Some of the things that police officers do, if regular citizens do it they are arrested immediately. The law should be no different for police officers. Or anyone. Including the rich and politicans.
It should be stiffer on them because they SWORE to protect and serve.
Two parts of the problem: 1) Supreme Court decisions that basically make police gods and 2) the police unions.
They broke the teachers unions, why can't we do the same to the police.
This is actually they way its supposed to be however the system has been built around protecting them no matter what
@@lexannaamnell6593 Time to fight for change
You're absolutely right, they should be held to a higher more scrutinise standard.
look at the way her face lights up when she talks about her kids. a great lady.
That is the realness we need in charge.
Most moms should be like that.
Her kids are going to turn out great! She's so tough the kid's home life is likely part boot camp. 🇺🇸
And looks way better than King Orange
Her skin looks great, it's glowing
Appreciate all these dialogues and conversations! That’s how you inspire real change 🙌💯
Great point! Even though I may not agree with Trump supporters there no reason we can't have honest open dialogue without resorting to name calling and belittling each other..... only children do that!
I have just respected the way she has acted during this situation...poise, strength, grace, and empathy...A LEADER!
well said. such cant be said for one specefic person.(you know who)
Amen Sharonda.
I think if anything is going to get done here she has to pick a side and it can't be the police.
Not to mention she’s beautiful too!
@@osodelososos5552 absolutely, but stay focused. She'd definitely be more pleasing to the eye than looking at this Orange Horsehead in the Oval Office now. Oops I think I need to stay focused too.😖🙏🤗😂🤣
Dictators around the world are making fun of Donald Trump.
"Where did you go to dictator school, Trump University?"
"Real dictators cower in a bunker _after_ they have lost the final battle."
To be fair, based on the coward life 45 has lived, he truly thought it was his end of times when he saw that protest lol
In England he is classed as the worse leader in the world, he should apply for a job in one of his shithole countries.
Solid gold! I've been wondering where he will try to flee to when he loses the election - Russia? Saudi Arabia? So few countries would take him, but even the people in these countries probably hate his guts.
@@fozzross6727 Why should he apply at one of them when he can simply turn the United States into a one of those "shithole" countries? He's already president.
Biden has another VP contender...a decent, intelligent, articulate 21st century American woman
This strong Intelligent leader gives me hope that better minds can heal this country.
💯💯
Leadership done well lends energy to the people. Love her leadership!
No you be wrong. Me trump me be big man me be big strong law and order man 😵
It’s not the better minds we have to worry about, nor does talk have any influence over the mob.
This effeminate male was born with a spoon in his mouth, and this politician is lying, or at best parsing her words.
@@richardhines8622 yea dont get worried about intelligent minds, just worry about "effeminate" looking guys. Cause thats the root of all economic woes 😂
As an a Australian I don’t think we can criticise your country as we have so much we need to be ashamed of. I have Aboriginal ancestry. One of my sons is very “white” and my other son looks Aboriginal. I constantly worry about his safety. He also has an intellectual disability so cannot talk very well . He is so vulnerable. My only comfort is that he is always with an adult carer, myself or his brother to be able to advocate for him.
I appreciate Seth's making sure more black voices are heard at this time.
yes! And I'm really learning things! :)
Also check out Jimmy Fallon there is so to learn from his channel as well!!
@@meme101RE got this notification while watching him :D
I really hope it continues. As a white dude, like Klara, I really feel like I'm getting some insight that I didn't possess before. It's been enormously helpful as, even though I see everyone, regardless of creed or colour or sexuality or _whatever_ , as a brother or sister, I still need to go over the way I think and examine whether I have unhelpful tenets. I love all my fellow humans like family, but maybe that's not enough right now.
As horrible as it is to say out loud, this tragedy has made possible a chance for real change, and the opportunity to end African-Americans' suffering and fear once and for all. I sincerely hope together, we can put a stop to this disgusting state of affairs forever, so that no black family (or any other minority family for that matter) ever has to coach their children on how to avoid being murdered by the institution that's supposed to protect them, ever again. So that our goddamn fellow humans can feel as safe as we feel around cops. It's really not much to ask. And who knows: maybe within a generation that's not raised in an environment of fear for once, black and ethnic minorities might flourish and feel safe to branch out into social and professional spheres they once were rightly afraid of due to discrimination.
