'This cop is screaming at me and I think, 'This is how I die. This man is going to kill me,'' recounts 'Late Night' writer Amber Ruffin.
"The cops have pulled a gun on me. The cops have followed me to my own home. Every black person I know has a few stories like that," she said.Throughout the week, Ruffin will share stories about her experiences with police officers in light of the outrage after the death of George Floyd.
"He goes, 'Pull the car over! Pull the goddamn car over right now, motherfucker!' That is what this cop is screaming at me and I think, 'This is how I die. This man is going to kill me,'" she recalled.
The office then let her go without a warning "because once he saw a teenage girl, shouting was no longer fun." On Tuesday, Ruffin shared a story about visiting her friends in Chicago. After her friend Jeff picked her up at the airport, they went to go pick up another friend that lived next to an alley behind the police station.
The cop asked where she was coming from and she explained that she had just gotten off of a flight from Amsterdam. He asked her why she was running down the alley, though she explained that she was skipping because she was happy to be visiting her friends.
