Sherman wrong abour police

Richard Sherman, defensive back for the Seahawks, spoke out about police shootings of African Americans. He maintains, as do other ill-informed “celebrities,” that police are shooting innocent African Americans for no reason. He said, among other idiotic quotes, “… they’re getting killed in the street for nothing.”

Nothing, like brandishing a gun or a knife or refusing to obey the officer’s orders. These are people committing crimes. Why won’t anyone say this? It’s called telling the truth. Just be honest. It’s the easiest thing in the world.

By the way, more non-African Americans are killed by the police than African Americans. They are criminals, too. So, get off your politically correct high horse and tell the truth. Now what’s your argument?