The world is everyone's playground, and I hope with all my heart that now, FINALLY, it might actually be accessible to us all.
P.S. I'm sorry if anything I wrote is callous or sycophantic to you, I genuinely feel this way; I'm an idealist and egalitarian. I know sometimes stuff I say seems whimsical or just stupid to some people. If I offended you, I'm genuinely sorry.
He never makes a distinction, if you watch his show, which i do, he has people of all walks and races, i'm surprised by your message. This guy is one of the nicest.
oh my god, just googled her and she is OLDER than me! How georgeous (and smart, and eloquent) is this woman?
Right? I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to boil this amazing person down to her looks, but wow do I hope I look that good at fifty.
And she has been doing a fine job as our Mayor, she is really a huge relief after Mayor Reed, who was a real let down in many ways.
She's such an inspiration. She's a lawyer and was even a judge at one point.
Maybe include your own age in this comment 😬😉
yes! She's awesome!
What a nice change - a voice of reason, compassion and pragmatism. This is a special person to have as a state leader.
She would be a better president.
Ok, everybody would be a better president.
Our former neighbor's cat would be a better president. And he died in 1986.
yes it's sexist but she's hot!
Marc Seth has a puppet and you’re it
Marc what about as a VP candidate? And look at her beautiful family on the pic behind her.
Tina Reutin awesome thought! I am not fond of Biden, he’s going to need to surround himself with strong, smart, younger people, to be a good President. That being said he won’t be a bad President, and bad doesn’t touch what we’ve got right now.
she's strong, smart, optimistic and aware. She's the way forward.
Look at what she did. This is all on her.
Mrs. Bottoms should run for President! She speaks from the heart and it’s genuine. She believes in justice and moving her city forward, she’d do well and she’d have my vote 🗳🌺
Freebee Williams agreed! ❤️
Absolutely not!! She's lame!
I I'm proud of my mayor ! My city! My police chief! Intelligent understanding compassionate. ATL RISE UP !
I am born and raised in Atlanta and she has done nothing since in office but that speech, she has done nothing since Kaseem left, hell the first time she ever spoke in a long time was Covid" and if you know Atlanta, Shirley Franklin was our first black female Mayor and she came in and fixed alot, Mayor Campbell was a crook he's the reason Freaknic ended and he moved to Miami and went to prison, Kaseem Reid created the housing programs, built the Beltline, the Atlanta airport he recreated, she does not connect with the people at all
Yes that's what people are hoping for... and it should NOT be a scarce commodity !!!
Is the stuff really true about men being gay there alot?? Cause wanna come there but scared imma get attacked and raped by another man
She don't do anything for the community guys just because someone smile yall think she a good person lol do yo research two things in this world sheep and more sheep
😂😂😂 she said, "21 Century Policing Handbook; The Handbook that was probably next to the Pandemic Handbook that the Trump Administration failed to pick up." 5:00
The cover of the book "BRUTALIZE"
She is right though,There are three key ways that Trump’s Department of Justice has eroded or outright dismantled checks on abusive police departments in the past 3½ years: First, it has all but ended the Barack Obama-era practice of placing police departments that violate constitutional rights under court-supervised consent decrees. These court-monitored settlements have, according to experts, offered some deterrent to police chiefs who do not want to see their departments placed under federal supervision. Second, it ended a voluntary federal-state collaborative reform program, over the opposition of police chiefs-including Republicans-who embraced the initiative. Finally, it reversed limits on a program that has provided billions of dollars of military-grade vehicles and weapons-such as grenade launchers and bayonets-to local police departments. These reforms were either introduced or escalated in response to the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and the subsequent heavily armed police crackdown on Black Lives Matter protests. As soon as he took office, Trump has undone them one by one.
Typical right? Aside from scratching is arse in the morning, he doesn’t know much else.
If the "bible photo-op" has taught us anything it is the Trump has no idea how to even hold a book, so we shouldn't be surprised he didn't touch the handbook.
You meant “scratching his arse” to "His" smartphone's screen after opening Twitter®, Ms "@@lisab6779"?
the Mayor is amazing
This is the kind of leader we need in this country. I would vote for her as president in a split second.
