About this episode

In Los Angeles and around the country, people are taking to the streets in protest of government overreach. Take a look back at The Daily Show's coverage of protest, counterprotest, and the role of law enforcement.  

Jon Stewart unpacks the Occupy Wall Street movement. He covers the protest, politicization, and backlash rising from the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, and the death of a peaceful protester in Charlottesville, VA. Trevor Noah speaks on the persistence of police brutality during protests in America.
