HeadlineJul 27, 2016

Meanwhile, former basketball star Michael Jordan has spoken out for the first time about police violence. A statement released by Jordan said: “As a proud American … and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers.” On Tuesday, Jordan donated $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and another $1 million to the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
