I am so proud of players like Mookie Betts and Clayton Kershaw and everyone who agreed to take a stand against police violence on unarmed people. If ever there was a case of government overreach it is these rogue cops acting as thugs, judges, jurors, and executioners.
Of course most police are professional people who really do want to help their communities. And I think the good cops are probably just as upset as anyone, too bad more won't speak out against the bad apples. The Justice Department needs to break the will of police unions and the code of silence. Good people speak up when there is injustice, especially when they love their country.
Some things are more important than hitting a ball and catching a ball, and the MLB players involved in the protest showed that they understand that.
