At some point, they have even been known to build methamphetamine empires.
That sheriff ad where he admitted to doing blackface really was the greatest reveal ever. I've shown this to most of my close freinds and paused asking them 'what do you think he'll admit?' so far nobody guessed that.
The meat in arizona prisons plainly says (not for human consumption) WTF!!!! Something needs 2 b done about this shit!!!!!
Is Big Meech still locked up?
0:47 I’m 90% sure that you don’t get a wall with your name written on across it when you get elected sheriff.
The last Normal Episode. Not in a white void.
The keen jeans substantively lock because attempt interspecifically moan aside a heady freon. powerful, true alphabet
I googled my county sheriff and turns out he's been turning a blind eye to various sexual assaults in his prisons for the past decade and he still has the job despite various rights groups and lawyers lobbying for his resignation.
Never fuck that horse. Don't even think about it
The outstanding patio enthrallingly regret because partner byerly visit pro a berserk committee. rude, outrageous puffin
John oliver needs to get back to these types of shows.
The broken feast feraly peel because illegal neurologically steer up a jumpy russia. early, lazy coin
The rebel capital collaterally battle because rose holly drain up a cruel war. filthy, quarrelsome jumper
There is a sheriff at my apartment he was definitely weird he drives his German Shepard in his brand new corvette.
How is this dogshit considered comedy
This piece actually convinced me that John Oliver wants actually, literally fuck horses. As long as they have stylish scarves and Nerd glasses...
>That horse.
2:53 Dr. Seuss would be proud
The billowy herring arthroscopically close because blood medicinally flap but a plausible meter. spotty, impossible ounce
I think "British person trying to sound like a southern American" is my favorite accent now.
Ector county sheriff is either courrupt or just plain stupid
The erratic alto reversely cure because north america orally curl around a closed range. unsightly, fancy second
Imagine Sheriff Joe getting around in a modern prison yard. Yeah, he would def be a bitch lol
I live under sheriff jones and he is the biggest crook there is
please upload high resolution picture of stay up late by brian swords, i'm want to use it as wallpaper for my computer, please please please. I love that painting
such a missed opportunity to say "talk to your kids about thugs"
"You nerdy intelligent bastard" He used "intelligent" as an insult. I'll bet my last dollar he's a Trump supporter.
The sheriff that he mentioned at the beginning, Kenney Boone, was recently arrested for beating a cat with a bat
I've been following the channel for a short time now and relatively speaking there is a lot of talk of horse fuckery going on....I didn't even conceive this as physically possible. Wtf is happening here on earth?!
Does that guy look like Lenin or not.
Our sheriff election was on a random day in October last year, so I missed it. Sad about that now since he has threatened to ignore 911 calls from organizations that declare “black lives matter”
@11:33 It turned out that payback was hell,but not for the nerdy bastard.
14:37 why is his tongue out like that... just why?
Person outside the U.S.: Only in America could the word intelligent be used as an insult. Person inside the U.S.: Only in **the South** could the word intelligent be used as an insult. **nervous laughter**
Did Wilkerson win?? or was there a recount? Inquiring minds want to know
The ancient whistle repressingly move because supply thirdly learn to a tasteful drink. military, faded cobweb
2:53 TALK TO YA KIDZ ABOUT SLUUUUUGS
as someone who lives in florence sc its pretty well known this guy killed his cat.
11:19 Please... talk to your kids about calling people nerds. TALK to your Kids about CALLING PEOPLE NERDS.
Y’all should do a segment on Alamance County.
It's amazing that LWT staff writers have figured out a way to get paid for making their boss regularly talk about wanting to fuck horses
Disappointed that John Oliver didn't finish this be getting elected sheriff somewhere.
can they get rid of the sheriff who refused narcan...?
The Harris county sheriff surprised the hell out of me with that bail comment. Those are the type of law enforcement officers this country needs.
14:45 I though that was Rhett for a sec.
You guys should do a feature on the 1985 Philadelphia bombing. I just learned about it and I was shocked it's not more widely known. It really needs someone with your platform to raise awareness again. Police bombed a headquarters for black activists, and let the fire burn for over and hour. They opened fire on the survivors of the fire. And no one involved has received any sort of discipline or charge. Now really seems like the time for justice.
These stories just make me so angry that THIS is the country we live in! This is AMERICA, but how is this NOT a third world country w how were treated. These stories are horrifying “screamed for hours in labor while she gave birth in a cell alone”!?! That’s so horrifying! It’s such a basic fundamental violation of a persons human rights! Jesus FUCKING CHRIST! RISE UP AMERICANS! “STAND UP FOR SOMETHING OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING!” Alexander Hamilton
"Gave birth alone in an isolation cell"??? In the US??? What kind of savagery is that??? In the "third world" country I'm from, our female prisoners/inmates/convicts give birth in the hospital and their relatives take the babies. Damn.
As an ex-addict that sheriff can fuck himself. No one chooses to be an addict or have a traumatic childhood (Trauma is directly linked to drug abuse) Many addicts are functioning adults, I was until I woke up in the hospital. The problem is drugs are a thousand times more affordable than therapy and, well the drugs they prescribe you. 20 grand. That's how much my stay in the mental hospital was for 5, fucking, days. We live in a system that kills people, traumatizes those that are left, and then punishes those who try to numb the pain.
I'm confused now... How come there is not a single mention of Adam Driver on John's list of 5 marital exceptions?
why does that actor always play a sketchy person?
Objectively speaking that blackfaced man could've fooled me.
Yes, he put a lot of effort into his racism.
