During this episode, the cast spoofed a Minneapolis morning news show to discuss the trial over George Floyds death in custody. Sounds like we all agree theres no way Derek Chauvin walks away from this, Kate McKinnon said.
Two black cast members, Keenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim, immediately began to express doubt.
McKinnon goes on to discuss how the defense has been arguing that Floyds cause of death was actually the fatal amount of drugs in his system.
And theres no way the jury is gonna fall for that, McKinnon says.
The black actors continue to express doubt that a white officer will be convicted.
Midway through the skit, a white cast member playing an anchor disavows violence and property damage.
I think we can all agree that no matter how bad things are, destroying property is never the answer, he says.
