just pledged $1 MILLION"to improve our police training and address systematic racism through education and advocacy."
The 26-year-old -- who's expected to sign a monster new contract soon -- explained why the current climate has motivated him to take action.Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.and every black life, I am with you!" "I have viewed these protests and riots in our streets as a form of strength and an attempt to show we as black people have rights that aren’t being perceived as equally as our counterparts."
Prescott says he does not believe in looting or"that violence is the answer" ... but clearly believes things can change with proper education and training. Prescott does not specify exactly where his donation will go -- but says he won't just be writing a check ... he'll be personally involved."We will clean our streets in our communities not only of the looting and violence, but most importantly the racism, racial profiling, and hate!"
He should of put it in the black community
Interesting
This is OUR PRESIDENT!!RemoveTrumpNow
Training does not matter if you have fear, hatred and anger inside of you. This isn’t even a bandaid on a problem. You can’t “train” systemic racism out of organizations.
Let them pay their training out of pocket. Required college education for cops. Maybe they will value more their career and perform better as cops. Simple rule ,if you give a person everything easy,then they wont see the value in it.
It's gonna take a whole lot more than that mate, seeing these videos online just tells me every officer needs retrained!
This right here is what we blacks are suppose to fight for (police reform/retraining) for instead we would protest for days and return back to our normal lives until another black man is killed.
If Dak Prescott sincerely believes The Police should be employing a different approach policing CRIMINALS - that's a matter that is up to him to pursue. BUT Dak Prescott should STOP INSULTING BLACK PEOPLE Claiming: 'THEY'RE ALL CRIMINALS' & constantly being confronted by Police.
This is actually helping the issue at hand! 1st celebrity I've seen doing something to real help solve the problem! Good for him
You cannot train a fool. A. Wiseman.s heart is on the right. And a fools Heart is on the left Ecclesiastes put. Wisemen in important position.s. not. Fools
We already pay for their training Brother. You can channel that money to bail for the protesters!
Can we build our own? Support the rebuild of Black Wall Street. Let’s create our own policing. Build our own communities, schools, churches, and Hospitals. Let’s use our money to build up a community fo use Donate today. rebuildblackwallstreet
Care ALL the time, not when loss makes it easier to show your virtue. Ex-BLM member (years ago) saying it's not a good movement anymore. And this lady making a valid point.
😳😆Wow! And DrewBrees doesn't even believe it exists. Talk about opposite ends of a spectrum. The opinions are as different as black and white... Eh, eh, see what happened right there?
That’s all great and all but how’s that is going to get inside their racist mind and change them They’ll have this training but still be racist and do the attacking all over again.
You can’t pay racism off. Racists arent bred at the police academy, they develop that hatred at home growing up. But yeah give more money to the police, that’ll show em.
That won’t happen until they dissolve every police department & radically change hiring practices, days of teaching to talk instead of days to learn to shoot, sociology training, psych testing, making forces look like the diversity of the community. We got a long fücking way
That’s great but make sure your money is actually being used for that particular purpose!!
Same guy that spoke against kap
Well.... at least he gets idea
Worth more than $1 million dollars is dak pledging his time to oversee each dollar and each program. Just throwing money at something without confirming where it’s going is not always helpful. Kudos to him for pledging his time.
So generous of him.
Police are not the problem, the Racists portraying themselves as Police is the problem. Not all police are Racist and that is the first thing that needs to be Realized.
Shouldn’t we fired who been doing the training currently? Not sure how extra money will help outside police having golden batons with their ass whippings
Yeah Buddy. That may be a biiit tricky.
Niggas still think it’s “training” 💀
No training. AbolishThePolice
He's really banking on that next contract
Where’s kingjames pledge
Finally something to like about this guy
That’s hat 🔥
Now this is in the right direction. The thing is, almost any Government Department, it seems to be always cheaper to settle a huge payout in court, than it is to properly train Law Enforcement as a whole.
he really gonna need that contract now
🤣🤣he thought he’s helping by donating to the most corrupt gang EVER
Thank you. A start. Where are you wealthy? Celebrities Athletes politicians entertainers Billionaires
Why don’t he spend that on a quarterback coach.
Police Training!?!? How bout Private investigators/undercovers, investigating Cop's behavior on & off duty
Training can't cure that. This is evil illness we are dealing with. You can't train killer instincts out of a person. That is deep seated evil. Psychopath kind of stuff
That’s the way it is. Good deal
Oh he’s changed his tune I see
I’ve never been a fan but now I am. This is action!
Can these people stop “pledging” and just do it w/o the effin clout?
Great, all other celebrites elitists and rich who have been speaking out against PoliceBrutality should be doing the same. Put there dollas where their mouths are.
All PDs across this country need to be re-educated and retrained ... by a third party , because obviously some of them didn’t get it right the first time and people have suffered and died because of it. Good job dak for stepping up!!
Lol -- funniest crap I have seen all day. Dealing with resistant individuals has very little to do with race and everything to do with controlling the offender. Racism is actually a myth -- racism is bad character, therefore no amount of money can fix this 'fictious' problem. 🤣
Should spend that money on inner city education or black on black crime. That’s where the real problem is.