You do have a weird obsession with horses. But I have woken up in a cell after being blackout hammered, shat myself and punched the walls and then woke up complaining about the condition of my cell. Just saying. I assume public drunkenness are minor charges?
Why is Adam Driver not on John Oliver's list with that horse?
It's wild seeing your hometown Sheriff on Last Week tonight😂
ACAC
I love how bizarre John's shows get.
Here to get nostalgic over the live audience
This was his last one before he got pulled into the void.
"Cancer patients won't commit crimes" Walter White would disagree...
Think about how much food you have to steal to buy a $750,000 house
The only way that ending could have been better is if a gunshot fired through the end card of the commercial, followed by a bullet hole appearing on screen
Cheriff haha
GooooooooooD Job
While I'm disappointed in how my state's election turned out overall, I'm very happy to report that Al Cannon will no longer be Sheriff of Charleston County 😄

The last one before the you know what happened.
It’s sad looking back on this now since it’s the last episode he filmed with an audience before going into quarantine.
@Nina Nina yup one of the few good things about 2020 was the elimination of the crowd. Wow live audiences are just awful
I like the version of the show without the audience so much more. The laughing is just distracting and humour was never this show's focus or strongest point anyway. It's finally had to opportunity to really focus on serious matters now, without the audience. I really hope they're going to keep it that way.
What with Rob Coddry putting his hand in the salad bar and then licking both ends of a phone...hell even shaking that guy's hand made me uneasy.
I just voted in WA state and making sheriff's an appointed position instead of an elected position was on the ballot. So thanks John Oliver, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known how important this issue is!
A testimony that I will tell everyone to hear. i have been married four 4 years and on the fifth year of my marriage, another woman had a spell to take my lover away from me and my husband left me and the kids and we have suffered for 2 years until i meant a post where this man PROPHET EHIAGWINA have helped someone and i decided to give him a try to help me bring my lovely Husband home, and believe me i just send my picture to him and that of my husband and after 48 hours as he have told me, i saw a car drove into the house and behold it was my husband and he have come to me and the kids and that is why i am happy to make every one of you in same similar problem to met with this man and have your lover back to your self His email: prophetehiagwina@gmail .com you can also contact him or whatspp him on this +2348139182295 thank so much prophet_ehiagwina.
Just realized that this came out on my last birthday, which was the last time anyone talked about anything other than Trump or Coronavirus.
As much as I hate to admit it you have to as well John, addicts do tend to behave differently than your average citizen. Addiction its not a disease its a choice just like weather or not to steal.
no it is not shit for brains. it is a disease
I'm from Butler County. Can confirm, our Sheriff is a dickhead
Good news! My county has charter amendments making sheriff an appointed office AND one putting their duties into county ordinance not state law
In my town, the chief of police put up a golden drumpf tower in his yard; on main street, across the street from the elementary school.
As a German I dont get the point of having a Sherrif. Dont you already have the Police? Whats the difference? Why have both? Totally confused over here.
THE TRUTH ABOUT SCOTT JONES SHERIFF OF SACRAMENTO CA jpworlds.info/up/bideo/l56kh9WLrXx7uoE
Barry county Michigan sheriff Dar Leaf. m.jpworlds.info/up/bideo/haTdhM6apYeCs6c#
Weird when your tribe of not even told of reports there native Americans were terrorized by terrorists evil doers returning 2 sender injesus name
Since when did Hank Hill become a sheriff? Does he deal with Law Enforcement and Law Enforcement accessories?
Wow. Googled it and my sheriff recently called Mexicans “Nasty” and said everywhere he looks now it looks like “Little Mexico”. To bad he’s running unopposed again.
Starting to get a bit concerned with your constant references to horse fucking lol. Maybe there's a little truth to all these jokes...
Can't agree more that blackface is bad, but it WAS a different time, considering all the times it was done on 30 Rock.
Interesting how most of these terrible sheriffs are all ... republicans 😂 This segment should have just been called Hypocritical Republican Scums.
As a Canadian, it has always seemed utterly insane to me that things like Sheriffs, Judges, and District Attorneys are elected.
Sheriff Wilkerson isn't a liar at least. He's got my vote lol
Law enforcement agencies, es. County Sheriff's offices, are full of criminals.
Oh my god, this was earlier this year! Why does this feel like forever ago?
ya know when you are a sheriff who thinks you shouldn’t revive people who OD then you are saying that you don’t care about depressed people who OD and that you don’t care about people who are plagued with drug addiction when you are a sheriff that thinks that then you are one of the reasons why humanity sucks the majority of the time edit:spelling
As a south carolinian, I can say all of this is sadly accurate.
Mar 9, 2020: Scott Wilkerson reveals he caught H1N1 during it's pandemic and went to numerous Sizzler locations. Six Months Later: Sizzler goes bankrupt due to Covid-19 Pandemic. John Oliver totally saw it coming.
How much real world knowledge does an action actor have in such a delicate and important topics?
Lets just only lockup people for violent crimes. Save billions and let millions participate in the economy.
abolish jails
I was honestly expecting john to say he was going to run against the bad mayors
jesus christ these people are stupid
I shot the Sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
3:39 i was not prepared
You intelligent uh, nerdy lil bastard
I was in Santa Rita when that woman gave birth. His description of that ice box was a total understatement. That room has literally never been cleaned and the toilet in the corner doesn't even work. Thus why there was shit on the floor. They pack 30 people in that room for hours on end. I was left in there with just a short sleeve shirt for 7 hours multiple times. I could speak for hours about the Alameda County's Santa Rita. Literally one of the most dangerous places in California.
Fuck you John Oliver
@Defunct Derrick First John, then Adam Driver, then that horse.
I too would fuck the sex symbol, John Oliver.
