Thanks for covering this DJ. I was so proud of the NBA and everybody else for having the guts to stand up for what is right. This situation in Wisconsin is out of control. That kid that did the shooting, I hope they try him as an adult for murder.

Asked about the situation during a storm briefing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters on Thursday, Trump focused on quelling the protests without addressing the shooting that precipitated them.He wrote off a boycott by NBA players, claiming the league had become too political after several teams declined to play Wednesday night in protest of police violence against Black Americans.And he ended the questioning without answering whether he’d viewed the video of the incident, in which a White police officer is seen firing seven times into 29-year-old Jacob Blake’s back.

    The absence of any presidential statement about the shooting that left Blake partially paralyzed underscores the fraught approach to safety and policing Trump is adopting as he runs for reelection: while he has railed against Democratic authorities for allowing violence in their cities, he has largely brushed off the events and circumstances that led to the unrest.

I have much respect for the NBA players and other sports players who took a stand at their own expense. I’m not even interested in this convention any longer. I appreciate you writing this post.
