Understanding the police

J.T. Brown of the Tampa Bay Lightning, one of 30 black members of the National Hockey League, announced that he will no longer raise his fist during the National Anthem in protest of police brutality and racism. Instead, he will work with the police on programs to get kids involved in sports and other activities that keep them out of trouble with the police.
So what changed his mind? Angry fans? Pressure from team owners? No, he took the police up on their invitation to join in on police training and learn what the people in blue really have to face on the job every day in dealing with suspects who resist arrest. Brown now says, “I have a better understanding, I can guarantee you that.”
Hey, NFL team owners: how about calling your local police departments to see if they’d like to have “Bring a football player to the Police Academy” Day?
