'It shouldn't be forgotten that the shooting happened just before the Super Bowl, at a time when people have been seeing football as a symbol of protest in light of Colin Kaepernick bringing attention to police brutality and injustice,' one attorney said.

erikjhortiz Ppl don't care what the police do, until it happens to them.

Don’t Run! Please teach your sons NOT to run! It is so very dangerous to run. Not worth the risk.

The NFL is the wrong forum for this protest.

Why does noone seem to care about the police officers that get shot? If you commit an armed robbery and you don't comply with police, you shouldn't be surprised if you die because of it.

Dalot__Era Exactly! Nobody wants to lose out on a chance to cash in while the lots and cameras are on! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ No one yapping about minority head coaching jobs either. Next week.

PayAttention

__shaynaaa This headline is a reach. Although I support Kaepernick’s stance, one of the three men who were shot was an armed robber. So this headline and news article has left great details out.

America would be a happier place if it was still part of our empire.

Yes they did that on purpose. Like everything else they’ve done.

erikjhortiz erikjhortiz what part of atlanta do you live in?

Maybe Atlanta should fire all police officers by Friday... and rely on the good ppl of Atlanta and those visiting Atlanta to keep in line and not get rowdy, or shoot at each other, or steal, or break any rules. See, you don’t need cops if ppl would voluntarily obey the laws.

I imagine this is how those at HQ pick their “White people are racist” story of the day.

It shouldn't be forgotten what ray lewis done at a super bowl either
