A pretty moving piece by the English political satirist…

We’ve been watching the tense ongoing situation in Ferguson, Missouri on the news every night as protests continue in the wake of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown 10 days ago.

British comedian John Oliver hosts Last Week Tonight on HBO and every week he looks at the top story in the country in a humourous but extremely investigative and detailed way.

Oliver has been looking at what’s been going on in Ferguson over the last week or so and he vents his anger at the police, the local mayor and the handling of the situation in general. This is well worth a watch…