LORD, continue to bless this wonderful leader with strength, protection, wisdom and favor.
can you also pray Biden makes her VP! I love her!
Amen
18hr shifts!?!? That’s not easy, I will never judge a cop for eating a doughnut with coffee again.
Atlanta has been fortunate with so many great mayors and she is one of our very best
I wasn’t the biggest fan of her’s when she was elected, but hearing her talk recently has made me a big fan of hers
You must NOT be from Atlanta because that's a lie, I'm from Atlanta and Shirley Franklin and Kaseem Reid are the best we've ever had, she has done nothing since in office, the first time she spoke in a long time was Covid
Yes sure they have so many great mayors then why is Atlanta's murder rate still 19th worst in the country ? I know the answer but I"ll let you figure it out for yourself.
She's very good. The understanding of how things will be received differently by and to different people, shows a level of empathy and understanding not possessed by most people. Awesome.
What a great possible candidate for presidency in the near future, this fine Major.
You need to rename your "A Closer Look" segments that specifically cover Trump to "A Grosser Look"!!!
Yes a grosser look IS correct! Also to remember that Trump has not done 'one thing' to help or benefit any American... except the ones he wants to pardon so he can remain even more safe till his end of life. Imagine how the people who lost loved ones will feel when their useless president is out of office???
"Some jobs cannot have bad apples", quote by Chris Rock. .."Like..pilots..". Period.
I love that mayor, such grace, dignity and positive power. We need more of that. I have cried, screamed, felt very afraid but hearing her speeches made things better. I am also a mother, my daughter is an RN and the worst thing in the world is not being able to protect your children.
Thank you Seth for spending time with Mayor Bottoms. During the time of the pandemic I have watched your broadcasts and found joy, pain, laughter and insight. Oh, and by the way, I love your interaction with your kids; they are priceless. I wish you peace and joy...please keep doing what you do...we need you now more than ever.
Such a great educated well spoken woman..👌
Mayor, you are a light in this darkness. How you speak, articulate, your tone, your empathy. You are a beacon of light
Thank you for being our leader Mayor! You are a great lady.
The expressions on her face show her passion and honesty. Talk about her hurting community, she shows it in her face. Take about her kids, she smiles. ❤️
I like this women.
Joe Biden needs to pick her as a running mate
Michelle or no vote
@@LadySekhmet-Returns nope that is what got this clown into the presidency in the first place!
I would love to see Stacey Abrams as VP, another strong woman from Georgia
Nope, we need her here in Atlanta. You can have Stacey. She's just as good.
@@claressalucas8922 lol, I felt the same way when people were calling for Cuomo to run. Greetings from a new yorker
Hi I'm curious as to why FOX news has decided to turn off comments on their UA-cam channel. Anybody? Seth? I noticed about 3 days ago.
Because FOX INBODIES KKK AS TRUMP AND MCCONNEL IN THE SENATE!
VOTE BOTH OUT AND THERE WILL BE BIG CHANGES!!
I noticed that as well. At first I thought it was because they were afraid of liberals' comments, but then it dawned on me: they just cannot show the racist comments of their own base.
The usual Faux"News" comments section tends to get really nasty when it comes to certain topics. Even nastier than usual, I mean. So they always turn off the comment section in these cases. Probably to keep the more moderate among their viewers from realising what a bunch of racist, hateful, bile spewers they're siding with.
@@copernicofelinis I don't know why, it's already too late.
Turning away from giving viewers the opportunity of open discussion is one step higher on the propaganda ladder, FOX. I'm not saying CNN is the holy Grail of everything true, you gotta take both sides.. what lies in the middle holds the truth. Sadly American citizens are in the middle of this monstrosity.
Look with your heart, lost art. Our third eyes got a blown fuse.
Isn't even hard to be a good man though, if you choose.
I must be in a coma. Having a bad dream. I dreamt the president declared war on US citizens. Yes rioters suck. But to open fire?
#blacklootersmatter
Nope, that happened. They tear gassed white priests that were protesting at St. John's Cathedral and shot others with rubber bullets. It's open season on democracy in America.
Ceasar crossing the Rubicon revisited.