NOW THATS A START. HATE THE COWBOYS BUT PRESCOTT IS GOING TO START CHANGE. APPLAUD !!
Hopefully that 1 million doesn’t get intercepted
How about 1/2 for public education how to interact with police?
And the money was intercepted
Police do need better training
dak first off a millions bucks would never be enough money to fix a situation like this. Secondly you can’t put a price on racism jackass
Corny ass
flythonia
Donate the cash to BLM not the pigs!!!
Stop giving cops money. DefundThePolice BlackLivesMatter
Hi Dak, that $mil. you're thinking about pledging for police reform is cool, but you may want to take a good look into who's hands it going to wind up in. The Police (overseers) Union backs all Police Dept. Who pledge to hire KKK, Supremacist groups.
Cowboys 0-16
How about educating criminals?
They’ll use that for more militaristic uniforms and weapons. Dak is not slick. Jerry showed you what he thinks of you already dummy
Giving it to the families of people murder by police officers would have profited more. They don’t need more training; they need to see people as human beings. Period
Wow.. only a million to stop racism. Throwing money at it always helps bud. Moron.
dak The police don't need more money. They know what NOT to do and do it anyway. But yeah, thanks for giving them more money to terrorize communities across the country.
This is what the world needs rn.
Fk outta here Dak. Thats what Tax Dollars should be used for. They Just dont care to do it
dak knows hes gettin paid lol..even tho hes not worth it
abolish and defund police.we need more of this
He wants 40 million every year 😂😂😂😂Don’t spend your money Dak.
Trash!
iamlizzthegreat
Lmfaoooo
You don't pay them, that's going right in their pockets, it's not about their training, its about how they look at people, you have KKK, MS-13'S, ARYAN BROTHERHOODS, and many more that are police, everybody factor that in and add a sprinkle of cult within a cult and you have cops
Police get plenty of funding. So much that they easily pay brutality law suits. That’s basically what you’re helping. They have money for training. dak
That’s my mf QB 👏🏻👑
Good shit but police training aint it
dak Save your money. It's a mindset. It cant be fixed.
'If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.' ~ Malcolm X
that's why he's the quarterback of America's Team .
Hows about $1m more to Civilian training? In the black community?
Thank you police training !!! And retraining All police have to be accountable for the ones that are not good they have to be reported and they have to be stop if not then the good ones have to get fined and let go as well they have to be accountability 100% have to be retrain
Ain’t no way this nigga just gave money to police
Big ups dak - now talk to Jerruh the Trump-supporting Billionaire and get him to donate. dallascowboys
He’s an idiot if he actually think his money isn’t supporting their racism
this is how to use your platform god bless you dak
A million dollars can’t buy human decency
He's a Foot Soldier For GOD BOOTS ON THE GROUND ,NOT STAYING COMFORTABLE WILLING TO FUND A relevant cause. Power To The Free Thinkers Of This Age. His solutions are not angry & outdated ,they are progressive & smart.
ElTankeDeFrank this yo QB?
Better spent on gang removals
Police budget is perfectly fine for training, he just gave them a million to hire more racists, should have used it to train on his throwing arm
why are people mad at this?
talk about the STUPIDEST reason to give money to cops. that’s what happens when he’s got Jerry Jones saggy balls in his mouth.
I wonder who's the recipient of the funding. The article doesn't say, but I hope it's one of the community based, anti-police brutality advocacy groups, not a police officer's union or foundation.
Very cool but he shouldn’t have to. They need a complete retooling of law enforcement training and it should be federally funded.
Might as well give me that million at least I wolt waste it
This you?
You still gone be a nigga...
Save your money no amount of training can fix what they got
Someone call these guys back, someone’s got a lesson to learn
pittore617 6391746294T
I can name many charities that will benefit from a million dollars, BUT police training ain't one, save your money. When you have a group of people bent on killing because of a different skin color or looks, you might as well, drive to the golden gate bridge and dump the cash.
That’s 90% of his net worth. paytheman
dak naw this definitely ain’t it bruh. 🤦🏾♀️
Let's not arrest black people ever as long as we dont have to hear about racism ever again
he play for the cowboys so this was expected lol
That’s awesome
Waste of money
they been getting funding for training since they been kicking our azz & it still haven't worked
This is what the world needs.
I hope he’s not about to write a big ass check to the police. He needs to elaborate bc I’m not feeling this at all. That money could’ve gone to racial equality organizations.
I feel like this wasn’t the right move. And it makes me question his process on coming to this decision. Unless...🤷🏾♀️ he doesn’t want to rack the boat with Jerry or his white family members who aren’t interested in the movement.
Just sign extension already Dak damn
That’s a lot of money for a soon to be backup qb
he fixed it !
🙄🙄🙄
Yup, throw money at the problem, that will fix it. 🙄
Please don’t waste your $ Sir. Police training is not the problem. They already know how NOT to kill people. They abuse & kill because they WANT to
Maybe he should invest in learning how to read defenses - just saying...
As he should!
