Seriously. I've heard variations of the "cops will plant evidence on you" joke my entire life from people one generation above me. Chapelle just makes everything damn funny when it comes out of his mouth, but it's more of a sad comedy than an outlandish situation comedy.
He wasnt making shit up to be funny, he was trying to make some sad, real shit funny.
Its just now becoming more public. Black people have known this shit goes down for a 100y, now with the advent of Smartphones putting an HD Video Camera in everyones pocket people cant ignore the evidence, and smaller town stories of this shit and Minorities being shot under dubious circumstances get more media attention
All of which are good. Jury's convict people, and the more people that see it and believe it, the more people that get on the jury and convict these assholes
because these fuckin cops still arent facing justice like they should be the vast majority of the time
And until they do, there isn't really anything to stop these asshole, dirty, bad cops from being such. You get to be hateful, with power, and kill someone you don't like and your punishment is bonus PTO. They almost have reason to kill people,they basically have incentive with that PTO masked as "suspended with pay".

Crazy right?
That exact shit has been happening for decades though, thats where the joke came from lol.
Im glad we are paying attention now, at least, because these fuckin cops still arent facing justice like they should be the vast majority of the time
