    Everyone’s educated now lol
    Everyone’s an activist now
    We literally live in the least racist times.
    The black folks & brown folks of the past would be hyper offended to see the “struggles” people shout they are faced with in the modern 2021 world.
    Narratives & media perception have a hold on how people view the world & the events that take place in it.

      If this plandemic has taught us anything, is that media/goverment/hollywood are not our friends.

      I’m brown bro. And Wright could have avoided that by owning up to his crime.
      I complied as a 15 year old who never dealt drugs or smoked and got ran up on by a black undercover and his squad in a McDonald’s.

    Prayers for Officer Potter. It is a shame a young thug runs away and puts her in a position to make this kind of mistake.

    Just think of how different the country would be if the media actually reported ALL police shootings when a person of ANY color or race was killed.

      These idiot nba players dont even bother to do any research on police brutality. They just react to what they see on cnn and twitter.

      No one burning store fronts and flipping police cars for Tony Timpa. Just saying. He couldn’t breathe either. But, he was a white man, so that didn’t really matter.

    Dumb athletes another criminal got smoked and it was not on purpose. That officer is incompetent and that young dude was a thug. If it wasn’t her somebody else would have ended him the way he was going

    Daunte was all about “dat life.” If a cop didn’t kill him (while resisting arrest), one of his thug life cohorts would have a month later.

    We need to get criminals off the streets and reduce the population in an orderly manner. Nobody cares

    • Urbain Delva

      April 15, 2021 at 1:57 am

      ‘Reduce the population in an orderly manner’? Since when is killing an “orderly manner”?

    • melvin baker

      April 15, 2021 at 2:07 am

      @Urbain Delva he was a criminal with multiple offenses. innocent people die everyday that should not be killed. behave like humans not animals is the lesson. feel sorry for him but truth hurts

    Crime or not. This man didn’t deserve to die. How many more senseless “mistakes” are going to lead to the death of Black people? Love seeing the players and the league continue to use their platform to spread awareness to these situations.

      This isnt there platform this platform belongs to the greats of the late 80’s and 90’s who built up the NBA brand.

    I don’t care if he had a warrant or that he tried to drive away he didn’t deserve to be killed Rest In Peace🙏

      I mean the cops are humans too, and they have value also. There’s a lot of crime in the US, and you need to start being logical. Her action most likely wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t try to run everyone over. When you’re on the side of a vehicle and it starts driving off when you’re supposed to stay still, the police instinct need to kick in so they stop the threat. Cop pulled trigger by accident. She was probably alarmed that he started driving off and her finger mightve been on the finger. It’s his fault though initially running away from cops.

      Would you feel that way if he choked your girl and stole her rent money at gun point?

    • Darth MAGA Vader

      April 15, 2021 at 2:45 am

      Okay so what if he wrestled with cops was able to secure his car and drive away? What then? He runs over innocent bystanders in a frantic high speed chase? Think.

    I find a weird how ESPN and the NBA don’t have a diversity of political opinions. It’s almost like they’re all believe the same thing, kind of like they’re robots. I wonder why. 🤔

    • Kaizen Konversations

      April 15, 2021 at 1:36 am

      Exactly… they shove their narrative down our throats just like the news does. No balance or reasoning

    Am i wrong in thinking the shooting wasnt racially motivated. It was an inexcusable mistake sure, but it wasnt bc he was black imo.

    • Urbain Delva

      April 15, 2021 at 2:14 am

      Yeah, it wasn’t, but now it’s down to simple police negligence.

  22. Baby Boy

    Same stuff racism against black people. It’s getting worse.

  24. Nathaniel Abraham

    April 15, 2021 at 2:22 am

    He didn’t deserve to die. But why is no one talking about what lead to it. First off, he resisted arrest. Why resist? Secondly you have multiple warrants out for your arrest? Why do you have warrants in the first place?

    Yes the officer who shot him was negligent in the heat of the moment took a life that should not have been taken. She should be charged but please don’t make this about race. There are many lessons to be learned and no one is talking about resisting arrest smh

    If they disband this police department this wouldn’t happen. I pray for Brooklyn Center.

    • Darth MAGA Vader

      April 15, 2021 at 2:46 am

      It was good shoot move on

    • Jonathan Smith

      April 15, 2021 at 2:47 am

      If he didn’t rob someone at gunpoint and then try fleeing from the police this wouldn’t happen. Your priorities need recalibrated.
