In a statement posted to his Twitter account on Sunday, Jordan says he stands with everyone peacefully protesting the racism and violence against people of color.

“I am deeply saddened, truly pained and plain angry. I see and feel everyone’s pain, outrage and frustration. I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough,” he wrote. A Minneapolis police officer put his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, despite Floyd saying he couldn’t breathe multiple times. Floyd died on May 25, and the officer involved was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Protests have taken place around the country in major cities, with some turning into looting and violence.“I don’t have the answers, but our collective voices show strength and the inability to be divided by others.

Many other celebrities, including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish, have shown support for protestors, in addition to joining demonstrations around the country. “My heart goes out to the family of George Floyd and to the countless others whose lives have been brutally and senselessly taken through acts of racism,” said Jordan.

Murder is already illegal

This guy who has authoritarian impulses should probably not speak. We need the Pippens, Thomases, Ewings to lead the way.

You also need to change your leader...

note: you wont get change with Biden.

The only change that we can do to help this situation is to make a change for the future. Change the role of the police department. Make their purpose to protect property AND PEOPLE. This will help all colors of lives. Domestic violence victims too

Which is something all famous people say then crickets

Amarillest.

Has Jordan had enough of the Nike sweatshops that make his stuff from slave labor?

Remind me, was Obama president in 2014, Jordan? A policewoman supervised the arrest of Eric Gardner, the original 'I can't breathe' victim who was black. 'The arrest was supervised by a female African-American NYPD sergeant, Kizzy Adonis, who did not intercede.[48]' -Wikipedia

How's your royalties from Nike been affected by the death of George Floyd? I don't think they will stop sending you checks, you could send George Floyd's family a check though Michael, you know to help cover funeral expenses.
