Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden offered his support for the Milwaukee Bucks after the teamboycotted a playoff game Wednesday in solidarity with Jacob Blake.
“This moment demands moral leadership. And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good,” Biden tweeted. “Now is not the time for silence.”
Biden shared a Twitter link to a video statement from the team, in which the Bucks called for the Wisconsin state Legislature to hold a special session addressing police reform.
Bucks guard George Hill read the team statement, urging for peaceful demonstrations and for residents to make their voices heard in the ballot box on Nov. 3.
“We are calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand the officers be held accountable,” Hill said. “For this to occur, it is imperative for the Wisconsin legislature to reconvene after months of inaction and take meaningful measures to address police accountability, brutality and criminal justice reform.”

I guess this is the hope and change that Obama promised us! Hillary was supposed to continue! and now Joe for some reason thinks hes gonna continue with his krapp!!! shove it Joe. Locked up Obama and Hillary trump 2020
Biden is feeding birds in his fenced back yard with a sitter and has no idea what a tweet is. I called in April Biden will never debate Trump. It will not happen.
Still not sure what the officer was to do. The man refused to listen to his orders, walked around the car, opened the door and reached inside for a gun! Or was there a gun? Did the officer know what he was reaching for? Stupid people get shot for doing stupid things.
Should read Jill tweets, Joey doesn’t know how to tweet on his record player.
Sports don't have any relevance to 2020.
For love of country and god vote Trump 2020
These dumbocrats are really trying to turn this country into Venezuela.
Are you f'ing serious?? The man was walking away and was shot 7 times in the back at close range!!Get your racist MF'ing head out of your Eastern Shore sand!! This completely WRONG! Why is that POS cop trying to kill this man??
Cops are out of control.
Trump is a POS.
These fool's think anyone gives a shit about what they do?? Nobody watches basketball but blacks. Now the NHL want to follow as well. Bye bye hockey. Looks like a lot of reading going on. I guess I'll go to the range more.
What a joke he has become. I don’t know how anyone with even half a brain could vote for this idiot
Does anyone really care about the NBA, particularly in late August? They should just call it a year and start back in November, if ever.
OMG so terrible, a politician who actually applauds people using their first amendment rights.
405 LOL just wait as the leagues start taking real action, including political action, to support police reform.
Bucks.
Why hasn't this name triggered the SJW crowd in faux defense of Native Americans and African Americans?
Biden is a POS
@3:44 He could have done a multitude of things besides shoot him in the back SEVEN times. All he had to do was pull him out of the car and tackle him. Instead he decided to attempt to kill this guy simply for not following orders. ACAB
Yes professional sports is history, shut down all leagues let the thugs get real jobs!! Take away the golden goose then watch them cry like babies!!
12:00 He threatened the police with a knife. Wouldn’t comply. Told the officers he has a gun in the car and was going to get it. They tried to taser him but taser malfunctioned. Should they have just waited until he pulled the gun out and shot them? Play stupid games you win stupid prizes son. ABAB
5:47 Trumps your daddy ;)
6:23 Bingo! We have a winner!!
He said it after getting his diaper changed. He felt like a new dope.