Maybe if the police actually spent time and interacted with the community while they're on duty you know like helping a stranded motorist or even just casually conversing with somebody but all they normally do is sit in their car and hand out citations and assume you're up to no good
That's what Minneapolis has been trying to do yet the police union head complains that is wrong and wants to hire more police to be militaristic and has brought up Floyd's record saying he was a dangerous criminal. The court fight has begun. Only the media of the right have brought it up so far.
I have been so impressed with everything from this Mayor. She personifies leadership and everything that this country needs right now. I wish that we could have her on a larger stage.
I am afraid we are witnessing the end of an empire
I'm afraid you're wrong
I agree. If he wins in November (if there even is an election at this rate), we can pretty much say goodbye to Democracy.
Don’t be afraid . That’s a good thing.
You’re wrong - it’s the end of democracy and a once respected country and the start of a tyrannical empire with Trump as the Emperor :(
Following the footsteps of Chinese leaders and becoming a crazy dictatorship. Awesome..... the neighbors have gone crazy.
Very nice person, blessings from Ireland,keep the heart up.
I'm in Georgia an hour away from Atlanta. I'm so proud to be this close to, and associated with, such a strong, smart, awesome leader like this Mayor.
Thanks Seth. Great interview. Well done. You definitely are a part of the solutions not the woes that face the United States right now. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗 keep up the good work.
So proud of my mayor! She has handled this and other situations with grace and conviction. She thinks of all citizens of Atlanta and we are so lucky to have her lead during this challenging year. Thank you Mayor Bottoms!!
Loving the coverage of Atlanta figures😌 the most powerful, incredible people❤️❤️
What a lovely person she is! She is a caring leader that's full of heart. I applaud her and pray for her to keep going.
She told the protestors to go home and stay home. She shouted at the protestors for exercising their right to protest. And here she is saying that she had NO IDEA what she was going to say when she stepped up to the mic. She’s a mama like me and I’m sure she wants to keep her kids and community safe but at some point, we HAVE to do something. “Riots are the language of the unheard.” MLK. We cannot shame people for protesting.
She shamed people for rioting and looting. She didn't tell people to go home until the protests turned violent.
Yes she said the officers were tired and everyone was so frustrated it was getting too chaotic for her to keep everyone safe. Praying for her continued wisdom🙏🏽
NO but you can shame them for being destructive violent and deliberately provoking the police
OMG Seth you got Mayor Lance Bottoms?! You have made it!
You rock girl! Mamas matter. Thank you for being such an important part in this time of change now and before
Loved her initial speech. Dynamic! And yes, I checked to see if my young grandsons were home. Very caring!
Thankyou Mayor Keisha, keeping it real with empathy.
When I served in the Army, my life was in the hands of black, brown, red, yellow and white toned people. We were friends, we were combatants, we were Comrades at arms and we had each others 6 when the hammer slammed the anvil. We trained, we sweated and we bled together. We came together from all parts of the country; we came together from all religions. We were a society unto ourselves.
We worked as a team, a well oiled machine. We fought for our brothers through thick and thin. We protected each other, that was what we did. The only color we saw was Army Green .....
Copying and pasting for a friend: Would two friends be willing to copy and repost this simple reminder?
RACISM IS NEVER OK and should never be tolerated. And still today I would stand and fight beside those same soldiers of all races I call my brothers, nothing has changed or will ever change!! God bless! Stay strong, stay safe!!
Just two. Any two. Say done
Grateful she spoke on behalf of Atlanta with hope and calm, and not frenzied aggressive panic.Thank you, Mayor.
Thankfully, it seems most mayors/governors are responding as such, hopefully it'll be enough to keep abrams tanks from rolling down main street....
It's funny how someone named "Killer Mike" and other rappers are the voice of reason in all this.
Her comment about her son up til 6am...so true. My boys are up all night and it’s been hard to get them to start living a ‘normal life’ again, being home all the time. She sounds like a great mayor, good for you Atlanta.
With the election coming, this is the opportunity for serious change, it's gone on too long, vote with your heart, and integrity...
This whole situation is so unbelievably sad, I don't know how Seth doesn't cry in these interviews. I'm not even American and I'm moved to tears.
This woman is amazing
🤦🏽♂️...I can’t find the words!!
She is brilliant and calm and just so lovely and intelligent .God bless her ,run for governor
Australian hugs
I'm not sure if Seth reads these comments, but I wanted to let you know that Canadians care. We are also protesting these injustices in your Country and our own.
