He will be.

He'll give an intelligent and thoughtful response like usual and represent Louisiana proudly.

He'll have a great answer about how we are all people and we need to be united. I guarantee it. Even if someone writes it for him, that's what he'll say.

I think so too. I am surprised he didnt say that in his tweet with the photo itself.

I support LF7 and I have no issue with him questioning what happened when 1 of 2 policemen from 6 inches fire point blank on the dude !

Of course I don't have all the details but dam !!!

It was a bad moment and I feel bad for the 2 guys paid to protect me but I feel bad for the dude that just lost it all that quick - the list of what the dude should have done is a long one - but killing the man because of he might get his gun with the free hand don't work for me

My son is a police officer - just so you know

we all need to be support the lives of all human beings. Color shouldn't be an issue.

In this case it's not clear what happened at this point, but Leonard sure has a right to express himself, and so far, he isn't out rioting.

I don't like this being a racial issue. The police are justifiably more afraid for their lives these days, and everyone should express their concern about how our police force is trained, act and function so that innocent lives aren't lost thru wrongful shootings. I am concerned when black people, white people, red and yellow and brown people's rights as US citizens are abridged, and especially when they get shot by policemen because the policemen freaked out and shot them without justification. this does happen.

I want to support the police as well. they deserve it.

we don't need a war between the blacks and the police.

one thing that would go a long way is if we'd get rid of the stupid war on drugs.

Leonard is OK. he's done nothing worthy of criticism. I'm sorry Mr. Sterling was shot. I hope that it was justified for peace sake. If it wasn't, then the officer responsible should have to pay a price.

He's a black man living in the same city where a black man was killed. You may disagree with him but anyone offended by this needs to get over it. It's not like he's out starting a riot over it. It's just a t-shirt. He's represented LSU very well and I enjoy watching him play football so this won't affect my feelings towards Leonard Fournette.

LOL
Had this been tyrone skinner from chippewa street he would have been called a typical tpos with a stupid opinion.
LF does it and it's oh... he's entitled to his opinion.

The problem with you "mouthbreathers" on this site is that its not what someone does or says but who does it or says.

Pathetic.

Yep - this is a tough issue

Even with the police being vindicated, it's still sad when we know a man died and don't know if the guy was actually going for his gun or not.

I just hope people learn to put up their hands, never resist and for God's sake, if you have a concealed weapon, tell the police officer immediately. Most CCW instructors preach this stuff.
