Biden offers support for Milwaukee Bucks following boycott of playoff game
|
[NYPOST] Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
 ...Candidate for president in 2020. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing ...
offered his support for the Milwaukee Bucks after the team boycotted a playoff game Wednesday in solidarity with Jacob Blake."This moment demands moral leadership. And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good," Biden tweeted. "Now is not the time for silence."
Biden shared a Twitter link to a video statement from the team, in which the Bucks called for the Wisconsin state Legislature to hold a special session addressing police reform.
Bucks guard George Hill read the team statement, urging for peaceful demonstrations and for residents to make their voices heard in the ballot box on Nov. 3.
"We are calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand the officers be held accountable," Hill said. "For this to occur, it is imperative for the Wisconsin legislature to reconvene after months of inaction and take meaningful measures to address police accountability, brutality and criminal justice reform."
Wisconsin police officer Rusten Sheskey shot Blake seven times in the back at point-blank range on Sunday as they attempted to place him under arrest in front of his three young sons.
