It\u2019s been the subject of headlines over the past several weeks, and the incidents in Minneapolis and elsewhere are just the tip of the iceberg. There are systemic issues that have been widespread for quite a long time now, and we have no clear indication that these issues are going to be stopping anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, examining the problems with the police is the first order of business. Oliver started his main segment by focusing on the oft-exalted nature of policing in America, whether it be it being glamorized in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> or their historical purpose of preying on the disadvantaged \u2014 a tradition that goes back centuries. He really took viewers on an incredible history lesson, one that we think helped to introduce a lot of viewers to some parts of the past that they weren\u2019t altogether familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond just that, Oliver took on another important part of policing in America that gets lost \u2014 unions. This can lead to prolonged delays before punishment and making it hard to go after certain officers for incidents of wrongdoing. It\u2019s also hard to slow down unions when they hold so much power. There\u2019s also the issue of qualified immunity, which complicates a number of cases further. Eventually, the Supreme Court could make a decision on it, but there is no guarantee of it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Oliver closed things off by talking about the issue of defunding the police \u2014 an idea that often gets misconstrued and misrepresented. It doesn\u2019t mean that we \u201csuccumb to the purge\u201d (as Oliver put it), but rather that we take money from policing and then move it over to other aspects of communities that matter more. Basically, ways to make it to make communities h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ier and healthier. These are ways to ensure that the police are not always needed. There would be resistance to the idea, but change is not always easy. You have to fight for what you believe in to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t seen this episode yet, be sure to find it and watch it. You may learn something, even if you don\u2019t agree with Oliver\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to get some more news when it comes to Last Week Tonight<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_did_you_think_about_the_June_7_episode_of_Last_Week_Tonight\"><\/span>What did you think about the June 7 episode of\u00a0<em>Last Week Tonight<\/em>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the comments below!
