Welcome to the "I would've voted for Obama a third time" of Saturday Night Live cold opens.
The sketch show's latest episode kicked of with a newscast send-up featuring two Black hosts and two white hosts in Minnesota discussing the trial of Derek Chauvin. It doesn't go well.

In Whedon projects, people with power are morally bankrupt and his heroes fight for freedom until one of the good guys dies symbolically. These concepts have been gently remixed to form the Buffy the Vampire...
