LA Clippers coach Doc Rivers got very emotional in an interview after their game against the Mavericks... Said he feels like regardless of everything that has changed, that America still doesn't love them (meaning black people).... "It's really so sad. Like, I should just be a coach. I'm so often reminded of my color. It's just really sad. We got to do better. But we got to demand better. It's funny. We protest. They send riot guards. They send people in riot outfits. They go up to Michigan with guns. They're spitting on cops. Nothing happens."

Robert Horry also spoke out... "It’s hard to tell your 14-year-old son that I worry about him when he walks out that door,” Horry said. “I have a 21-year-old son. I worry about him because Black men are an endangered species pretty much. These cops are just killing because they feel like if they don’t have their body cams on, they have a right... And I tell my kids all the time. I say, ‘Dude, I don’t care what’s going on because at the end of the day I want you coming home to me. If you have to lay down on the ground and they can kick you, beat you, at least you’re going to go to the hospital and you’re going to come home to me."
