Seahawks Michael Bennett: Cops Killing Black People a ‘Form of Terrorism’

[excerpt]
BENNETT: "It just feels like nothing is really changing. We see a lot of black men getting killed by the police and I’m just hoping something changes and we talked about the ‘Black Lives Matter’ thing and that’s one of the things we were talking about. People should be protecting us and the police is one of them and every month we find out another black man is murdered and I feel like that’s a form of terrorism, too. We talk about Paris and, it’s not blowing up a building or anything, but at the same time it’s killing our own people and it’s happening from the people that’s supposed to be protecting us. I’m afraid that some cop might not like the car I’m driving, the way I’m living or the way I’m talking. It could happen to anybody, especially being a black man. They don’t care if I play in the NFL. If I’m not in Seattle, I could be in a whole other city and they had might not know I’m playing in the NFL and they might treat me different. Of course I’m nervous whenever I get pulled over by police. I’m just making sure I got everything right and making sure that, you know, I’m following all the right rules."
