“What happened with Michael is a classic illustration of the reality of inequalities demonstrated daily,” he said in a statement. “May this incident inspire all of us to respond with compassion when inequalities are brought to light, and allow us to have the courage to stand for change. We can do better than this.”
NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell:
“Our foremost concern is the welfare of Michael and his family,” Goodell said. “The issues Michael has been raising deserve serious attention from all of our leaders in every community. We will support Michael and all NFLplayers in promoting mutual respect between law enforcement and the communities they loyally serve and fair and equal treatment under the law.”
