"You have to be f****** kidding me. A man was shot at a traffic stop because the police officer mixed up their gun and their taser? Is that even supposed to be a legitimate excuse?" asked Trevor on The Daily Show.
Trevor said that he's not saying that mistakes don't happen but he feels that the young man wouldn't have been shot if the police weren't always so quick to draw weapons.
"The reason they don't care is that they know they're going to get away with it. And until that changes, they're just going to keep not caring," said the comedian.
Briefly News previously reported that Daunte Wright, another young black man, was killed by the police and sparked fresh protests. Outrage was sparked among protestors following the police shooting of Daunte Wright.
Protestors shut a portion of the Manhattan Bridge down on Monday night as they marched across the structure. Twitter posts show a large influx of people walking across the upper level of the bridge in an attempt to show solidarity with Wright.
The 20-year-old black man was shot by a Minnesota police officer during a Sunday traffic stop, resulting in his death. Brooklyn Center Police Department came forward stating that the shooting was unintentional as the policewoman had mistaken her gun for a taser.