Thank you.
What a classy lady.
Hey Seth, Keisha is my mayor!!!!! She represents Atlanta very well!!!!
Thanks for having on the mayor Seth. We get so embarrassed so often by our leaders in the South. But we truly do have so many to be proud of. Thanks Madam Mayor as well - lol, you know what I’m talking about.
i LIKE LISTENIN' TO HER, Y'ALL.....MAYBE SHE WILL BE PRESIDENT ONE DAY........
I hope not. She said she couldn't protect her son as the mayor of her City... doesn't the Police commissioner answer to her?
The new attorney general coming january.
Needs to be on the big ticket. AG, ok to get there.
If she’s not the VP nominee which I would prefer. Then have Sen. Kamala Harris as the AG. Or Rep. Val Demmings
She is a strong, articulate and fierce mayor and a hell of a leader!
Not to mention that fact that she has got to be the best looking person in politics, she's gorgeous.
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS!!!!!! yes yes yes to EVERYTHING Mayor Lance has to say.
This lady 💓
I've been to your city and had a good time. Long time ago there was a thing called the world's biggest cafeteria and then I party at a place called The 888 Club. Glad to see you representing this new place.
We love you Seth
Oh my, greatness lives ... all the power to you Mayor !
America needs more women like her. Congratulations Mayor, you rock!
This was real talk. For a comedy show I'm proud they are talking about real issues, what a great message.
Keisha Bottoms is fast becoming another hero of mine.
Thank you both \o/
Please keep these stories coming to us.
She is awesome!♥️
'I didn't know what to do...' So I called for others to hear their ideas.
That's real leadership.
#impressed
This woman is incredible. Her speech gave me goosebumps. Gives me hope...
Cant believe what im seeing right now, from Scandinavia, we have protests aswell in all the major cities of the EU and its bout 50/50 %ppl of color and white, we''re with you all the way, America change needs to happen now!
god i hope you make it through, got friends in NYC and Alabama.. hugs
She’s fantastic 😊👍🏻
This is an interesting, useful, civil communication of thought and emotion. It would be nice to see more of this on the public stage.
San Diego loves you Seth
Kudos to Seth another great commentary.👍
what a pretty mayor...very pretty
While the focus is on racism, maybe sexism isn't that much better?
True
Seth, every day u prove to me that you are a great one.
Let's hear more from Mayor B. & K. Mike as we move forward Seth & Co. THANKS
Thank you Seth Meyers for doing what you do. Keisha Lance Bottoms is awesome. ✌🏽 🇺🇸
I so respect this woman! She speaks with such honesty and sounds so level- headed. She loves her city so much. We need more people like her in government on all levels.
What an incredible leader and woman! From what I’ve heard Atlanta does sound like a great place.
She is the type of leader we need more of. I admire her sense of calm and grace. I love Atlanta too, and understand her need to make better for all her citizens.
I share the feeling great job make your city safe other cities are doing the same about time been saying this for years
The Mayor of Atlanta Georgia is putting her best foot forward for the residents of Atlanta Georgia.It takes a Village to raised a Child,And it also about Unity coming together as one.As the good suffer for the Bad.Things happen every where stay safe and Be well everyone as we continue to pray for our Nation.
My kids have a boxed barbie collection too. Also I'd like to commend DC mayor Muriel Bowser. The Washington DC police are awesome. I've live all over the United States and find we have the most respectful police force. They do interact with the youth and bring a sense of community
Luv this woman.
As someone who lives in Atlanta, I’ve really disagreed with her decision to place curfews and the fact that she told everyone to “go home” instead of protesting.
ditto Quarantine Behavior, same with kids.. not the dj'ing but staying up all night ugh... lol
I don't live in the US, but I'm so stoked to see american celebs wield their platforms in a way that gives voice to positive leaders like this obviously intelligent mayor in this time of chaos. The world is with you, America.
Being tired is not an excuse. They’re supposed to be professionals.
The level of compassion Mayor Keisha Lance speaks with makes it clear to me that women, and ESPECIALLY mothers are better suited to be leaders. Everything she says comes from the heart, with true caring empathy, and these are qualities that I never see in the old white men at the helm.
Mayor, you’ve got a big future in this business. You give me hope.
I appreciate
