    While many celebrities have stay quiet, Michael Jordan has just come forward to show his support for our police officers.

    “As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement,” Jordan said in a statement shared by The Undefeated yesterday morning. “And angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers. I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.”

    “I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late,” he continued. “I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers—who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all—are respected and supported.”

    Jordan then went on to state that he has personally witnessed the dedication of law enforcement working to protect his family, though he acknowledged that “for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than” his.

    Finally, he called for Americans to come forward and work together for real change.

    “To support that efforts, I am making contributions of $1 million each to two organizations, the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s newly established Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund,” he concluded. “Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem, I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference.”

    Jordan’s message and gesture was a profound one, speaking to the true issues at hand. But Black Lives Matter protesters didn’t see it that way. They were quick to call Jordan “Uncle Tom” on Twitter, and accused him of only being concerned about his money.

    What do you think of Jordan’s statement?

    Mr. Jordan thank you for your support of our enforcement officers. BLM is not the role model for our young adults or children. It may be that Soros payment to the organization and our present administration ruined the voice by encouraging combined BLM/CAIR and the Black Panthers with their assassins. This is document news with photos of group strategy meets in the WH with President and Muslim Beotherhood.

    I believe by name BLM and the Panthers along with CAIR announcing separate the plan to overcome states to create a nation in our nation with first calling blacks to migrate to five states. Muslims are members of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood 's CAIR Hamas according to Holy Lands trial records co-conspirators which were blocked by the OBama administration according to the memo from Military's investigation.

    So you see the Obama adm. is going after anyone that get in its way, even if it Michael Jordan!!!

    Cops Get Close to Trump’s Plane, Get Epic Surprise They’ll Remember Forever

    Prior to departing Tampa, Florida, GOP nominee Donald Trump took time out of his Tuesday afternoon to speak, shake hands and take photos with a group of cops from the city.

    Seen in a video posted to Facebook by the GOP nominee, the courtesy shown by Trump contrasted like night and day with the unrelenting disrespect that President Barack Obama prefers to shower on the nation’s law enforcement officers.

    From maligning cops as racists to contemptuously dismissing their concerns, the president has made it clear that he thinks very poorly of them.
