    This might be John (and his team) best work to date. A lot of his episodes are delivered with a general tone of outrage and drama, sprinkled heavily with jokes. This episode of full of just anger. Just raw rage born of having to watch all of the videos, tweets, and news that he and his team consume on a weekly basis. Except this last 2 weeks have been nothing but Police exemplifying the exact thing that they're being called to account for.

    If you don't want to watch the entire 30min segment (and you really should), you should watch the last 2 minutes, look at the haunted look in John's eyes, and then go do something to help your fellow citizens.

      This interview clip from the end was unbelievable. In a moment like that, I doubt I would be anywhere near that articulate.

        Here is the Trevor Noah's clip she references to, which I think is worth watching as well.

      That was spectacular. Not a moment of it was wasted or unnecessary.

    Video unavailable in Canada. And since I cannot find any legitimate way to watch it here (unless you subscribe to Crave), but this is an important subject which John does a great job of covering,...

        Invidious does not work around regional restrictions. There are however unofficial reuploads floating around that do not have the restrictions.

    I stopped watching the show a couple of months ago when it embodied its name and the weeks were all about the coronavirus. Given @Omnicrola's raving review, I'm going to give this episode a shot....

    Given @Omnicrola's raving review, I'm going to give this episode a shot. Last Week Tonight has the power to produce some of the more masterful journalism on TV, which is exactly what I want from it.

    Heads-up: the video wasn't made available by the uploader in the UK. Are there any ways around that?

      @cfabbro's post here linked to Reddit with some alternative uploads to get around country locks.

      You can use one of those sketchy youtube video downloading websites since a lot of them are hosted in the US.
