On Thursday's "Nightly Show," Larry Wilmore said that police shootings of unarmed black people have become so commonplace that his writers are basically just tasked with filling out a Mad Libs sheet every night.

That latest case, Wilmore discussed,  was the story of Ray Tensing, a University of Cincinnati police officer who was indicted for the murder of Sam Dubose.

“But in the cop’s defense — he thought he could get away with it,” Wilmore quipped.

Wilmore went on to share a sample of his very own "Larry Libs": “I’m furious about the video of (name of the victim) the unarmed black (gender) being murdered by a white cop with the (city) police department. It makes me want to (verb) all over everything with a big (vegetable)."
