I only had one thing to say
By the time the NBA plays its first games in Orlando, it will be nearly five months since the Louisville police shot and killed Breonna Taylor, 26, at her home. The cops who shot him remain free, and Sixers forward Tobias Harris doesn’t want people to forget.
Harris’s message during his media time on Monday was brief but clear: Arrest officers who fired more than 20 shots and hit Taylor eight times.
Harris was asked about the social justice message shirts that Russell Westbrook and the NBPA are producing and whether the players plan to present them this season.
“Nothing against T-shirts, but we want to make sure that [Kentucky Attorney General] Daniel Cameron will arrest the police and officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor. And that’s all I have to say, “said Harris.
When another journalist tried to ask a question, he continued: “That will be my answer for every question. Daniel Cameron, one step ahead. Do the right. That is the only message I have today. I appreciate everyone. Thank you.”
People across the country continue to pressure those responsible in Kentucky and Louisville. Protesters have gathered daily in the streets for almost two months. Texans catcher Kenny Stills was one of those arrested last week in a protest. NBA players like Harris can’t be there in person to lend their support, but they can help keep the problem in the public consciousness by speaking out loud.
