An extremely strong argument made by the late night TV presenter.

During the week, democratic presidential candidate a video from 2015 emerged that showed Mike Bloomberg talking about the stop-and-frisk police tactic was implemented in America. In the video, he can be heard saying that police were told to target minorities as part of the policy. The former Mayor of New York has since apologised for what he said, but late night television presenter Trevor Noah is not buying it. In a truly fascinating piece of television, Noah eloquently went through the issue that parts of the black community have with stop-and-frisk policies being in place. After an excellent description of the whole thing, Noah concludes by saying: "Reporters won’t let this story go. They keep hassling him at events, questioning him about his motives, just trying to find any little thing that he’s done wrong. It must be so frustrating for him. And to that I say, Mike Bloomberg, welcome to the world of stop and frisk." Take a look here: Clip via The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Powerful stuff.
