Thursday on CBSs The Late Show, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) got emotional while discussing his fear of law enforcement, offering childhood experiences as part of his story.
On President Donald Trumps Monday speech, Booker said, For him to in one side of his mouth to be speaking in front of the White House how he supports peaceful protesters then behind him, to unleash tear gas, rubber bullets, men on horseback charging or marching into that crowd, it was horrific, and tramples some of the most, to me, sacrosanct ideals of America, the right to petition your government, the right to protest, the right to free speech and the right to protest. There were journalists there. I talked with classmates whose son was hit with one of the bullets in the park. The assault on the Americans peacefully protesting in their capital, that was an assault on all of us.
When Colbert asked about the show of force in Washington, D.C., Booker got emotional as he said, What it is is sad, what it is is hurtful, what it is is scary. Im a United States Senator, and I left here late last night, and I literally thought twice about putting on my shorts and a T-shirt to walk home because the painful thing thatand the conversation Ive had with many other black men this last weekis to know you have this fear, youve had it all your life.

I thought T-Bone protected him
What an insult to the black business owners and cops who have been killed by the “peaceful protestors”.
He is such a KAREN!
Pu$$y
He puts on shorts and a t-shirt to walk home from work?
Seems odd but whatever.
Omygosh. Who are they going to drag out of the woodwork next? Corn Pop?
He should run for President!
maybe the federal cops that protect his worthless hide should leave and let him protect himself.
Don’t spend time cruising rest stops with mcgreevy and you won’t have to worry about the po po.
A waste of perfectly good oxygen.
He should fear blacks more, go to Chicago, 22 dead over the weekend, not a peep..why, because it was blacks killing blacks..and somehow that is OK
Booker comes from an exclusive white middle class neighborhood in New Jersey. His parents were rich lawyers. He may even be a mulatto. He has never suffered repression by anyone.
Booker and Lemon are the biggest drama queens ever! They ought to take their show on the road.......disgusting POS
Get a grip, Spartacus! We're only rock n roll singers... Sting's his name, not what he does.
Omygosh. Who are they going to drag out of the woodwork next? Corn Pop?
I started to say he should get Corn Pop to protect him....he’s a bad dude.....just ask Joe Blow
I dunno. Since Bowers v. Hardwick was overturned, I don’t think he’s got anything to worry about.
A black, male Karen, LOL!
A black, male Karen, LOL!

Are you sure about that “male” part?
There’s nothing to fear from the police if you respect them, “sir” them out, and aren’t a criminal.
If you act like a jackass and disrespect them then you should be afraid - especially if you’re a criminal.
When a group makes up 6% of the US population and commits 50%+ of all murders in this country - this group (Black males) is unfortunately on the radar.
