Bad Apples

2020-05-29 22:34:26.425789+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The best lines from Chris Rock's new Netflix special 'Tamborine'

Rock addressed social issues early on, asserting that simply referring to a few violent cops as "bad apples" is not a good defense for law enforcement as a whole.

"Bad apple? That's a lovely name for murderer. ... I mean, I've had a bad apple. It was tart, but it didn't choke me out," Rock said.

He continued: "I know it's hard being a cop … But some jobs can't have bad apples. Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like, pilots. American Airlines can't be like, 'You know, most of our pilots like to land, we just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains.'"
