to believe a handcuffed horizontal man of any size needed 180 pounds of pressure on his cartroid artery for 9mins(3mins after blacking out) to keep him cooperative. US politics have definitely damaged a lot of brains beyond repair

[@evan9111]

@Matt Davis I know the truth dumbass. The truth is we watched a man have his airway cut off for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. That is purposeful and there is in no way that he did that accidentally or because he was fearing for his life. He was handcuffed and he had 3 other officers surrounding him, I wonder where you get your "truth" from honestly, because the idea that you can even believe for a second that what happened was justified is truly disgusting.

[@projectconfrontation2975]

@@stevenarias7001 The bad cops don't out number the good ones. If that were the case we'd see so much more of the same bullshit we've seen. What's important is to get rid of the bad cops and allow the good one's the ability to police themselves without fear of retaliation. And police forces do have minority representation on their forces. Take Baltimore for example, the same city where Freddie Gray was killed by the police, is 45% White officers, 44% Black officers, 7% Hispanic officers, and less than 1% "other". There's equal representation, however, when you look at the demographics of Baltimore you see that the percentages of Black officers doesn't match the percentage of Black residents. Black residents make up 63% of Baltimore. So, it's not that there aren't any minorities on police forces across the country, it's that the gap between the percentages of minority officers and minority residents is too big.
