DETROIT -- Lions running back Reggie Bush, who has been outspoken about the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, continued his outspoken nature Sunday when he wore a shirt reading "I Can't Breathe" during pregame warm-ups Sunday.
Bush wrote the message -- in black ink on his blue shirt -- signifying the last words of Eric Garner, the New York man who died while being placed in a chokehold as he was being arrested.
Bush wore the shirt a day after Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose wore an "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt in pregame warm-ups prior to his team's game Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors.
He wasn't the only NFL player to display the message Sunday. Cleveland Browns cornerback Johnson Bademosi warmed up in a shirt with the message and St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Davin Joseph wore the message on his cleats.
Earlier this week, a grand jury said it would not indict the officer who was shown on tape choking Garner.

Apparently ace investigative reporter and pundit Emily Litella is reporting now that what he actually said was, "I can't breed! I can't breed!"

Since 0bama took office race relations have devolved more than most anyone would have predicted. Mr. “heal the world and stop the rise of the oceans” can’t even get ‘his people’ to understand that the laws apply to them as well. Plenty of blacks consider the 0bama-Holder team to be a form of blanket immunity from getting in trouble for their misdeeds, then law enforcement gives them a dose of reality and things go sideways.
I’m not excusing law enforcement actions in all cases, but Rudy Giuliani was right that the blacks need to stop committing crimes and get their own neighborhoods in check if they want things to improve.

Selling cigarettes as an end-run around New York's insane tobacco taxes. Oh, the horror...Selling cigarettes to PROFIT from New York's insane tobacco taxes. He would probably welcome even higher taxes. Good for his business.
Conservatives shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking of Garner as an urban Clivan Bundy.

Reggie Bush is a running back? Limping back is more like it.
