Tim discusses essential workers including police staying on the job during the pandemic, then pivots into disturbing footage of police restraining and suffocating a man with a spit hood.
- Comedians criticizing road comics for working during COVID usually haven't been on the road themselves.
- Tim never judged people who went to work or got vaccinated during the pandemic; he does what he thinks is appropriate.
- Cops have been working throughout COVID, including in major cities.
- Tim describes a video of police putting a hood over a suspect's head, causing him to suffocate when pushed to the ground.
- Officers claimed they used the spit hood because the man had COVID-19 to protect themselves.
- Tim wants to defend police more but knows people personally who are cops with guns and shouldn't have guns.
- The police screening process is apparently the problem, as evidenced by officers smashing people into the ground.
- Putting hoods on people is comparable to how Ellen DeGeneres treated her staff.
