Trevor Noah Reminds Us ‘You Can Be Pro Cop And Pro Black’ (VIDEO)

On “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” last night, Noah reminded us all that taking a stand against police brutality and insisting that officers be held accountable for the senseless taking of innocent lives is not the same as hating all police officers.

His reminder was poignant when it aired in response to the shootings by Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile this week, but became even more so after the tragic shootings of police officers by a sniper in Dallas, Texas last night. In response to that news, Noah tweeted:

Just as holding police accountable for their actions is not an indictment of all police officers, holding the shooter in Dallas accountable for his actions should not be an indictment of the Black Lives Matter movement. The sniper was no more acting on the wishes of activists against police brutality than Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Louis Dear was acting on the wishes of Carly Fiorina, pro-life activists as a whole, or the Christian church. All of these deaths should make us angry.
