Why Do Black People Always Have to Save America?: Week In Review | The Amber Ruffin Show

[@victoriaeads6126]

Officer Eugene Goodman is an actual hero. This guy is amazing, for all the reasons Amber states, but also because he's just awesome.

[@lacountess]

He did something people do in video games, in real life. How awesome is that?

I have no doubt that he will get it! And I really hope that his example will teach other cops to use their brains instead of their guns.
