re: Where does Donovan Mitchell live

Considering Mitchell spends some time here still in Louisville, I can understand his concern.

I’ve never stepped foot in Kentucky, much less Louisville, and I’m concerned. That’s a horrible story. It’s an inexcusable mistake and everyone involved should be prosecuted. But it was a mistake, done out of incompetence rather than racism. Her being black was not a contributing factor.

I totally support police reform and increasing the standards for LEOs everywhere (though I actually think we should increase funding for police in order to both provide better training and attracting a higher level of candidates). But perpetuating this myth that black people are being hunted by police is just wrong. And dangerous. For everybody.

Btw, 9 murders in Chicago this weekend (making 433 for the year), including a cute 7-year-old black boy. He was in own home. Killed by a stray bullet in crossfire. Likely gang-related. I wonder how many NBA players will have his name on their shoes tonight?
