There are two things he's trying to cover, which are guns and inappropriate police responses. He doesn't want to talk about those things too much because he's a gun fetishist and because reviewing the police response won't end up providing ammunition for him to use against the federal government, who he wants to attack because he sees them as a threat to the guns for which he is a fetishist. Also, 90% of the audience that Ted has at this point have some strong connections to law enforcement. So turning on them would be death for whatever career he has left.

And as much as we've enjoyed Alex being mad at the cops about how they killed an unarmed black man, which we've enjoyed. Uncharacteristic reasonability. It turns out that some of that might have more to do with hating the cops in 2009. He got pulled over, didn't he? He got some kind of ticky-tack bullshit. I don't know. I don't know. I think it just, I'm not entirely sure that I can't explain it, but I do know that it's not that he cares about black people.
