Trevor Noah: I Have Been Stopped by Police 8 to 10 Times in 6 Years in US
"The Daily Show" is usually about the jokes, but in a behind-the-scenes clip, host Trevor Noah got serious to talk about his experiences as a black man living in the U.S.
"I've only lived in the United States six years on and off. I lived on the West Coast two-and-a-half years, I've lived on the East Coast now for two-and-a-half years," he explained in the clip. "In that time, I sh-- you not, I have been stopped by police maybe, I would say going on at least eight-to-10 times I've been stopped by the police, which always blows peoples' minds, which I didn't know was a thing."
"I've been stopped in a Tesla. Like, a Tesla, people," he added. "I don't know what silent crime you think I'm on my way to commit."
His rant was in response to the death of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot by police officer Jeronimo Yanez in July 2016 at a stop. He was in the car with his girlfriend, who streamed the aftermath of the shooting on Facebook.
