this was one of the best interviews I've see from an athlete about the current climate of these social issues we are facing. Ben Watsons comes second but all his preaching at the end of his written piece could rub people the wrong way.
Andres thoughtful and reflective response was the perfect counter to that low life police union president who demanded an apology and suggested that NFL players, who are also american citizens, are "pathetic" and "pathetic when they think they know the law."

Yea.
Two downvotes.
Two insults.
Great interview. I have spent countless hours studying and researching the criminal justice system in our country, and can empathize with the black male prediciment in our nation.
But that interview sheds a glimmer of light in what being black in America offers.
There should be riots in Cleveland right now over the killing of that kid.
And it's nice to see an articulate athlete who knows and speaks about the root of the issue of criminal justice. It's kind of like the exact opposite of the Heat posing in their hoodies last year.
Awesome find.

Anybody who supports these idiots is fricking ignorant.
frick em. Let em rot the next time they need police when they get jacked.
Ignorance knows no bounds in today's society.

His name is Andrew... There is a "W" at the end of his name... I see you are once again blinded by your color vision... But I can agree with you on this interview because Hawkins chose to stand up for victims who were actually victims that were wronged by police. What he and Watson said, and the way they articulated their thoughts, is what I respect a lot.
My big question though to all parties is... Is gun safety, for any and all types, not taught any more? I do sincerely believe in both instances here the cops could have used much more intelligent discretion to assess the situation, but both young men did not use much intelligent discretion themselves in choosing to play with a firearm in public. My father told me at a young age, even airsoft/paintball/BB guns, are to be treated and handled like a deadly weapon, and in the event anybody is approach me about them, I am to drop them on the floor and declare it is non lethal. Both parties could have done better in both of these situations. I just hope people can learn from every single one of these instances and learn to be smarter in the future.
